Hi All,
This is still under development, I have developed a specialised XML config that will make "Locus Maps" load very high quality Digital Topographic Maps from publicly available online map sources and some of these scale down to 10K -- which is extremely high detail.
e.g.
Just a couple of notes before we start, this will not work with Apple Ipads or Iphones, and it's for Android phone and tablets only and it will need a paid for version of "Locus Map Pro" which can be obtained from the Google Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=menion.android.locus.pro&hl=en and that is selling for $10.99 at this moment: BTW I don't profit in anyway from anyone purchasing Locus Maps etc .. it's all up to yourself, and if you do fork out the $10.99 and none of this works for you, well it ain't my fault. This will take some skill, to make it work, and that would be copying a downloaded file to directory on you tablet or phone, and restarting "Locus Map Pro" application, or even totally restarting the phone or tablet.
If your O.K. with the all above, and don't mind getting a little technically involved with your tablet or phone -- let begin
What should this look like when it's installed -- and Remember this is for Online Maps
On a phone you should see sources looking this or
A Tablet looking like this -- Yes you can offline the Maps
And a sneak preview of what the maps look like
Enjoy and please do give some feed back.
Cheers

e.g.
- Qtopo maps from Queensland Gov
- Topographic Six maps from NSW Gov
- Topographic Vicmaps
- Topographic Tasmania
- SA -- plus some sources for WA and NT
- 250K Topo maps of all of Australia
- plus some other interesting sources

- Download Australian-Locus-maps.xml file from https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1XU3lBW7QxJ7mM7teLL4arWeJqAd50coi , you can either do that on your phone/tablet or PC (that's the file that I have created)
- This is after a install of "Locus Maps Pro", and confirmed that it is working, copy the file to /storage/emulated/0/Locus/mapsOnline/custom/ on your Phone or tablet.
- Restart the "Locus Maps Pro" -- Might have to totally restart your phone --
