Locus Map can work with many maps of various kinds. With the Map Manager you can control which maps are available within the app, which maps are active (i.e. visible on the main screen), and which online maps to download for offline use.
By default, it is launched from the main menu:
Select the map you need, tap its title and confirm the terms of its use to display it on the main screen. Some maps are in groups - select the group to unfold and then tap the map. The selected map is highlighted in the Manager and displayed on the main map screen.

Locus Map offers a library of worldwide sources that can be displayed in an overlay above your active map or a direct URL entry to activate any WMS/WMTS source you wish.

If you don't use these expert maps you can deactivate the WMS/WMTS tab in the top bar menu.
These layers contain no map data and serve as background for overlays with other maps that can not be used individually. There are two variants - light and dark (i.e. white and black). Here's an example of the dark variant used together with a cadastral map:
