Stále více fanoušků outdooru využívá možnosti propojení jejich oblíbené turistické navigace v mobilu s chytrými hodinkami. Bohužel, platforem pro tyto hodinky je nepřeberné množství a každá potřebuje svůj vlastní add-on pro komunikaci s Locusem, běžícím na mobilu nebo tabletu. Již jsme uvedli na trh doplněk Locus Map Watch pro zařízení s operačním systémem Android Wear/Wear OS a pro hodinky Samsung, pracující s operačním systémem Tizen.
A nyní konečně přichází dlouho očekávaný výsledek naší spolupráce s kolegy z Wearsoftu – add-on pro Garmin!
Co všechno to umí?
Navigovat…
Vyberte si cíl výletu v Locusu. Naplánujte si vlastní trasu pohodlně na velkém displeji chytrého telefonu nebo ji importujte z GPSies. Spusťte navigaci – hlavní proces běží v Locusu v mobilu, který máte v batohu, navigační instrukce vidíte ve vašem Garminu.
Návádět na kešky…
Lovíte rádi poklady? Vyberte si kešku na mapě a spusťte navádění k ní. Váš Garmin vás dovede až na místo.
Plánujte trasu v Locusu, exportujte ji do Garminu…
…a nechte mobil doma! Užijte si alespoň na chvíli ten pocit svobody bez telefonu a vyrazte na projížďku jen s Garminem na zápěstí! (Ne všechny Garminy ovšem podporují import tras).
Sledujte záznam trasy v Locusu…
Oblíbili jste si záznam trasy v Locusu se všemi možnostmi nastavení a profily záznamu? Můžete jej spustit a sledovat přímo na vašem Garminu. Když máte po výletě, hned jej exportujte přímo do Garmin Connect. Nebo, pokud přeci jen máte raději záznam aktivity přímo v Garminu, spusťte ten. Zároveň můžete využít navigaci Locusem.
Jak to funguje?
Abyste si mohli všechny tyhle vychytávky užít, nainstalujte si doplněk Locus Map for Garmin do vašeho mobilu nebo tabletu s Androidem 4.1 a vyšším:
Stáhnout Locus Map for Garmin >>
Když doplněk spustíte, postará se sám o všechno ostatní, co je potřeba:
- outdoorová navigace Locus Map (pokud ještě není nainstalovaná)
- aplikace Garmin Connect Mobile pro Android
- aplikace Locus Map z obchodu Garmin Connect IQ instalovaná na vašich hodinkách
Bude to fungovat na mojem Garminu?
Garmin vyrábí široké portfolio zařízení s mnoha úrovněmi výbavy a funkcionality. Locus Map for Garmin je kompatibilní se spoustou z nich a o řadě dalších se ještě uvažuje.
Mrkněte na seznam podporovaných Garminů >>
Kolik to stojí?
Stáhněte a nainstalujte si Locus Map for Garmin zdarma – můžete jej vyzkoušet v tzv. Preview režimu. Pokud chcete odemknout všechny jeho funkce, zajděte do Locus Obchodu (součást Android aplikace Locus Map) a kupte si balíček Premium funkcí za cca 100 Kč.

Ich finde die App sehr toll, nur bin ich leider kein Fan von Android. Kommt in naher Zukunft die App auch für IOS oder sogar für Windows?
Hi Heinz,
not in the near future. So far both Locus Map and the Garmin add-on are developed for Android only.
Mam kúpený Locus pro aj Locus Map for Garmin, ale pred nedávnom my moje hodinky Garmin prestali zobrazovať mapu. Predpokladám že po nejakej aktualizácii.
Zdravím, je nějaké šance, že půjdou na Garminu zobrazit i mapy, tak jako Android/Tizenu? Díky
Ahoj Michale, nějaké šance jsou, ale zatím nemůžeme nic slibovat. ;) Na této platformě je něco podobného hodně velká výzva.. Honza - WearSoft
Presne na tuhle vychytavku jsem cekal. Uz mam koupeno a tesim se az bude podpora i Garmin Fenix 3. Predem diky.
Exactly on this gadget I waited. I bought it and I am looking forward to the support of Garmin Fenix 3. Thanks in advance.
No support of the epix watch?
Hi Manfred, unfortunately Garmin doesn't support this device anymore and left there really old Connect IQ platform version, which is not capable to run such application. Jan - WearSoft
No support for amazfit bip?
Hi Maksim,
unfortunately, no. Just Android Wear/Wear OS, Tizen, and Garmin watch. We have no more resources for creating and maintaining more wearable platforms. Sorry about that.
This is a great app!
I have a Fenix 3. So, please, support this watch, too!
Thanks!
Ahoj. Bude prosím možnost exportovat trasu do Garmin Connect? Tak jako je to nyní třeba do Strava nebo RunKeeper. Děkuji.
Dobrý den,
trasy, které zaznamenáte prostřednictvím Garmin doplňku a Locusuu můžete pak z hodinek exportovat do Connectu.
Dobrý den. Myslel jsem trasy zaznamenané pouze v Locus (jestli přibude v možnostech exportu trasy Garmin Connect, tak jako je např. teď Strava). Děkuji
Great app!
Could you also add an activity download? I would like to download activities recorded on the watch to locus. Garmin connect only allows that with available internet. Locus could make the watch truly offline capable.
Hi Raimund, thanks for the suggestion! Direct download of activity is not easy and require direct partnership with Garmin folks. It is currently not in our plan, but we will see what future brings. :)
what about garmin 230 ? are you planing to support it ? i would love ty o buy it.
Hi Tomasz, we would like to have support of this device also, but unfortunately it doesn't have enough resources to run such app. However, we didn't give up yet to try to fit it here, but so far there aren't big changes that we will succeed.
Couldn´t find the Garmin TAXTIX Charly on the List. Is the Watch also supported?
Hello,
tactix® Charlie is also supported - we just forgot to add it to our compatibility list. Thanks for your question! Jan (WearSoft)
This works well for sending courses to my Forerunner 945.
it would be nice to have away to send a course directly to a Garmin GPS such as their edge series. I know I can export a route and then bring it into Garmin connect but it would be nice to do this directly in one step
Hi Jerry, we have lots of plans with Locus Map on Garmin for the future and bring its compatibility with Edge and non-watch outdoor GPS devices is one of them. So stay tuned! :) Jan (WearSoft)
nice, but it doesn't work without phone. It says "Please connect your Garmin with phone first."
Hi Michal, yes the app require connected mobile phone with Locus Map outdoor navigation app (phone can be offline though). But you can use Locus Map in Garmin also to quickly import course to your watch and navigate yourself even without phone after that (if you have supported model). Jan - WearSoft
thanks, I have supported model based on your list. Forerunner 935. I connect my phone with my watch, I send course to the watch, It works, but when I disconnect my phone, It says : connect phone.
Dobrý den, píšete že podpora Garminů Fenix 3 je plánovaná. Má ten plán svůj termín? Děkuji
Dobrý den, podpora Fenix 3 byla bohužel opožděna z důvodu aktuálního problému na straně Garminu, jež "omylem" zablokoval komunikaci pro aplikace komunikující mezi Garmin zařízením a Androidem 9. Pevně věříme, že řešení se dočkáme do konce tohoto měsíce a tedy i vy podpory Locus Map pro vaše zařízení.
Jan - WearSoft
Hi Jan,
I just discovered your software linking Locus to Garmin. Please please do develop a software for the Garmin Fenix 3 HR. I would happily pay a few Euros for the promise of a few good features!! And I'd be happy to be a Beta user. Please include me in your mailing list for this! You rock!
Thanks
Hello Chris,
version for Fenix 3 is almost finished, but we have to wait until Garmin fix their recent problem which broke Locus Map on Android 9 completely. Unfortunately they didn't confirmed yet date of fix. Please follow our FB for more updates regarding this topic: https://www.facebook.com/wearsoft.info/
You can also follow technical discussion with Garmin team on this topic and vote to increase its priority for them here if you want: https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/i/bug-reports/connect-version-4-20-broke-local-http-access

