MAPAS/MAPS / PDF Maps
August 08, 2016, 01:55:05 AM
Excuse me if this has been answered but I have searched and could not find an answer.



I'm using Oruxmaps free and have recently gotten a number of good PDF maps. I can open these on my Android using Avenza BUT I would prefer to use these PDF maps off-line in Oruxmaps since it is a WAY better application.



I've copied them into my mapfiles folder but they do not show as available maps to open.



Do I need to convert them and if so what is the best application and file format?



As well, I'm using Garmin Topo *.IMG for my normal off-line map which works awesomely. I just need to use the PDF maps in Oruxmaps like I would use them in Avenza.



Thanks in advance

GENERAL / Intro and Blue Tooth remote control?
April 09, 2016, 02:18:56 AM
Hello my friends,



I have NOT search for this so sorry in advance if this has been posted.



I've been using Oruxmaps with a good off-line base top on an Android for dirt biking in remote places with no cell/wifi for 2 years and I love this app and have been recommending on Thumper Talk http://www.thumpertalk.com">http://www.thumpertalk.com which is a dirt bike forum. I currently carry it in my pack while riding and use it occasionally to find my way back to my start way point but 'm in the process of RAM mounting the phone and using it more in real time.



In the Thumper Talk forum, The question has recently been asked about Blue Tooth remote control. Basically a way zooming/panning, setting way point's etc with a device you can mount near your thumb on the handle bars so you do not have to take off your gloves or use a finger sleeve.



Here's a couple of blue tooth remote options.
