View source for Local Map Sources

= General info =
Existing atlases or locally rendered tiles can be directly integrated into MOBAC as custom map source without having to set-up a local
web-server. 

At the moment the formats used by OSMTracker, AndNav, BackCountry Navigator, Maverick and OSMAND are supported. 
The tiles can be used from the file-system or directly from within ZIP files or SQLite databases.

For more details how to use tiles from local file-system please see [http://mobac.sourceforge.net/MOBAC/README.HTM#FileBased REAME.HTM] that comes with MOBAC.

= Preparing existing maps =

In case you have an calibrated map image (e.g scanned) you want to use with MOBAC you can prepare the map using one of the following tools:

* [http://www.maptiler.org MapTiler] (Windows / Mac OS X / Linux)
* [http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/projects/mapcruncher/ MapCruncher] (Windows)

= Generating map tiles based on OSM data = 

== Maperative == 

.Net based program that runs on Windows and Linux. On 32bit systems Maperative is only usable for small regions as it loads the OSM data completely into a memory based database which needs depending on the region size and data density several Gigabyte RAM.
