No email/password login to locus pro?
Not a Problem
I have purchased Locus Maps Pro for my Android device (and Locus for iPad). I went to download offline maps on my Andrlid device and was told I needed to register with My Locus Profile with Facebook or Google credentials. I never use shared credentials as this is *terrible* security practice (I am a CS professor). Is it seriously not possible to login with seperate email/password, as is possible in these fora? If not, that is really bad software design and policy on your part.
The same problem 
I do not speak for Locus, but for myself:
CS professor should know that all text underlined, same as all text capitalized is in internet context usually considered as SHOUTING. It is really bad communication policy on your part. Do you often shout on people you do not know ?

Good day James, Libor :),
Locus Map on iPad seems to be some secret feature we are not aware. Do you have an photo please?
About accessing My Locus profile to access Locus Store:
Thank You.

No, normally *upper case* is shouting; underlining is for hyperlinking, and *splats* are for polite emphasis (or _underlines_ in UIs that automatically translate this to italics). I did not underline that text intentionally. I now see a formatting bar, but did not when I initially entered, @Libor, perhaps due to noscript defences. I will edit. I've no idea how long you've been online, but I was following nettiquite since the early 1980s more than a decade before RFC 1855 existed.
Do you normally make assumptions about behavoiur and accuse people you don't know @Libor?
On edit: It looks as though now that the report has changed status to 'in progress' that I can no longer edit it.

Well, some people shout by capitals, others in bold or underlining. All is abusing of metatextual information. Additionally, it was in agreement with rather non-cooperative style of the post you have chosen. So intention was very probable. I would not react just because of the formatting, it could be a mistake. Stylization is not a mistake.
I apologize for misinterpretation of your formatting.

OK, here are the series of screenshots @Menion requested; hopefully they remain in order. I used the menu bar to select 'Maps', push the + button and get to the first screen shot. I select 'Offline maps download' assuming this will let me purchase and download maps (I want all of North America, Europe, and Asia offline on my SD card). Then I'm asked to activate MyLocus, which I do, and decline permission to contacts (of course). The last screen then only gives me the option of using my Google or Facebook credentials; this is what I do not want to do. I expected the usual option of creating an account with a userid or email and password (as for these fora). But that is not an option here.
I generate a long strong unique password for every different account and use a password manager to keep them encrypted since it is bad security policy to share credentials across applications and services. This is what I hope I can do, but I don't see how to do it here, and didn't see any way to do it with the desktop Web browser interface either.
Thanks,
James
