Mile markers, bridge underpass overpass cleaned info? is this possible.

Just wondering if the tags could be added or the info imported as poi so the they show up as physical objects. They can be used as waypoints and such.

As for the bridge items I am a commercial truck driver and bridges are a big part of my job.

Also knowing weight ratings of roads is his too for planning tours.

If any or all of this could be added that would be great

Good day Brian,


hope you are aware, that Locus is mainly for hike/bike activities, not for car or truck driving.


If I understand correctly, you wants to display in Locus mainly some information about bridges, it's weight limits etc. If such information exists freely for download, you should download and import them on your own. Anyway I'm sure you will understand, that such information has no usage for most of Locus users. Thanks for understanding.

If you download HGV POIs from elsewhere (such as http://www.mobilescommunity.com/tomtom-truck/178794-bumper-collection-hgv-pois.html ) you can import them into Locus and display them on your map.

There are various collection of truck POIs available commercially or semi-commercially.

@menion: Locus is pretty good for car driving and even has a "road" internal style. It would be even better if it had decent offline routing built-in. It absolutely has to be offline because there are too many places where the mobile data signal is bad or non existant.

I'm aware of missing offline routing. Personally, I'm not good in creating complicated algorithms like routing, but fortunately we have here existing BRouter system (which already works) and also GraphHopper system which is currently in preparation. So something useful is coming ... :)
