How does Locus Map 4 differ from Locus Map 3 Classic?

Locus Map 4 is the latest generation of Locus Map. Due to the number of changes and the updated business model compared to the older and still popular Locus Map 3 Classic (formerly PRO), we decided to give users a choice and keep both versions in development. Therefore, there is no automatic update to the newer generation. Instead, Locus Map 3 Classic continues to be updated to ensure error-free operation on new devices as well.

Compared to its predecessor, Locus Map 4 brings a number of improvements, new features, and integration with web services:

Ergonomic user interface

Everything is at your fingertips

  • The function panels have been moved to the bottom of the screen, leaving only the information panel and navigation box at the top.
  • The track or point detail panels also slide out from the bottom.

You can customize all the controls to suit your needs

  • Zoom, centering, content, track recording buttons and all panels can be hidden.
  • You can change the contents of the function panels and the main menu.
  • The entire screen can be flipped sideways for left-handers.
