Locus Store can be simple described as e-commerce system. Locus users can download different data with goal to use them in Locus Map app. These can data can be in variable forms (maps, POIs, tracks, etc…) . Users can get data for free or for fee – it depends on requirements of data provider. So if you want to provide your data in Locus store following information are vital for us.

• Name und Vorname of provider
• Anbieter-Symbol - best is semi-transparent 64x64px PNG image

• Form der Daten - in which form can be your data distributed? In form of file/package? Is it some online service?
• Der Name of item
• Symbol for item - can be similar as provider icon. Again best is semi-transparent 64x64px PNG format
• Bilder - suggest to prepare at least 3 images (PNG format) or screenshots that better describe the data. Recommend resolution is about 1280 x 720 px (optional - not needed to fit exactly the same pixel value).
• HTML Beschreibung - that describe what data are provided
• Länder oder Region - area which is covered by item (in case of map) or definition of country where item can be used (parameter is optional)
• Anwendungsbereich - For what purpose is best to use data. Are data useful for hiking, cycling, sailing or different area?
• GeoJson des Artikelbereichs (optional) - similar to region parameter. In case that map cover some specific area, we can able to show coverage on map and user can select item for purchase directly on map. Simplified GeoJson about 50 - 100 points is preferred.
• Data itself and decision where data will be stored.
  • Unser Lager – Wir nutzen Google Cloud Storage oder den Amazon S3-Dienst.
  • Auf deiner Seite – so data has to be available via generated link for downloading

All items in Locus store can be purchased for internal virtual currency called LoCoins. Users can get LoCoins for real money via Google in app billing (we’re planning to add support for PayPal payments, etc.). Right now users can get 100LoCoins for 1 euro + VAT.

Der Kauf selbst kann auf drei verschiedene Arten durchgeführt werden:

• Bezahlen Sie für ein Paket – it’s like e-commerce system. User select one item (for example one package of map) pay for it and Locus download it. If item is purchased the user can repeatedly download this package for free for one year.
• Abonnement – useful for using some services. Users pay once per month/year any fee and get “unlimited” access to your maps. Parameters of this “unlimited” work, is just on you. (please note that this feature is still in preparation)
• Zahlen Sie, wie Sie gehen – Locus use this method for downloading specific area of tiled map. Users select area they want to download. Locus computes the number of tiles and based on price of every tiles is computed price for whole package. This approach can be customized to your requirements. For example online access would be for free (maps cached just on few hours), and every download would be paid.

Grundsätzlich kommt es darauf an, wie viel Zeit und Arbeit Sie in die Sicherheit stecken möchten. Da es ganz konkret sein kann, fragen Sie uns einfach.
