Its time for a summer break, I’m on tour with MTB and Kajak in the beautifull forrest+lake district in the north of Austria near the border of Czech republic. Unfortunately the 3G-Net is weak in this area 😉
Begining from September on I will update the whole Mapset.
The current update is made with a new set of coastlines – I tried my best to correct errors.
However, if you experience flooded areas please report them – Thanks.
The support will be very basic in the next 3 weeks, if Im sitting at the notebook all the time even during vacance my wife will kill me slowly….
Best regards, Christian
As a fan of Scotland – I’v spent 8 sommers walking in Scotland – I have released a map of Scotland with extreme high details at low zoom-levels. The mapping is the same as for Iceland.
For the lowlands this is in parts a kind of overkill, there you can use the Great_Britain map.
However, for walkers and cyclists able to withstand midges and ocasional showers, walking the Hebrides, the Orkneys, the Shetlands, Skye aso. this map is a great addition to the portfolio.
A great walk in one of the most beautiful nature scenes in Europe

Hello,
Two weeks ago I moved this website from a shared account to a VirtualPrivateServer wit 8GB Ram and 2Vcores.
In addition I moved the critical parts like js, css and pictures to ContentDeliveryNetwork.
This eliminates the need of questionable and sometimes inkompatible tricks like Browser caching, minifying aso..
Advantage: Usualy the pages are now delivered in less than 2sec to all kinds of browsers
Downside: Costs 378.–€/Year
Anyway, I don’t like to stop half the way – so enjoy it.
Best regards, Christian
Hello,
For Locus and Oruxmaps there are general maps in zoom-levels 4-9 covering the whole world for download.
These maps are perfect for overview and switching to the detailed Vectormaps for navigation.
The format of the maps is sqlite (bitmaps) for faster handling in these zoom-levels.
- Oruxmaps: Please decompress the zipfile and copy the whole World_OSM folder to the map-folder on the smartphone.[download]
- Locus: Decompress the file and copy WorldOSM_Locus.sqlitedb in the \maps – folder on the smartphone (\maps , NOT \MapsVector!)[download]
While the first loading of the maps (or starting the app after copying the maps on the phone) these maps have to initialised – this may take a while, but only once.
Best regards, Christian
