Do you need an offline map? DIY Map GPS offers you "Unique" features. The "DIY" in the app name is a clue that this is not just an offline map app.
Basically you can directly download OpenStreetMap, OpenCycleMap, OpenSeaMap as an app which allows you to download maps of any place in the world. FREE downloads of 3,788 city maps worldwide and millions of Points of Interest are already listed. All you have to do is just download the maps app.
Now, We would like to introduce the unique "DIY Map" feature. You can make your own offline maps in several ways outlined below.
First, you can use map files with the formats listed below without conversion.
- OziExplorer Map Data file(.map)
- Google Earth KMZ/KML file
- Kashmir3D KMZ/KML file
Second, you can use the atlas(with MBTiles SQLite format) downloaded through the Mobile Atlas Creator.
- Mobile Atlas Creator uses 25 world map sources to create an atlas. Mobile Atlas Creator is available for Mac OSX, Windows, Linux for free. (http://mobac.sourceforge.net/)
Finally, You can convert a RasterMap file into a Tile-based DIY Map DB(.diymap) using the "DIY Map Maker" provided by us. "DIY Map Maker" is available for Mac OSX, Windows for free. (http://www.builtsoft.com)
You can use NOAA RNC® (Raster Navigational Charts) as well as JPEG/TIFF for the DIY Map. NOAA provides weekly updates to the Raster Navigational Charts, which are available for free in the BSB format(.kap). NOAA RNC® are full-color digital images of NOAA's entire suite of paper charts. Here are the files supported by DIY Map Maker.
- Supported file formats: TIFF/GeoTIFF, MrSID, OziExolorer Map Data(.map), NOAA BSB(.kap), ECW, Goole Earth KMZ/KML, Kashmir3D KMZ/KML, JPEG2000, Erdas HFA, JPEG and more…
