====== Older versions of Locus Map ======

===== Downgrade =====
It may happen that the newest version of Locus Map doesn't work as you've expected and you want to **downgrade**. We respect that and we offer older versions for download and installation from our **[[https://bit.ly/lmVersions|public repository]]**:
==== Instructions ====
* (optional) change the location of the **[[manual:user_guide:settings:backup_fsys#set_custom_sub-directories|custom subdirectories]]** (if you have any) to **the default within the main app's directory**
* create a **[[manual:user_guide:settings:backup_fsys#manual_backup|backup of your data]]** and store it outside of the main app directory, e.g. to the system "download" folder
* go to Locus settings > Backup & Filesystem > [[manual:user_guide:settings:backup_fsys#app_data_transfer|App data transfer]] > **unload app data**
* select e.g. "download" directory and create a **new folder** in it. Name it e.g. "locus_data". **Confirm**.
* **uninstall** Locus Map and **reboot** your device
* **select** a desired Locus Map version APK file from the repository and **install it** (this requires additional permission to install apps from unknown sources)
* **[[https://docs.locusmap.app/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:settings:backup_fsys#load_app_data|load app data]]** from the "locus_data" folder - be aware that the **older version may not be compatible with the data from new versions**. If you are unsure, skip this and proceed to the next step.
* **[[https://docs.locusmap.app/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:settings:backup_fsys#restore_from_backup|restore backup]]**
* **restart** Locus Map

===== Older Android OS =====
If you would like to install your app but you have a device with an older Android version that is not supported by the current Locus Map available in Google Play Store, you can **download and install a version compatible with your Android OS**.
**Locus Map Pro**
To use an older Locus Map Pro, you have to purchase a license for Locus Map Classic. Please do so in the [[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=menion.android.locus.pro|Google Play Store]] in an Android emulator on your PC, running Android higher than 6.0 (e.g. [[https://www.bluestacks.com|Bluestacks]]) - the license validation will work for the old Locus Map Pro as well.
