Need to install map of Cuba for OruxMaps, how?
Hi guys...
I am new to OruxMaps, so I was wondering if someone can tell me how I can create a map of Cuba so it's compatible with OruxMaps and can be used when I am going on vacation there.
Can someone please tell me how I can do this???

OpenStreetMap includes maps of Cuba. Those are installed on OruxMaps the same way as all maps are. Check out the manual and online documentation.

Re: Need to install map of Cuba for OruxMaps, how?
Thanks for the reply back.
I have read several tutorials, several times. I understand everything a bit better now.
Currently I am trying to create a map using Mobile Atlas Creator and selecting "OpenStreetMap MapQuest" along with OruxMaps Sqlite.
However whenever I try to select Cuba completely as map, I am getting to many tiles error.
The message I am getting is "Atlas download prohibited" ...bla...bla... Maximum allowed tiles: 500. Currently selected tiles: 890.
I already tried selecting less and lowering the zoom values a lot (instead of 18, 17. I have only selected 16 through .
Any ideas what I can do now?
Please advice. I cannot seem to find anything on this problem, nor in the manuals, nor with Google...

Re: Need to install map of Cuba for OruxMaps, how?
You might try downloading, say, Havana at a higher layer--where you need the detail. And, separately, the rest of the island, or wherever you know you'll be, at a lower layer. OruxMaps doesn't need everything in one download. Once you are in Cuba, you can, at any time, look to see what maps are resident on your device for the location you're at. And before you go, try it experimentally with a few tiles at home so that you feel comfortable this will work.
It's worth noting that OSM is a volunteer project (like Wikipedia)--so the data is not complete. You may find that some areas have remarkably good coverage; others are just a place name or not even that.

Re: Need to install map of Cuba for OruxMaps, how?
Thanks for the reply. I was already thinking about splitting up the map by creating Cuba East and Cuba West. I need the complete island, because we are going to do some traveling from east to west (or vice versa).
Anyways thanks for your input. I will see if I can make it work.

Have a good trip. I'd be interested in how well this all works in the field if you'd care to post it here on your return.

Re: Need to install map of Cuba for OruxMaps, how?
If I generate seperate map sections, would it be possible to merge them?
