The maps are cached on the phone. If the mobile network is not available, or if you choose to work offline, then ViewRanger will display as much of the map as it can using the cached tiles.
You can cache an area of map automatically using the new Create saved map feature.
Choose Organiser
, Maps then select Online maps. You will be presented with a list of online map sources to select from.
(If you do not see the list of Online maps, go first to Organizer
, ViewRanger store, allow the list to update, then go back to Maps.)
Choose Organiser
, select Settings and then Online maps.
Online - download required map tiles or only use existing tiles found within the Map cache.
Map cache size - set the size in (MB) of the downloaded map cache. This is the space reserved to store online map tiles. Once the cache is full, the oldest map tiles are deleted to free space.
Clear tiles and Clear map cache - used to explicitly clear the map cache when required. Set the slider and press the button - maps older than the specified number of days will be erased. Setting this value to 0 will clear everything in the cache. (Note: this operation cannot be undone)
Routes, Tracks and POIs
Routes, tracks and points of interest created when viewing online maps are completely separate to those used for premium maps (except for USA maps, where they are the same). So for example, a route or POI set shown on a premium map, won't be visible on the online map and vice versa. This is because the two maps use different coordinate spaces. We will remove this restriction in a future release. Also note that if you swap between online and non-online maps while recording a track, the track will be split into parts and the whole won't be visible (Note: You can move routes, tracks and POIs between the maps by saving them to a GPX file, swapping to the other type of map, then re-importing the GPX file).
