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 **[[https://www.locusmap.app/support-for-search-and-rescue/|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.
