The point being that map costs are negligible. Some tiny countries (eg Solomon Islands) cost only about 5 coins. 100 coins cost me $A1.45, and a typical map of say Italy might cost 30 or 50 of these ‘coins’. You can buy more maps using Locus ‘coins’ (nothing like bitcoin, just accounting tokens which are non-tradeable and useless anywhere else).

The free version of Locus Map gives you 3 free maps. You have to pay an extra ($5.99) for OsmAnd contour overlays, but contours/topo information is free in Locus Map Pro.īoth apps show routes for many well-known walks eg Via Francigena, the various Ways of St James (Europe) the INT and Jerusalem Trail in Israel (my current project country).

OSM maps are usually excellent, often amazingly so. īoth Locus Map and OsmAnd use OpenStreetMaps (OSM) as their underlying map source, which is why the maps are so cheap. I got a bit carried away with my quickie review.

There is also some web chatter that you can't use Google Offline maps to actually navigate a walking route, but that may be rubbish. And I prefer not to use Google Offline maps as a workaround. It saves a huge amount of work, but as I said earlier, Google no longer allows free conversion to any other format for export to other apps.

The other big plus of Google Maps for my routes is that a surprising amount is available in Street View, which enables a 'virtual walk' through many sections. It is remarkably accurate for the few Israel routes I have created so far - and I can easily 'drag' the route to fix minor anomalies. Google Maps automatically generates all the WPs and associated nav instructions for a walking route. The big advantage of plain vanilla Google Maps is that I can create a walking route from A to B by simply inputting A and B. It is good, but for a brand new route (ie no downloadable WPs or tracks available) you have to manually place all your waypoints (WP) to create your map, adding nav instructions if desired at each WP. Simply upload this file into your devices OsmAnd tracks folder.I had a quick look at MyMaps. If all is right you'll find My_places.obf into your workdir folder.

Load my_places.osm (File/Select osm file…).

Select the work dir (File/Specify working directory…).

Deselect all choices except Build POI Index as shown:.

The conversion will be done using OsmAndMapCreator. Now you are ready to perform the final step. If your POI belongs to different categories, I suggest you create multiple OSM files and create OsmAnd OBF files and merge them together later with OsmAndMapCreator, or create multiple OBF files. The created_by= option with missing value means that the properties will be ignored. The syntax is very simple, and GPS Babel has an interface to create the syntax for you: $ gpsbabel -i kml -f my_places.kml -o osm,tagnd="tourism:museum",created_by -F my_places.osmĪll points inside the KML file are converted into OSM points, assigning them some properties like tourism category and museum type.

It is very useful to convert waypoints, tracks, and routes between popular GPS receivers and mapping programs. To perform this task we need to use gpsbabel. Converting KML (or Other Formats) into the OSM Format

During import process file will be transformed into GPX and later will be treated as OsmAnd GPX. OsmAnd doesn't support KML natively but OsmAnd can import some of them. You may use any format containing your POIs, if you are able to convert it to OSM format. Maybe you can convert it directly to OSM.

When you have a different format you can use QGIS or other opensource software to convert to KML format. From GE you can save the folder in KML format. In GoogleEarth (GE) you can add you own Placemarks on the map and collect them into a folder.
