About Locus Map
Map of Five Oaks in Locus Map — an export of real OpenStreetMap data for the selected area.
Locus Map is an Android navigator from Czech company Asamm Software, popular with hikers, mountain bikers and geocachers. On osm2cdr we export the map into Locus's own raster .sqlitedb container: we render the chosen area via QGIS into JPEG tiles and store them in SQLite with the Locus schema (a tiles table with x, y, z, s, image columns and an info table with metadata). We honour a Locus quirk — the Y axis is stored in TMS convention, so we apply a y-flip. To be honest: this is a raster offline layer (ready-made images) for zoom levels 10–15, not a vector mapsforge map with switchable themes. The limit is 50,000 tiles per file.
Which layers are in the file
This file for the selected area contains:
- Roads
- Points of interest
Coordinate systems
WGS 84 (EPSG:4326), selectable in the wizard
Units
Meters (projected in the chosen coordinate system)

How to use Locus Map for Five Oaks
- Locus Map 4 or Locus Map Pro (Android) — copy the .sqlitedb into the Locus/maps/ folder in internal storage, restart the app and pick the source under Maps -> Offline.
- A file manager on the phone (Total Commander, Files) or a USB cable — the usual way to put the file into the right folder; on newer Android versions it is easier to grant access to the app's folder through the built-in file browser.
- DB Browser for SQLite (free, Windows/macOS/Linux) — open the file on a computer and make sure the tiles table is filled and info holds the bounds and zoom range.

FAQ: Locus Map for Five Oaks
Is this a vector map with themes like mapsforge?
No. We deliver a raster .sqlitedb container — ready-made JPEG tile images. The style is chosen during server-side rendering; you cannot switch themes on the device as in mapsforge.
Which zoom levels end up in the file?
By default 10–15. The range can be narrowed; the total is capped at 50,000 tiles per file.
Where do I put the file on Android?
In the Locus/maps/ folder of the app storage. On next launch Locus shows the source under Maps → Offline.
Why is a y-flip needed?
Locus stores the Y axis in TMS convention (y=0 in the south), while tiles render in XYZ. We flip Y on write so the map aligns correctly.
How large an area makes sense so I stay within the limit?
The limit is 50,000 tiles per file, and the tile count grows fourfold with every zoom level. A whole city at zooms 10-15 usually fits, an area the size of a large region does not: narrow the zoom range or split the route into several files.
