My Library

All your user data - tracks, routes and points - is saved in the Library that is stored locally within the Locus Map app and also on the web. Both local and web libraries are seamlessly synchronized when you have Premium Gold active.
The library is divided into two parts:

• Tracks & Routes - containing your recorded tracks, and planned or imported routes
• Points - containing your imported geocaches or newly created user points of interest
  

Tracks, routes and points are stored in folders that can be included in groups.

Folders can be individually placed in the library or included in groups. They can be sorted according to various criteria, moved, newly created, and deleted.

You can sort both folders and groups.

• tap the sorting button in the bottom bar and select Folder sorting
• select criteria - by name, update or creation. You can also reverse the sorting.
  

You can move both folders and groups.

• single folder/group - swipe the folder name to the left > tap Move
  
• multiple folders/groups - tap Edit in the bottom bar > checkboxes appear on the left from the folders > check the folders/groups you want to move > tap Move button in the bottom bar
