Single Map Repository for Android

Development of BackCountry Navigator for Android is ongoing. 

Topo maps and other maps used by BackCountry Navigator come in many small pieces,which are put together when viewing. BackCountry Navigator in the past has stored these has stored these in the database file with the vector data - the tracks and waypoints - all in a .db3 file. 

Recent research for BackCountry Navigator on Android has proven that performance is sufficient when map images are stored in a single, file based repository for image data. This is a large number of smaller files in a neatly organized directory instead of one large file. 

This will mean that there will be a single choice between online preview and offline maps. There will continue to be a choice of datafiles for other data (waypoints and tracks). 

There is a discussion of this in more detail on the forum:

Have a great day!
