PREVIEW/PREMIUM MODE
After installation, the app runs in a “Preview mode”. Full-featured Premium version can be purchased in Locus Store (within Locus Map app) for about 4 EUR. You can test all main features compatible with your Garmin before purchase to see whether the app behaves correctly with your Android phone and Garmin combination.
By unlocking Premium mode, you will get:
- removed Preview Mode overlays
- no Preview mode splash screen
- vibration alerts before navigation events
- dynamic screen manager (hides unused screens etc.)
- and more
To use the app, you must install:
- this Android communication app, through which you can install all rest. After the initial setup, you don’t need to open this application again as it runs in the background when required.
- Locus Map outdoor navigation app (either Free or Pro - doesn't matter for usage with Garmin)
- Locus Map for Garmin Connect IQ app ( https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/f15dd655-e734-456e-b8f5-314d287df4a4 )

I open the app on my phone and it says that it is connected to my Garmin Forerunner but nothing shows on my watch. Still trying to troubleshoot the problem, unsuccessfully. The phone app appears to work well. I purchased the pro thinking it might solve my problem, but no such luck.
Works ok on my vivoactive 3 though heartrate data does not record along with speed and position in locus maps. Also the trial nag covers too much of the screen and its annoying how it comes and goes seemingly at random id prefer it,just stays put
Great app that adds detailed maps to my otherwise map less Garmin fenix 5. And has much more detailed maps than is included on the fenix 5 plus. I had this on a fenix 3 before, worked in that too.
After activities, i cannot quit application. It hanges for a while, then i need to press turn off device.
Works great. Use this to show locus routes and guidance on my fenix watch. Very simple to use.
This app won't connect to my Garmin 6x Pro Saphire. Works fine on my Samsung though!
It's free but a little buggy.
Waiting for update, so it may work with the latest Garmin Connect version
I purchase yesterday the full version but still in preview mode
As of Dec 20th 2021, it is still not compatible with Descent MK2s
Dears, your support was truly fast yet the problem was not resolved but only compensated with the options I provided you,eventually showing only directions through the app and not been able to record.This is half of the app utilisation for me , and I have almost the half rating.I didn't ask for half refund though (haha) but indeed since you were up to the issue I could give another star and make it three. If there are prerequisites like memory availability(as I feed backed you on for this) or anything else this is something that someone should know before paying an app that promises , even partial, compatibility.
