Update when both Locus Map 4 and Locus Map Pro are installed


After installation of the update one app detects the other one

and offers the transfer of the data in two ways:

Moving data

  • data of one app is moved to the main directory of the other app
  • the first app (and other possible apps) loses access to its data (the first app can go on with a new empty database - no maps, no tracks/points etc. - that is created automatically)
  • custom sub-directories and external maps are not moved - the updated app doesn't have access to this data - therefore, we recommended merging the custom sub dir data to the main directory before the whole app data transfer

Copying data

  • data of one app is copied to the main directory of the other app
  • both apps continue to work independently, each using its own database of tracks, routes and points. The databases are not synced.
  • custom sub dirs and external maps are not copied - only the first app keeps access to them
