How to edit oruxmaps with depthcordinats etc.

[ptriksjdin]

Hello! I installed oruxmaps android ap.



Installed Mobile Atlas Creator 1.8 on my computer so i easy could create maps and send it to my phone and use it with Oruxmaps android ap.



But i wonder.. Is it possible to edit the map i created on my computer?



Im planing to make a sea-chart (seacard?) with deepcordinats etc.



I've downloaded ozi-explorer, but i cant import the Oruxmap-file.



Any advice how to make it work?

[ptriksjdin]

Im not sure if its even possible to edit the maps with ozi-explorer..



Just want a program that got functions for painting and also write depths that is compatible oruxmaps for android.

Hi!



Why don't you make a Google Earth KML with the changes you want to add to the map?



I think that is better, because you can update new info.

I did try to make Google earth map. Managed to create Google earth to a kap-file, so i could use it in Oruxmaps. But i dont know how to edit it with deep cordinats etc.



Also i dont know how to make it zoom-possible (layers)



Got any guide? =)

Hi!



For example:

You can draw lines and polygons. For the text, you can put a waypoint (pushpin) with a transparent icon like this; http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100822143346/runescape/images/2/21/1x1-pixel.png">http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2 ... -pixel.png">http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100822143346/runescape/images/2/21/1x1-pixel.png



In Google Earth you'll see this;

but don't worry, OM is better than Google Earth and in OM works fine ^_^

Allright, but  how did u draw the lines and polygons? What program do you use?



A guide with the steps would be great

[ptriksjdin]

Now i think i know how u did them. You made  waypoints, lines and polygons in google earth program.



I know how to make google earth map to a KAP file, so it works in Oruxmaps.



But i dont get how you manage to Import the google earth map to oruxmaps so it shows "googlemaps view" and not  satelliteview.



I prefer the googlemapsview.



How did u do it?=)

Seems like I'm also having problems convert the google earth into a kap file. :/



I'd be glad if you could download a "screen recorder" and show me step by step how you do it and upload the movie here.

I searched for screen recorder on google and found loads of em.



I would really appreciate it!

Hi!



Yes, is Google Earth (GE).



In GE, press the right-hand button on the mouse in "My Places" and you make a folder.



http://www.subirimagenes.com/imagen-googleearth056-8775440.html">



Now, you can draw lines and polygons. When you put a Waypoint, you should change the icon and the name:



http://www.subirimagenes.com/imagen-googleearthnuevo-8775449.html">



Add new icon to GE:



http://www.subirimagenes.com/imagen-icono062-8775453.html">



And put this URL: http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100822143346/runescape/images/2/21/1x1-pixel.png">http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2 ... -pixel.png">http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100822143346/runescape/images/2/21/1x1-pixel.png



http://www.subirimagenes.com/imagen-googleearth063-8775456.html">



You can put more Waypoints with this icon.



All changes should be in the new folder.



http://s2.subirimagenes.com/imagen/previo/thump_8775480google-earth070.png">[/url]



Later, we'll save the changes;



Press the right-hand button on the mouse in the new folder and select "Save place as..." or similar (my GE is in Spanish):



http://www.subirimagenes.com/imagen-googleearth067-8775465.html">



Save the file:



http://www.subirimagenes.com/imagen-googleearth069-8775472.html">



Finally, you'll copy the KML or KMZ file to your phone.

Nevermind the 3m and the 8, i just changed it after.



But the things that looks different is the lines and the polygon :/

You mustn't use this as track/route, you should load as KML: [Map button - Load KML Overlay - {Look for de KML file and you select it} ]

Ah now it works! Thanks alot!!



Its not KML, its KMZ, but maybe it dosnt matter?





Do u know if the map will follow my my boat (gps) or do i have to manually move the map while im sailing?

Maybe something to change in settings?

[alkan]

KML and KMZ (compressed) are similar.



If you start the GPS, your position will always be in the center of the map, you don't need move the map.
