Reviews for Locus Map 4 Outdoor Navigation

Great map application, I've been using the previous version for years and found it absolutely dependable. I appreciate it works with the phone in flight mode, saving battery and preventing most phone distractions, and the absence of any gamification, social network or any addictive features makes it pleasant to use while enjoying the outdoors. The maps include many official hiking and biking routes as well as campings and groceries. Recent addition of cloud sync is a huge plus. Worth every euro.

I've used the previous version for years. I love OSM and I see the value in optimized LoMaps, they render faster and more reliably than the competition. So I'm happy to pay regularly for the effort and infrastructure required to support that. BUT, I am NEVER going to pay a *subscription* to remove ads. It's cheap but it doesn't matter. It represents everything I hate about software. I want to use Locus Map 4 and am willing to pay subscriptions but I will never pay a subscription to remove ads.

Top rate map app that I will use for walking. I have bought the annual subscription because it's so reasonably priced but the free version is very fully featured. It does involve a steep learning curve but well worth making the effort. It's packed with configurable options and extremely powerful. I would like to have an easy way to switch between the standard map and satellite view to help me with route planning, like selecting a shady route.

I only switched from classic version V3 reluctantly, but I have to admit that version V4 is really good. Usage is smoother and the interface more modern.

Maps don't load, unreliable. Some map file sizes are too large to download or function properly. It has too many technical issues to mention, but don't rely on it, it will drop you in it at the worst time.

I've been a locus maps user for over 10 years. They are ending support for the best mapping app of all time (Locus 3 Classic). I paid for that app and spent lots of money on maps. now they are replacing it with a terrible app (Locus 4) that doesn't do anything without a subscription. The locus 4 interface is also worse in every way especially when trying to use it out of signal. There is no way to buy it, only rent. horrible business model. A once good company has gone fully scummy.

auto login through Google is not working for the android mobile app. on and off i keep getting authentication failure popups. with so much of heavy manual setup around offline maps download etc, it is very difficult to uninstall and start from scratch again.

Compared to Locus Map Pro (Classic) this app is a step back in user friendliness. Clunky UI, takes me more taps to go to my tracks as I must first go through main library. Browsing an identical offline map and theme is a lot slower in response. Clearly the upgrade in performance promised and deemed the reason for version 4 is a straight out lie. Features I had available in Pro Classic are now pay walled behind a premium subscription. Still three stars though because feature set is extensive.

Amazing app, has no match. Huge further potential. I'm using it for my business to deliver leaflets and make sure I'm not walking on the same streets twice. I save each path recording in a new track/file. Then, I can display multiple tracks(let's say, for each day of work) to make sure I don't walk there again. You can hide and unhide different tracks as you wish(and colour them differently too), like layers in Photoshop.The interface seems a bit outdated but great app! I bought the pro.

I bought Locus Maps Pro (btw, thank you for a good product), and then it turns out that, for example, the additional function of synchronization with a smart watch that I need is only available in Locus Maps 4. But it is not sold separately, let's get a subscription. Even if you need maps once every half a year. I realize we live in 2021, and subscriptions are popular now, even for some rudimentary notepad. But give at least the option to buy the program as it is, at least without updates.