Hallo
Ich finde es nicht gut das mir ein Produkt verkauft wird
das nicht funktioniert.(Locus Map für Garmin)
In der Beschreibung wird alles toll dargestellt ,nach dem bezahlen und
der installation heist es mit version 4.20 funktioniert es nicht.
Dieses manko hätten sie auch vorher erwähnen können und das Produkt erst auf den Markt bringen wenn es dann auch läuft.
Gruß Armin
Dear Armin,
as I wrote in reply to your email, we are very sad about this issue. The app indeed worked when we bring it to app store. Actually it works for everyone even now if Android 9 users downgrade their Garmin Connect Mobile to version 4.19. The current issue is caused by Garmin and it damage also lots of other apps on their Connect IQ store. We are in touch with them, but they are not able to commit to any date when the issue will be solved on their side yet and unfortunately we are unable to create workaround on our side.
Please follow our FB: https://www.facebook.com/wearsoft.info/ to get updates regarding this issue. We tried to put the notice almost everywhere for new users, so we are surprised that you missed it and will review them again.
I hope you will be able to enjoy the app without any unnecessary steps soon.
Jan - WearSoft
Hi Armin, we understand your being upset as this situation, caused by Garmin, is unfair both to you and us, developers. New update for Locus Map for Garmin issue:
Garmin released GCM version 4.21 which ... solved nothing. Garmin Connect IQ team still doesn't know when the issue will be solved and we eagerly waiting for new info from them. With the application, we targeted this summer-time and planned some very interesting updates to the app including adding compatibility to even more devices (incl. Fenix 3). But all this have to wait until the problem will be solved on Garmin side. On another side, we want to thank most of our users for the understanding of the situation and that you are willing to downgrade your Garmin Connect app (which is the only way how to make Locus Map for Garmin to work on Android 9 now).
Very interesting! I take it the Forerunner 235 will never be supported. Wished I brought the 245 instead now!
Hello, unfortunately the map display does not work on the Garmin Venu. Only one grid is displayed.
Hi Ralf, please contact our support team at https://help.locusmap.eu/ticket/add and send screenshots, version of the Android and precise description how you get to the issue. Thanks!

Great Post!
Thank you for sharing this amazing post with us. Keep sharing your blogs with us. Your GPS tracks your health 24/7 with superior sensors. Tune in to your body, and tone up with a smartwatch that can track it all and help you achieve your health and fitness goals. Last month I purchased a Garmin smartwatch from Synced By District and my experience was great.
Your Blog is really great and I would really appreciate your hard work and I want to thank u for sharing such great information.
Hello, I have a Locus Pro Gold subscription and I have installed LocusMaps for Garmin on my Garmin Vivoactive 4s. Before I had Garmin, I was LocusMaps on my Samsung and it was working perfectly, both tracking and uploading the map to Locus' recorded maps. However, with LocusMap for Garmin app on my Garmin watch, even though the activity was saved, it is not uploading to the recorded folder and I can not find it anywhere. Can someone help me how to fix/troubleshoot this?
Thanks,
Sateesh
Hi Sateesh, Locus Map for Garmin works a bit differently than Locus Map Watch addon for Samsung. The Garmin version only displays the stats of a track being recorded within Locus Map running on the phone - it is not possible to control the recording from the watch. As for the map - it used to be displayed on the watch screen but due to a change in Garmnin API it is no longer possible. Garmin actively forbids displaying of any third party maps on its watches. We are very sorry for that but there's no help.
