Oruxmaps Download ((FREE)) Maps

If you want to see all of your waypoints, you can go to Waypoint >Manage. From this page you can change the properties, delete and export the waypoint. To see all of your waypoints in map, select the waypoints and go to show in map (1) and if you want to export your waypoints press Export (2). All of your exported waypoints will be stored in internal storage (by the default it stored in oruxmaps/geocaches).

It can display OpenStreetMap maps (raster tiles and vector maps from Mapsforge) and has tracking and waypoint recording features making it suitable for gathering data. It can use offline vector maps or display map tiles online or pre-downloaded from a variety of sources. OruxMaps can also use SRTM elevation data to display 3D views of maps.

On the Mapsforge project page there is plug-in for Osmosis that allows to compile vector maps from OSM data for offline usage. Meanwhile many vector maps are readily available for download and the use of online sources is discouraged.

Vector maps (.map) should be installed on the sd card in the folder /sdcard/oruxmaps/mapfiles. The vector maps now come with additional style files that should be also installed. You can also create subfolders to organize the maps. In the map dialog you can then go to offline maps and chose you map.

Ready to go topographic maps for outdoor activities are available here 4UMaps DownloadSimply copy the files into the /oruxmaps/mapfiles folder on the sd card, and select offline map from the main menu.

Hello everyone, I am really new to the world of qgis but since I use maps a lot during my treka, I would need help exporting mappers that are compatible with Oruxmaps or Locusmaps, two apps that I often use to view maps offline during my treks.

In addition I have added the OE.kml (from the summit page of sotl.as or from sotamaps.org as map overlay to that I have all OE summits show up on the map directly.

In Oruxmaps this kml needs to be saved in

/oruxmaps/overlay/ and selected from map overlays.

Actually, these are somewhat distant memories that date back to when I was using a Gps Garmin. I believe these maps match with the Garmin format that Oruxmaps knows how to import. That being said, it does not matter since I can recreate them quite easily with locus download tools. Question of time and patience

With this intent I installed JOSM in my PC, and following the instructions I tried to download a portion of the map to understand how to insert my tracks. Unfortunately I ran aground instantly because what I get from the downloaded map does not even remotely resemble the visible map on Oruxmaps.

Oruxmaps seems to be a viewer for many different sets of map data, so one would need to know which particular map is in use. It is possible that there is a tile server for that map which could produced a background for JOSM.

OruxMaps is one of the most popular applications for off-line maps - ie maps that can be downloaded to the smartphone or tablet, and the used even without any data connection. Let's see together how easy it is to use the application and the maps. (Included is a video demonstration.)

Using OruxMaps is easy. We focus here only on some special features that may not be entirely obvious. At the beginning select Map online - and you can see some default map. This can be changed via the menu - using an item with a picture of globe. If you select New Map, you can choose from maps, which are supported by OruxMaps - for example Google Maps, Microsoft Maps, OpenStreetMap and others. Number of supported map sources changes often.

Once you select the appropriate source of maps (various sources may be appropriate for various places of the world and also for various activities - some maps are good for driving, some maps are good for biking and hiking), you can work with them online or choose a part of the map to download for later use.

Check the number of layers you want to download - for example 13, 14, 15, fill in some name of the map and tap Download. The map will start downloading. And that's it. Once downloaded, you can go back to the map. Whenever you need to use the downloaded maps off-line, just choose Select maps offline after starting OruxMaps - in the main menu. Then you can choose the desired map from the list of maps that you have downloaded. And the map is really available off-line - you don't need any active data connection.

You can download the map for later use by Wi-Fi, so you don't have to pay for any data transfers. So if you want to save your money and need to use maps then OruxMaps may be the right choice for you. (There are more apps able to download maps - even Google Maps for Android is able to do it, but at the time of writing of this article it is just a beta function and the number of downloaded maps is limited. Note: AskMaps.com is not OruxMaps author or owner, we just recommend it.)

