This is a fantastic companion for the smartphone app. Gives you the relevant information and functionality (map, position, track, record) and no fluff.

Locus maps is great for the outdoors. I love the fact that I can use it on my watch, rather than constantly having to take the phone out of the pocket to check if I am still on the trail.

The smartphone app is wonderful, so I don't understand why the smartwatch app is so inadequate. I used it since my first smartwatch (Tizen), at the time it seemed wonderful. Many years has passed and nothing changed, this one is identical to the old Tizen app. In the forum there are plenty of suggestions, but it seems there is no interest in improving this app. Modern smartwatches have barometric altimeter and compass but these sensor aren't used at all. It's a real shame.

This app is the reason I subscribed to Locus. Unrivaled in the app store! Please don't abandon this app ..

Working on my Galaxy Watch 4. Would be nice to be able to layer heart rate or some other metric over the navigation or have navigation commands pop up regardless of what screen is being used like komoot does.

I've used locus map on my Android devices for a few years now and I installed this on my new Pixel Watch. Done several hikes and it runs really well, following and recording tracks.

Fails to record tracks. I start recording a track, put phone in my pocket, look at phone half an hour later only to realize it hasn't been tracking at all. It just reacquires a new GPS fix and draws a straight line. I've read forums of people reporting this problem going back years with no concrete fix. I've tried every suggestion I can find. The fact that this is still happening tells me this app will never work properly. Too bad.....I definitely would have paid for the premium version.

App is kinda okay, but what frustrates is how you install this thing! No instruction how to do it, other wearOS apps install directly to your watch and nothing more has to be done. Here instructions if you dont see app on watch after install: - Install this (it goes to your phone, you just can't see it) - in your paired watch find 'Google Play Store', open it and find menu 'Apps on your phone' - Look up for 'Locus map watch' tap it and you should find 'Install' button, tap it and thats all
