Oruxmaps makes up my mind to choose android~~

First of all, I like riding bike for long long way~~And it's nessesary for me to log my travelling track.
For past years, I used windows mobile phone with OZI CE as my gps app, and it's just great. When I intend to buy a android phone, I confused, because I lost my best gps app...
When I found Oruxmaps, I cried... This is just the very app I want, with functionality such as offline map, track logging, waypoint logging and exporting...
Thanks for your great work!

Now I found Mobile Atlas Creator for creating my offline map, and I know it's not easy to read ozf2/ozf3 file directly. However, if Oruxmaps can supports single file offline map, such as sqllite database of BigPlanet/RMaps, Oruxmaps is absolutely the best app on android

ps:I'm not sure if there is a reason for you to keep your own offline map format(a lot of map cache files), for example, retrieving map tile from a single sqllite database could be more power consume behavior becasue of the extracting action?(I'm familiar with ArcGIS Server, it used lot's of files as the map cache format)

I found the MobileAtlasCreator1.8alpha5OruxMapsTest.zip supporting Ourxmaps Sqlite I think it will be good to write this explicitly on the Manual page

And may I ask if there is a plan for Oruxmaps to support cellphone base station locating, in addition to GPS locating？

Hi;

You are right; I will add an advise on Manual page.

Next version will add networking support for quick first location fix.

But the accuracy is very poor in outdoor activities.
