How to migrate from Locus Map Classic to Locus Map 4


Locus Map is a complex software with many customization options. Before the transfer of your data from Locus Map Classic to Locus Map 4, please pay attention to the following:

Seamless upgrade

Valid for Locus Map Classic version 3.70.17 and newer. Please update your app to this version before proceeding.

  • Tap Upgrade to Locus Map 4! in the Locus Map Classic main menu
  • You are redirected to Google Play to install Locus Map 4 (if you have already installed Locus Map 4 before, this step is skipped). After installing LM4, get back to LM Classic.
  • Back in Locus Map Classic, a migration backup file is automatically created. It contains all your data – tracks, routes, points, maps and settings
  • When done, Locus Map 4 is started and the migration backup is restored in it
  • Restart Locus Map 4 and you’re done!

To get the discount of 100% on Premium Silver and 50% on Premium Gold, log in with the same Locus account you used in Locus Map Classic.

Android 6 - 10

  • It is not possible to use both Locus Map 4 and Locus Map Classic with one shared directory. LM 4 uses a different database structure. Installing LM 4 in the same directory converts the database to LM 4 version and disables LM Classic from reading the database.
  • To prevent converting the LM Classic Library, make sure the main directory of Locus Map Classic is moved to the private sector in the Android/data folder before installing Locus Map 4.

After the measures above, you may perform the seamless upgrade as described in the first paragraph.
