Maps OFFLine

FNC TMS FNC Maps

Hi,

My Android app is used in areas without cell phone coverage, and I need the user to be able to see on the map the points where they should take soil samples. Can I use FNC Maps to view maps in areas without coverage? Which service should I use? Do you have any examples?

Kind ragards,

Diego

Hi,

TTMSFNCOpenLayers supports offline maps, however it does require access to local map tiles through a local tile server.

Please have a look at the following blog post for more information:

Hi Bart, thank you!

Could i use on my celphone a local path? Something like this:

TMSFNCOpenLayers1.Options.TileServer := 'file://mypath/{z}/{x}/{y}.png';

This requires running a local tile server, typically accessed via a local URL. For example (from the linked blog post):

TMSFNCOpenLayers1.LibraryLocation := llOffline;
TMSFNCOpenLayers1.Options.TileServer := 'http://localhost:3650/api/maps/basic/{z}/{x}/{y}.png';

The blog post concentrates on offline maps for desktop use. I don’t have specific guidance for setting this up on a cellphone. Unfortunately setting up tileservers falls outside the scope of the TMS FNC Maps product.
