mapzen.com extracts from openstreetmap into Orux

[alienheartbeat]

Please excuse a map beginner question.

I was interested in adding into Orux some openstreetmap extracts from Mapzen

   //mapzen.com/data/metro-extracts

It makes maps available in 6 formats., with examples of the contained files:

Code Select Expand


format contains
osm pbf hong-kong_china.osm.bin
osm xml hong-kong_china.osm
osm2pgsql shp hong-kong_china_osm_line.dbf
hong-kong_china_osm_line.shp
etc
osm2pgsql json hong-kong_china_osm_line.geojson
hong-kong_china_osm_point.geojson
hong-kong_china_osm_polygon.geojson
imposm shp hong-kong_china_osm_admin.dbf
hong-kong_china_osm_admin.shp
etc
imposm geojson hong-kong_china_admin.geojson
etc

but when I copy any of them into /oruxmaps/mapfiles (on Android),

Orux doesn't recognise any of them.



I have successfully imported .map and .mbtiles with no problems.



Am I doing something wrong?

I don't know anything about your map site, but if you want to use an active solution for downloading of maps:

The "map (mapsforge vectorial)" can costumize easyer with diffrent themes...

Thanks, yes, I have taken several maps from there,

and they work well, especially with the themes.



Really I am just trying to understand better the subject of getting maps into Orux.

Hello;



OruxMaps only supports a limited types of maps, you can find more info in the manual -> oruxmaps.com

you can find more info in the manual -> oruxmaps.com

Thankyou, in fact I have read the manual maybe 10, maybe 15 times.

The map types is page 12.

I have read this page maybe 20 times.



It says:

OruxMaps uses a proprietary map format map...

...

A map is a folder with the name of the map which contains:

Always: a file with the extension .otrk2.xml with calibration data.

A file with the extension .db or a series of folders with map images.

But this is not correct.

For example, I can download and open .map files.  

.map files are not files with the extension .xml or .db.

So I assume the manual is not up to date.



So if I can open .map files,

I wonder what other kinds of map files I can open.

rmap and mbtiles for example are supported...

Some img maps too....

Yes, as I mentioned in the first post,

I discovered by trial and error that

.map and .mbtiles would work.



The mapzen file formats had some .xml and .dbf files

so I thought they might work also.
