I have a set of ESRI SHP files which contain shapes or polygons (some areas, like forest for example). They have names on top of them. The final objective is to put these shapes on top of a Topographical map, in any sort of Android program wich GPS support (and map support).
I chose Locus, because I like it the best.
I have found that I can convert SHP to KML, but Locus treats them as Tracks (with start and end point, as lines). I would prefer closed polygons with names, not Track type. Is there any solution? Maybe another approach or format?
Maybe I could merge the SHP files on top of some kind of map in the PC, and then import the map into Locus? I have no idea how to do that and where to start.
Maybe using Osmosis and Mapwriter I could combine the SHP as some kind of part of the map? Other ideas?
