Quick WWW Bookmark


  • This feature is available in Locus Map Pro only.

About

Feature enabling to bookmark a parameter URL of any map website that can transfer you to Locus Map defined location by a single button tap e.g. for downloading tips for trips. The function can be found in the Menu > More at the bottom.

As there are many map websites or servers and each of them uses different structure of their parametrized URL, there is not a single universal instruction how to set up this function. For better understanding what this function is about, we will present a demo setup made on a well known track database Bikemap.net

  3. insert the name and compose the URL template according to the website URL, using ADD TAG button for the variables:

    the final setup will be like this:


    The URL syntax must be preserved or the feature will not work!
  4. Confirm
  5. adjust the map in Locus Map at your desired location

  6. tap Quick WWW Bookmark in Menu > More and select the Bikemap bookmark

  7. a web browser window opens with Bikemap.net positioned at your location:
