Hello,
I use yours maps with Locus map. But do you know if it’s possible to use it in Windows with another soft ?
Best regards,
Mathieu
Hi Mathieu,
There are two ways:
– Use an Android emulator in Windows with the Android app of your choice.
Genymotion is very fast emulator, as it’s actually a VM running in VirtualBox.– Use a native Windows app that can read vector maps.
You can try Atlas a Java app that runs in win, linux, macos.Hi Mathieu,
just have a look at the FAQ:
FAQ, Question 2I recommend Atlas for starters, it’s the easiest way.

Tobias you need to update the guide for the VM in Windows, as the AndroVM download links do not exist anymore.
AndroVM site goes to Genymotion.Hi Emux,
first of all thanks for developing a program like atlas, I found it very useful but… have you planned to import a gpx track file into it?
Can you also explain to me how to use the routing mode? It ask to me for a folder with the graph (?).Thanks
Best regardsHi Giogio,
In latest version I added import of GeoJSON (points, lines, polygons).
Yes it’s in the schedule support for GPX too.For the offline routing (like Cruiser) I use the GraphHopper library.
You’ll need first to load an offline graph for the country / region you wish.
I have built some graphs here: http://www.talent.gr/public/graphs/
If you need anyone else, tell me.You’ll find 2 kinds of graphs for each region:
– The default ones with contraction hierarchies on (fast for cars)
– The “_all” with contraction hierarchies off (car, foot, bike) and included elevation data.Hi emux,
thank you for your answers.I use the alps map of OAM so it is not included there http://www.talent.gr/public/graphs/
But it is not a problem, I can live without :), It was only my curiosity
Usually I use as source the official OSM data extracts from Geofabrik:
http://download.geofabrik.de/If you can tell me from there, the countries / regions you need,
I can put them in schedule for preparation.Tobias you need to update the guide for the VM in Windows, as the AndroVM download links do not exist anymore.
AndroVM site goes to Genymotion.Emux
Hi Emux – is on the TODO.
Giogio I’ve published both types of graphs for Italy at:

AndroVM site goes to Genymotion.You can still run an Android emulator on Windows using Genymotion but there is an additional step or two.
1. Download and install the free version of Genymotion from https://www.genymotion.com/#!/download (you need to create an account). Choose the large download with Oracle VM included.
2. For update instructions on how to install Google Play services on your emulator, Google ‘Genymotion Google Play’.
2a. Alternatively, follow one or other of these instructions:

3. Restart the emulator (You may need to close it using the red cross in the normal Windows manner), sign in to Google and allow Google Play to update. This should clear the various error messages and crashes.
4. Download Locus Maps from the Google Play Store.It works for me.
There is another route using Oracle VM VirtualBox and using Android-x86 ISO outlined in the pages below, though I’ve not attempted it.
