Work in progress…


All your user data - tracks, routes, and points - are managed in the Library. It can be accessed from:

Main screen

  1. the topbar contains a number of displayed/all items, Search button, and a tool menu
  2. breadcrumb navigation
  3. a list of folders, tracks, routes and points
  4. add content button

Structure of folders

Your data is managed in a structure of folders and sub-folders. Tracks, routes and points can be mixed. Three levels of nested subfolders are available for free. With Premium, you can use up to six levels.

Folder line

Each folder line consists of an icon, a folder name, a number of subfolders, a number of items displayed/hidden on the map, and the eye button, controlling content visibility on the map.

Eye button

It controls the visibility of the folder content on the map. You can display all or hide all. Plus, you can include or exclude subfolders.

Adding a new folder

To add a new empty folder to the library, tap + button to open the content-adding dialog and select New folder:

The new folder dialog emerges. After inserting the folder name and editing other info about the folder (optionally), tap ADD:

Parent folder

This is pre-filled by the name of the folder from which you triggered the request for the new folder. If you want to change this, tap the parent folder name to open the selection of a different parent folder.

Icon&Name

Set the icon (optional) and the name (mandatory) of the new folder.

Line style

Here you can set a folder-specific line style for tracks and routes stored in this folder. Otherwise, the general line style is applied.

Point label

Here you can set a folder-specific behavior of the map labels for points.

Track label

Here you can set a folder-specific behavior of the map labels for tracks and routes.

Circles around points

This option is primarily useful for geocachers - according to Geocaching.com rules, physical parts of individual geocaches may be placed at least 528ft/161m from each other. This function helps visualize such an area:

The folder setup can be edited at any time using the folder tools in the library menu.

Cloud sync

Available only with Premium Gold

Selecting this option opens a dialog for manual synchronization of your data with the cloud and other devices using the same Locus account.
Your points, tracks and routes are then automatically synchronized (saved to and downloaded back) with your personal web library via Locus cloud service. This happens after every change of your data - when a track is recorded, route planned etc. More details here >>

It is necessary to perform the first synchronization with the cloud manually. This way your personal web database is created.
