LoMaps, i.e. Locus vector maps can be re-downloaded, that we can guarantee as we’ve got full control over these data and we store the purchase information. But not other purchases from other providers. In case of data (phone) loss the purchase has to be made again – information about the purchases from other providers nor the purchased data themselves aren’t stored anywhere. We (Asamm Software) buy the map tiles from the provider and sell them. And we must pay for each single tile that is downloaded, therefore if you lose data, we can’t re-download them for you for free.

I mean the Google account from which I downloaded the Locus. Vector maps are associated to that Google account, right? Or how does it work that I am able to re-download them?

But you guarantee payed maps can be re-downloaded, right? At least for vector maps. It is not valid for other payed maps so if I pay for it and lost my phone, I will not be able to re-download the maps I payed for in Locus associated with the same account again?

Hello Indrik, “maps can be re-downloaded again after re-installation from the user account”… do you have any “User account” in Locus Map to store custom-downloaded maps? Unfortunately, not yet. We’re working on it. Until it’s done, you may use Here maps instead of Locus ;). Our current solution is optimized for our current options and background.

Nevertheless, you’ve written nothing new as we wrote about it 1,5 yrs ago here https://www.locusmap.app/locus-map-does-not-run-since-update-device-to-android-4-4-2-kitkat/#solutionB. Anyway, we don’t recommend it in the latest blogpost because of the issue you mention as well – the folder is deleted during uninstall. Of course you are free to choose this method.

Dobrý den,

pokud to hodně zjednodušíme, file manager je pouze prostředek, který ke kopírování na kartu využívá přímo uživatel. Narozdíl od toho např. vytváření SQLitedb databáze mapy při stahování z online módu je operace čistě v režii aplikace samotné. Nicméně problematika je mnohem složitější, další info (v angličtině) získáte zde: http://www.chainfire.eu/articles/113/Is_Google_blocking_apps_writing_to_SD_cards_/ nebo zde: http://www.gottabemobile.com/2014/02/22/samsung-galaxy-s4-note-3-android-4-4-problem-hits-micro-sd-card/
