-Locus Map is a very **universal app** - it can be set for **many various activities**, and not only the leisure time ones -  it can also navigate in car or help professionals collect geo data or locate targets for rescue squads. This versatility and vast range of features, however, has its drawbacks - using Locus for more activities means a lot of re-setting.
