-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 a car or help professionals collect geo data or locate targets for rescue squads. This versatility and a vast range of features, however, has its drawbacks - using Locus for more activities means a lot of re-setting. Speaking of adjustments to your screen layout, changing the type of navigation recalculation, switching vector map themes etc.
