LoPoints are dynamic points of interest that can be displayed above any map. Each LoPoint marks the location and category of a particular place and contains additional information - e.g. opening hours, WWW, phone number, and other attributes. LoPoints can be navigated to and guided similarly to Locus user points. LoPoints are based on OpenStreetMap and Wikipedia data.
Online LoPoints are loaded from the internet and contain also photos from Wikipedia and from Locus users:
They can be turned on/off from the content panel:
Offline LoPoints are an integral part of LoMaps but can be also displayed above any other map. They can be turned on/off from the content panel as well.
LoPoints database (mapname.osm.db) can be used only when a corresponding LoMap map file (mapname.osm.map) is present in /mapsVector/ directory. If the map file is removed (e.g. due to saving space for use of another map) the POI file cannot be initialized.
You can browse offline LoPoints by categories, select a category and highlight it on the map.
LoPoints can't be exported.
You can search for LoPoints or their categories both from the LoPoints browser
and from the general Search
It works full-text so e.g. keyword “rests” returns all points with “rest” in their name, description or amenity. The search results can be highlighted on the map in the same way as described above.
To deactivate the highlight, tap again the icon in the topbar:
If you decide to inspire other hikers, cyclists, travelers, and other wanderers to discover interesting places through your photos, you can do so this way:
This can also be done offline. The photos are kept in temporary memory and uploaded when you get online.
All photos are checked by the Locus team before attaching them to LoPoints. It takes up to two workdays.
We recommend you follow the best practices for adding your photos >>
