Hi Haldo,
you have to copy the the profile file om2_name.xml into the folder /oruxmaps/preferences/4.2/ and then refresh the profiles list in Oruxmaps (top right: circle with two arrows) as the new profiles aren't recognized on startup.

Martin

Thank You Martin

I use Oruxmaps on my win 11 pc .... everything's fine... I had to work a little with the folders but with Lenz's posts I succeeded..

the only thing I cannot do is using the profile I already have on my preferences folder...

any hint?

if not I'll do it all over again

I stopped trying a long ago.. but now I know what was the issue....   I was stupid.

The name of the file MUST be "onlinemapsources"

Mine was without the ending "s"

Now works. Thank you anyway.

[uid]

Well, many things may go wrong, it's difficult to say without seeing the file.

Here below is an example of a valid file containing only one map definition, you can add as many <onlinemapsource> blocks as you want

One important thing is the uid, it is used to uniquely identify the map in the tile cache database. They must be unique not only within your file but within the app, meaning that you can not use in your custom file uids already present in the builtin one. If you do that your entries will be ignored.

Also, when you modify the custom onlinemapsources file, you have to refresh the map list to have them appearing in the list

well...   Since I couldn't make it work this way, I always manually add the two maps I need in the original onlinemapsource.

It works like a charm. But the down part is that everytime the onlinemapsource gets updated I have to do it again.

BTW here is my file. The uid are unique.

and of course I am refreshing the list of maps

You must create an entry for it in the onlinemapsources.xml file located on the 'customonlinemaps' subfolder of the folder defined in 'Settings - App storage - Maps directory'. Example of mine here below:


If you are not familiar with xml, look at the builtin onlinemapsources.xml file located in the maps directory for inspiration.

about that.....  I always tried this... mainly for the google maps and earth maps   but I never achieve that.

I use the customonlinemaps as secondary maps location and I put the custom xml file in that dir. But I never found those maps in the list of the available maps.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks Juanjo

great!!

Thank u Orux

I managed to get an extraction of the data (via sqllite odbc) of my oruxmapstracks.db in order to have a list of the data of my trails.

I have a question about the time related fields. There is a number in the "segtimemov" - "segtimeup" and "segtimedown" field.

I thought it was unix timestamp but it's not

I have, for instance, the number 9197363  for segtimemov that should be 5 hours 54 mins 53 secs
and I have 14432015 for segtimeup that should be 4 hours 0 mins 32 secs

the highest number refers to a lower time...   I'm confused...

any suggestions?

Hi LaurentG, I think I did not made myself clear. I know that any .hgt file can be added to the OruxMaps/Dem directory. What I ask is the addition of new compatible formats. Currently, only .hgt and .dem + .hdr formats are compatible with the app, which could be better, because:

• .hgt is limited to 1" resolution
• .dem + .hdr is not limited in resolution, but it does not seem to be a popular format among free elevation data distributors. I've mostly seen GeoTiff and .asc formats for LiDar and other precise terrain elevation models. I know that they can be converted, but as far as I'm concerned it is a tricky process, at least for those that are new to GIS (like me). If someone knows of a detailed guide on how to perform the conversion to .dem + .hdr, I would appreciate it.

Thanks for replying.

Have You seen this?

Newly updated Tiramisu project...

https://github.com/IgorMagellan/Tiramisu

In my opinion the best mapstyle for hiking and mountaineering

Sometimes I upload my gpx files to some online service like IBP or Wikiloc and I always get a difference in the total elevation gain and loss.

Oruxmaps tells me that I made 1060 meters and IBP and wikiloc are both around 1250

I use the sonny's DEM files and I apply the altitude correction based on DEM files after i stop the recording of the track.

Which is the correct number?

Given the problems of using the sending of SMS from OruxMaps, I have created an independent app to manage this functionality, OruxSoS. It can work alone or be activated from OruxMaps.

Its cost will be €1, but from tomorrow it will be free for 8 days (the time that Google Play allows this type of promotion).

it's not for the euro.... I will give it anyway... but it is not in promotion now....

About OruxSOS

i tried version 0.0.1 and 0.0.2   works fine, It's a long awaited feature. Thank You.

I use Oruxmaps when hiking and I switch off everything (wifi and data) toggling airplane mode ON.
It saves a lot of battery cause the phone is not always searching for data coverage (in the mountains always not so good)

Is it possible to check if airplane mode is On and then switching it OFF before sending the sms?

Thank You

Hi Orux,
very nice new interface!
I would request you  a new function in order to use vocal messages TTS for ascending quote
In general settings - voice - tracks if I select "1" at "Distance for TTS"  I correctly get my selected "messages to speak" every 1km.
On the other side in some mountain activities (sky-alp, vertical Km race) distance (Km) is not significant, but is is interesting
the difference in height (m) / ascending quote (m).
So I'd like (and I think it can be usefull for many people) to receive a vocal message every 100m (or 50m) of difference in height made.

or...if I may....   when one reach a certain altitude....  like a message when reaching.... for instance... 2000 meters or some other value that the user sets
