Android navigation application for Morocco
With recent talk about electronic maps, I thought I would post this.
I've been playing with lots of "apps" for mapping with an Android phone.
I wanted the following functions:
- Able to download maps, so I can use it offline.
- Have a Morocco map available. (Most that can download maps, don't include Morocco)
- Routing would be nice, but at least to able to see where you are.
- Free. (Don't mind paying a few quid, but only after trying the software)
After trying maybe half a dozen different "Apps", I came across Osmand which does all of the above and far more.
You can upload GPX tracks and waypoints, turn on and off which GPX track you want to display, log tracks to GPX and far far more, I'm still learning the software, but I'm really impressed
So far, I have UK, Spanish and Moroccan OSM Maps all available off-line.
Saved my planned trip for 2012 in Mapsource to GPX format and uploaded it, this is made up of various tracks stuck together so it's a huge amount of information and it handled it fine.
