Hi all.
I have the vector download addon for Locus but there is a hiking and biking map on OSM which shows countryside paths and routes etc.
It can be seen on this site.... http://hikebikemap.de/ (http://hikebikemap.de/)
Does anyone know of a way I can download the 'hike and bike map' for Great Britain/England please as I prefer it over the one that Locus downloads with the vector plugin.
MANY thanks.
vector download addon is for offlinemaps.
the great hike&bike maps are onlinemaps.
Thanks gynta
I understand that.
But is there no way of downloading from any other way the hike&bike map?
use download in the mapmenu
it wont allow it and there is no way to put in the website address to get Locus to look at it.
show the hike&bike map
(maybe first have to install https://market.android.com/details?id=c ... usmaptweak (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mjk.locusmaptweak))
then u can select download in the mapmanager.
many thanks gynta.
I have that plugin already installed.
The problem is... how do I get Locus to look at the link for hike&bike I provided?
I tried to download the 'hiking' map that is listed in Locus but a error came up telling me the map hoster will not allow downloads.
As for that hike&bike map - I have no idea how to even view it in Locus :-(
Quote from: "phoneguy100"..that is listed in Locus...
where you can see that?
that is in the maps section under the online tab, the map is 'OSM - regional openhikingmap' but the download function will not allow downloading for offline use which is why I want to somehow grab that bike&hike OSM map.
the downloadlimit is 10.000 Tiles / day
many many thanks gynta. How did you get the hike&bike map into Locus?
?
i select the map :)
How?
I only have the openhiking map in Locus and have no idea how to get that bike&hike map into Locus.
All I know is that the bike&hike map is a URL on my PC - It does not show in Locus and I have no idea how to get it to show like you have,
Thanks for all your help but I am stuck now. lol
Your Version of Locus is?
Is the map in the setting enabled?
settings/map/online maps
excellent - thanks gynta....
I have Locus Pro and its the up to date version. 1.15.5
I feel daft now - I didnt realise I had to tick box it in the settings - cheers :D
So, I can zoom out and select an area to download that is 10 tiles big per day. I do that over the space of a week and I should be able to store that map for offline use? Am I right?
:roll:
a whole country?
i dont use it so exzessive.
for that i use MobAC1.8 on PC to create *.sqlitedb
btw.
1.16.1 is the actual version,
Yeah, I never know where I will be hiking. I have a 350mb Vector map of the whole of England and although the bike&hike does not seem to be a vector I would still like it for England.
I will take a look at MobAC1.8 - many thanks for that.
As for the version number - 1.15.5 seems to be the most recent Pro in the Android Market for me.
You have been a great help and I appreciate it greatly.
Many thanks.
Version numbers don't always show up correctly in the market.
Please cross-check hitting:
-> menu
-> locus
-> info about the app
The great hike&bike maps are onlinemaps i think.
