Our verdict on Locus Map
Locus Map is an outdoor mapping and navigation app for activities such as hiking, cycling, skiing and geocaching. It combines downloadable maps with offline route planning, navigation and GPS track recording, making it a fit for people who want route tools and map access away from a connection. LoMaps use OpenStreetMap data and are available in country- or region-sized packages worldwide. The app also supports offline address and point-of-interest search, while map themes cover hiking, cycling and winter use.
Its route tools go beyond drawing a line: users can plan routes and view elevation profiles, surfaces and route types, and can import routes and geocaches for offline use. GPS tracks can be recorded, shared and exported. The product also connects with Strava, Garmin, Wear OS and Tizen. Android offers a broader feature set than Locus Map Lite for iOS, so buyers on Apple devices should weigh that difference; web services cover route planning and a library, but the main app experience is mobile.
Locus Map has a free plan, with Silver listed at €1.40 per month or €10 per year, and Gold at €3 per month or €24 per year. One-time purchases are also available, and the vendor says premium pricing varies by purchase option. For outdoor users who need offline maps, searchable places and track tools, the free option and subscriptions provide a low-cost entry point. Those seeking parity across Android and iOS, or a general-purpose maps app rather than outdoor planning, may prefer another option.
