Locus Map Tutorial

How to use the Locus Map Pro app for Android smartphone to plan routes with elevation profiles when offline.

I've used this app for a few years now and helped several other tourers to set it up for offline navigation. There are a few steps to go through, which can be a bit intimidating at first, but once it's set up it's surpisingly easy to use Locus Pro to navigate and plan routes completely offline.

NB - I don't talk about it in the video, but Locus also can be used to record your route as you travel in offline mode, and later export to e.g. Strava etc, if that's your thing.

Steps in the video:
1.Install the Locus Pro app 01:12
2. Download free OSM maps from OpenAndroMap.org
(optional - change Locus offline map directory)
3. Install BRouter offline navigation plug-in app
4. Download BRouter navigation tiles
5. Make long 'dummy route' in RideWithGPS.com and import to Locus
6. Update elevation data for long 'dummy route' in Locus
7. Customisation tips
8. Splitting and merging GPX tracks in Locus Pro
