Iphone offline map support


Recommended Posts

I have used many gps apps on the iphone. I pretty much keep my Lowrance Endura in my pack for a back up. The best one I have found so far is "gpskit". It has everything I want. Mainly the ability to download map tiles and access them later offline. You can also create custom maps by using a server address to download maps from.They use to have a lite version out if any of you want to help troubleshoot.

 

HOWEVER,I am having a lot of trouble downloading tiles with Google Sat and Terrain maps. The Sat map wont display at all when zoomed out, and

will not longer download tiles while zoomed in. The terrain map displays fine, but wont download tiles while zoomed in either. All of

the other maps dont seem to be doing this. I have the USGS address in my custom maps and it seems to work great. I am pretty

certain that it has something to do with the website url I am using for the Sat and terrain. I have reinstalled gpskit and everything else

I can think of. I have tried using ArcGIS map servers and many other server addresses for custom maps in the app, but I cant seem to get the format

right.Any help here? The address for the USGS map link I download from is below along with the Sat address that I cant get working right. Anyone know about this sorta thing?

 

USGS: This site works fine with the iphone app.

This is a wiki article that talks about it a lot, but I couldnt get a couple of the links to work.
