Library for Locus Map application for Android devices.
Latest stable LT version: 0.2.25
Versions 3.x are in partial rewrite, so use on own risk (& report issues if found)
Whole API is divided into two separate parts:
- library written in pure Java - Locus API - Core
- its extension for Android devices - Locus API - Android
In most cases, Android version is the only interesting one here.
- main purpose is a transport tool for various objects (points/tracks)
- allows to check state of certain functions like periodic updates, units defined by user and more
- allows to control track recording and partially also navigation features
- allows to handle field notes completely
- allows to generate map preview of a certain area & zoom level
- a replacement for Google Maps API or other map library that substitutes map core to your own application
- a standalone library that may work without Locus Map application
For creating Locus Map add-ons it is needed to handle only Locus API - Android library. Locus API is automatically added as dependency.
Add dependency to your build.gradle module config
dependencies {
// get locus API
compile 'com.asamm:locus-api-android:[latest]'
