All maps working

Thanks Brett - good to know they are working under the new MapServer location

https://services.thelist.tas.gov.au/arc ... s/Basemaps

Hi all,

Firstly can I just say what a wonderful thread this is, I've greatly enjoyed the sharing of knowledge to help us all in the great outdoors.

I have up to now been using the (fantastic) MOBAC method first posted by Rapscallion on 20th May 2014. The mapsources.zip file no longer seems to work and I've tried for the life of me to work out how to fix it. I see some folk have managed to come up with a fix for the Oruxmaps code, but I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough / clever enough to help me to fix the MOBAC code (please?!).

Thank you so much

Best wishes

John

try the attached file - I have just updated the links - let me know if it fails

Hi Tastrax,

Thanks so much for your reply (and so quickly)!

Have tried the updated file that you attached but sadly no joy.

I do wonder if it's something to do with the WMS source (whatever that means!) since others below have posted more success with the REST maps?

Thanks again for your help with this!

Cheers

John

I will grab MOBAC later and see what I can do for you

Hey in case TasTrax doesn't get to it I have updated URl's for mobile atlas creator. Is working in my (2.1.2) Mobile Atlas Creator
Thanks for all the good work people
Cheers

Dang - you beat me waif!

Attached are MOBAC xml files if you want to use the WMTS service which I think is a bit quicker. Unzip to your mapsources folder

Thank you so much waif and tastrax - you guys are totally awesome!!!

I had problems with the WMS maps a while back when the QTopo and NSW SIX WMS maps stopped working. I had entered the details in the wms_services.xml file. I found if I edited the parameters and saved with a different name, they worked. Long press the map name to see the Edit option. I just tried this in the Layer - World folder (for Tile Server parameters) and Edit is not available. Long press causes the map to be removed from the list. It reappears when you tap the refresh button (if the details are in the onlinemapsources.xml file).
The Tas LIST maps are available from a LIST WMS server. Here is my wms_services.xml file:

Copy - paste this into Notepad and save as wms_services.xml. Connect your Android to your computer, browse to the oruxmaps/mapfiles folder, and rename the existing wms_services.xml file (as a backup). Then paste the new file into the oruxmaps/mapfiles folder.
If the maps dont work, long press the map name, tap Edit, and save as a different name.

Alternatively, paste in the urls using the manual WMS Creator. Ie Maps - Online - Switch Maps. Tap + (plus button) at top. Tap WMS. Paste the url including the ?. Select https box. When the Layer box opens, tap All. Enter zoom levels 5 to 20. Select Cacheable and Downloadable. Give it a name. See previous posts for more details.

It took a few goes to get it to work. Drag the map and zoom in and and out until it starts working. Make sure the map location is in Tasmania.

The LIST maps also have WMTS servers. But I found it only zooms in to a scale of 90 metres on the map screen, whereas the WMS maps zooms in to a few metres. This is useful for following pre-loaded tracks, or back-tracking.
One of the WMTS server urls is:

services.thelist.tas.gov.au/arcgis/rest/services/Basemaps/Tasmap25K/MapServer/WMTS/1.0.0/WMTSCapabilities.xml

WMTS parameters are added manually, as above. Tap the https box.

REST tile servers are generally faster to load than WMS servers. Here is a Tas LIST tile server that works. Add this to the onlinemapsources.xml file in the oruxmaps/mapfiles folder on the Android, after the <onlinemapsources> tag.

At maximum zoom, the scale on the map was 40 metres.

Gday,

Recently (last few weeks?) the LIST WMS layers have failed to load. Anyone else having issues? Would someone mind sharing their (known good) URLs?

Cheers

Ahh, the listmap folks kindly answered this for me...

New WMS links here:

https://services.thelist.tas.gov.au/arc ... /WMSServer
https://services.thelist.tas.gov.au/arc ... /WmsServer
https://services.thelist.tas.gov.au/arc ... /WmsServer

As an aside - If you head to this site you can then see many other services available from LIST in various formats (many in WMS)

https://services.thelist.tas.gov.au/arc ... t/services

Click through and find something you are after and then see if there is a WMS link at the top. The one below is Road Blocks/Closures during fires/emergency events etc



You may find its possible to also use some of these in some Android mapping programs

Wow, this thread just blew some time...

I have Oruxmaps free installed via APK from their website.

I've been trying for an hour or more to get the Tassie maps loaded into it.

The last entry for TasMap 25k I copied from an earlier post here by ken3333 and it works fine, but the others don't work.

I'd like to get the maps that Brekel posted images of above working - Brekel, any chance of getting your onlinemapsources.xml file?

Also, once I've got them working, how do I save them for offline use?

I have had no luck with OROX either. I am a *massive* fan of Locus Maps for Android. So much so that I have an android emulator on my PC and use it as my primary planning device now (as well as in-field). The links I posted above work fine in Locus and I have successfully used MOBAC to create offline versions of LISTMap.

Make sure the URLs match one of the ones below. There was a recent change where all the services went to https, and changed from ImageServer to MapServer. The LIST instructions have not been updated to match the new locations.

To use them offline, make sure you include the "cacheable" and "downloadable" lines. By default, using the templates from TheList, downloadable is set to 0. It needs to be 1.

Cacheable enables storing of tiles in the background every time you view a map online.

Downloadable enables you to define an area and download it at your chosen zoom level/s. Go to Map_tools->Map_creator, and follow the prompts.

Cheers,
Brett.

Also notethat by putting (AU) at the end of the name for each map (as per the code I posted) all the maps will be in an AU (Australia) subfolder of the Layers directory, rather than mixed in with any other maps you're using.
Makes the easier to find

Thanks Brett, that's working perfectly for me now... I never would have sorted that out on my own.

Locus Maps looks interesting, but I'll try to get comfortable with Orux first before I start confusing myself with other options.

Thanks to the others who offered advice too, this is a great forum.

So much so that I have an android emulator on my PC and use it as my primary planning device now (as well as in-field). The links I posted above work fine in Locus and I have successfully used MOBAC to create offline versions of LISTMap.

I am curious as to which emulator you use for Locus Maps on your PC. Would like that option myself.

TIA

It's called bluestacks. The only problem is that it is a complete virtual machine so data sharing is a problem. You can solve this to some extent using cloud storage and syncing with FolderSync for example.

Thanks for that; works well. Similar for QTopo, below.

Is there a list for the various state services somewhere?

Any help appreciated

Which map are you interested in?

Here is a zip file with the Orthophoto, Topo and Raster maps



Just extract the three xml files to the mapsources directory
