How To Use Map Packs, GPX and KMZ files
1
Install the free, open source
Follow prompts to download topographical OpenStreetMap basemaps of your area.
2
Download the Map Pack or file.
Saved to your phone's downloads folder by default.
3
Import the Map Pack or file.
In Organic Maps, tap the third icon (2 stars & 3 dots). Select 'Import Bookmarks and Tracks' and load the Trailspotting Map Pack or file. Your download is now visible on the main map.
Notes for use:
• Downloaded Trailspotting Map Packs and OpenStreetMap basemaps do not need cell service. Carry a smartphone battery backup when using for navigation, along with your usual hiking essentials.
• Our Map Packs and GPX files can be used for navigation, but only in conjunction with a downloaded OpenStreetMap basemap.
• New England Rail Trail shows routes that are approximate and should not be used alone for navigation purposes.
• We hope to add better map placemarker types and colors as soon as Organic Maps improvements allow.
