You need to select the map source to match one of those supported by IpBike this is the second option on the left hand panel. You can reset this selection and start a new atlas with the atlas - new atlas menu option. The first time you start it you need to select the atlas format there are 3 Osmdroid options zip, GEMF and SQLite I recommend the GEMF format especially if you want to do a big atlas as it is far quicker to load on the device and the size is similar for all the options. To start mobile atlas creator double click the Mobile Atlas Creator.exe. You need to unzip the downloaded file to where you want it installed. There is a download link for the latest version on the home page, as of writing this it is version 1.9.7 You will need a Java run-time but most people will already have a suitable one. Mobile Atlas Creator needs to be installed on a pc. These are instructions to guide you though the process, I will assume windows but it should be similar for most things for other operating systems
#OPEN MAP FILE PC#
The easiest way to prepare these files is to use the java application Mobile Atlas Creator to make map files of the area you want on a pc then transfer them to the appropriate directory on your phones sd card for IpBike to use them. Ipbike uses the osmdroid mapping library which will allow you to read map data from files on the sd card. This is not really recomended any more but should still work If when you long press you don't get the MapsForge menu option it indicates that there is some trouble with the file or the setting for it.
Then in the map long press for the menu and choose tile source and select MapsForge. If you put it in the top directory or one down in a /maps directory then IpBike will find them automatically alternativly use the option in settings -> Audio Visual settings -> Map settings -> MapsForge file to tell IpBike where the file to use is.
#OPEN MAP FILE INSTALL#
Otherwise you may need to manually install the map file, just get the unziped file onto the sd card. If there is an Orux download option then that will probobly also work.
#OPEN MAP FILE ANDROID#
If you use one of these other sites then use the generic android app download option if there is one. Please donate to them.ĭ The official mapsforge source.Į Lets you select a custom area in case your on a join for other sources.ĭo it yourself Instructions for preparing your own.
Some themes like Elervate 4 will add menu options in hrere to allow you to customise them even more. Once you are using MapsForge on the long press menu there is a MapsForge settings option where you can change the overall scaling as well as change the theme used. Once installed in the map long press for the menu and choose tile source and select MapsForge. I recoment the Elervate 4 theme, best to use the Default maps app button that will again open IpBike to allow you to download the theme and install it. Again go the the theme download page on your phone. Having got the map file you should also get a MapsForge theme. This should open IpBike which will then allow you to install the map file. Then press the + to expand the list of download options and I recomend the bottom option 'Android mf-V4-map' Install Others V4. Then select your region and find your map. In IpBike you can use Settings -> Audio-visual Settings -> Map settings -> Website for MapsForge files to get there. For IpBike go to the Map downloads page using your phone browser. There are also links that enable downloading of the map automatically into apps. These are good maps with contours that are well worth making a donation for. The simplest and best intergrated is openandromaps. map files you can download for various parts of the world. There are a number of websites listed below with pre-prepared. Or using Mobile Atlas Creator to create your own local tile based map file.
#OPEN MAP FILE OFFLINE#
There are two options for offline mapping support in IpBike.
