Who we are
We are a bunch of people enthusiastic about programming, and inventing new things, and we like being active outdoors – on foot or by bike. Locus Map is simply a product naturally resulting from a combination of our hobbies and interests.
Our team’s priority is active, open communication both with users of our applications and within the company. It is this openness that is largely behind the success of Locus Map, which is now used by over a million satisfied users. And in cases that sometimes surprise even ourselves. 🙂
We are a small team with big plans but we don’t chase numbers. We’re all about feeling good about products that make sense and can change the world for the better.
A bit of history
Jirka Mlavec a.k.a Menion started programming mapping apps during the first decade of this millennium. One of his products, Locus (without the ‘Map’ suffix at that time) looked especially promising. And eventually, in 2012, it became one of the most favorite outdoor navigations among hikers, bikers, and geocachers. More and more features, a growing user community, and a bulging app environment resulted in the team’s growth around its founder. Nowadays our team consists of 10+ members and it seems more will be needed soon…
