Thanks a lot for your answer - but I think you misunderstood. Why download?
The files I want to use are of higher resolution.

Hi there,

I've got a question, there is quite high-resolution elevation data available for Austria, and I managed to get it loaded in GlobalMapper (see screenshot for a difference between existing hgt files I have vs the high-resolution ones).

As I have no experience with GIS whatsoever I wanted to ask:

1. Are there benefits to using these in Locus, or does it have its own limitation regarding resolution? (e.g. for the slope shading)
2. Can anyone tell me how this should be exported to be usable? I can apparently export it in SRTM 1" and 3" .hgt files which makes me wonder if this reduces that resolution or if it keeps it?

Maybe someone familiar with all this GIS magic can help me.

Thanks a lot,
Christoph

Ah.. too bad

Thanks for the help though!

[edit1]

Thank you I will try it!
How far (scale) should I be able to zoom in? Previously after a scale of 2km it showed only black with the hiking paths

It didn't work, same as before..

edit2
any idea? I need it on the weekend..

Thanks a lot Petr, I have just sent you the details.

Could you maybe add some kind of warning to the "remove" button so people know that they have to re-purchase the map?
It's misleading as usually with the play store and most in-app purchases you keep what you have purchased once.

I clicked remove, in order to re-download it as it was not working, and now I have to pay again?
There was no mention or warning

I tried both - is there a difference?
Can I "remove" and add the map again to refresh it or so?

As mentioned it's "interlaken", which is basically in the middle of switzerland..

Hi there,

Not sure if this is a bug but if I zoom into downloaded swiss topo maps the max zoom level it displays correctly (interlaken area) is up to scale 2km. If I then zoom in, most tiles are missing.

I assume that this is not normal?

would be a nice feature!

Also ich kann mich ueber OSM bei uns nicht beklagen .. hatte da noch nie Probleme, vorallem mit der openandromap ziemlich gut.

Dieses arrogante Auftreten gehört definitiv nicht unterstützt.
Ein Jahr OutdoorActive ist teurer als Locus Maps Pro.

Meine Meinung, kann aber jeder halten wie er will.

Von Locus? Oder von Outdooractive?

Naja also zumindest wie jemand bereits gesagt hat, wenn ich fuer etwas zahle, erwarte ich eine aktuelle Karte.
Das kann unter umstaenden zu ziemlichen Problemen fuehren.

Die sind ja auch alle verfuegbar und in Locus integriert. Alpstein ist die Firma hinter outdooractive und zur aktualitaet siehe den Blogpost von alpstein.

So einfach ists trotzdem nicht - teilweise auch weil das Internet eben so funktioniert, zum Beispiel gabs da einige Probleme in die Richtung weil die Anbieter wie Zeitungen den Kontext der Inhalte bestimmen wollen. Also besser davon absehen solche Ratschlaege weiterzugeben.
