About this APK
Locus Map Free - Outdoor GPS navigation and maps is an app by Klaus Bechtold in the Maps & Navigation category. It includes native code only for x86 32-bit, ARM (legacy), ARM 32-bit and MIPS, so it won't run on 64-bit-only phones such as recent Pixels.
Since version 2.13.1, the APK grew from 9.2 MB to 27.2 MB. Since version 1.8.7, the minimum Android version rose from 1.6 to 4.1. It asks for 27 permissions, 4 of them sensitive, including precise location, record audio and approximate location. Compared with version 3.29.2, it adds 3 new permissions (“Google Play install referrer”, “Modify audio settings” and “Run foreground services”) and drops 5 (“Find accounts on the device”, “Kill background processes”, “Manage accounts” and 2 more). The app offers in-app purchases through Google Play.
