Locus Map Lite

An early iOS version of Locus Map


About

An early stage of the iOS variant of outdoor navigation app Locus Map, full-featured and popular on Android devices. Development started from scratch in 2023.

In May 2024, the app offers the following:

  • LoMaps online - outdoor map suitable for hiking and biking, available online only
  • LoMaps Ski - online map for winter activities
  • Satellite map - aerial and satellite imagery with labels
  • LoPoints - dynamic points of interest with tourist information, Wikipedia and users' photos
  • Search - worldwide online search of places and addresses
  • My Library - database of user's tracks, routes and points, synced with the web library and other devices
  • Track recording - multi-profile recording of sports activities