Most of the maps for printing or for mobile devices are based on OpenStreetMap or Google Maps - even links to them you can find here. You can not only see your destination, any interesting place in the world, on your computer, but also you can see what information these maps provide. Often, for example, there are links to accommodation, car rental, city guides and other tourist information. Happy journey!

@aracer, yeah I was hoping there might be some magic that could be done to convert the streetmap URLs into one that Oruxmaps understands (I think it only works with the X, Y, and Zoom params or a single encoded Q value like the bing OS url). I managed to find an old post regarding your algorithm for calculating the obfuscated url param (good sk1llz btw!) to allow you to grab image tiles. I may experiment when I have some spare time on my hands (any additional hints you should wish to email over would be greatly appreciated!)

Apart from the fact that Maps complains about missing GPS and the recorded track in Oruxmaps jumps directly whenever I switch on the display, everything is working find.

Whenever I actually use GPS, it finds its satellites quickly enough and the precision is absolutely fine.

Most Android devices come with Google Maps pre-installed.Although you could use this, its usefulness for walking outside cities islimited as Google's maps currently lack most of the countryside footpathsthat are used by walkers.

In order to see such paths it is necessary to have an applicationthat is capable of displaying maps that contain these paths.There are many available on theGoogle Play store,including several very good ones.

Traditionally, walkers in the UK have used maps produced byOrdnance Surveywith the 1:25000 "Explorer" maps being particularly useful.There are copyright issues with using these maps that means theyare no longer available to mapping apps such as OruxMaps (as of mid 2013).A variety of other maps are accessible by OruxMaps including both onlineand offline maps.

Online maps require a data connection to retrieve map "tiles" on-the-fly overthe internet. This can be unsuitable if you are walking in an area with nosignal, or if data is expensive to retrieve (e.g. if you are roaming).Although you can overcome this to some extent by pre-loading the maps,offline maps are recommended.

Offline maps are maps that have been loaded onto your device before venturingoutdoors.You need only load maps for an entire country once and then forget about it(although you might update it once or twice each year).

A good source of free maps is theOpenStreetMap project.These maps arecrowd-sourcedand although they do not currently include all footpaths more are being addedon a regular basis. In some places, they are now betteraand more accurate than OS maps.There are some web-sites that take the OpenStreetMap data and enhance it insome way. One such site that is a good source for maps isOpenAndroMaps.

Another theme is Voluntary UK which looks a bit like an OS Landranger map. You'll have to download it manually, though, on to your PC. Scroll dwon that page and look for Voluntary_Atlas.zip. Download, then unzip it. Then drag and drop the folder on to your Android device (connect it with the USB cable) into the mapstyles folder

These files can be placed on the Android device in the directory.../oruxmaps/tracklogs - you might want to create sub-directories of thisdirectory to make the route files easier to find (e.g. by country or region).

You can not use the map page for navigation but you can run an app like orux maps or both are, I think, available on google play. They both have the option of off line navigation and map storage. note they will both use OSM map data and, i think, other sources as well as a choice. You may have to run a gps fix app as well you will have to read orux or osmand instructions to check this. -menu.html _en.html

Does anyone know what format of raster images works with Orux Maps? I tried to export maps acc to Orux Maps specs from ArcGIS 10.1 in every possible format (Geotiff, GRID, jpeg2000...), loaded with a .tfw file and it always displayed a colorless tile.

The easiest way to use smartphone for navigating is to use online maps. Maps used in web browser, such as www.excursionmap.fi or www.mapsite.fi are great. Both of these free services you can use both in Finnish and in English, and they give you great topographic maps, and they show your own location.

National Land Survey of Finland (the institution behind MapSite.fi) opened its map data in 2012. That was a huge leap: from there on it has been free for anyone to use their accurate topographic maps in magazine articles, blogs, books, smartphone applications and so on. ff782bc1db
