Alminav is an Android navigation app for hiking and cycling
Contents
Alminav is a lightweight maps and navigation app for outdoor activities Outdoor activities such as hiking and cycling. It has offline functionality when there's no internet connectivity. After the maps have been downloaded, all functions like route calculation and search for localities, streets and Pois are possible without Internet. Alminav is great for hiking and riding a bicycle, it can also be used as an orientation aid when driving.
Maps
If a GPS position has been found (in Follow GPS or in Routeplanner with My position), a dialog for map download or map selection starts. The suitable map can be selected from this dialog. Maps can also be selected and downloaded from map fragment.
Route calculation
In world map only airplane navigation is possible, start and destination points will be connected by linear distances. In country road maps (Germany, France ...) car can be selected as routing vehicle.
For the other maps the route calculation with different vehicles is possible. The route calculation is fastest with map tiles due to their small size.
Follow GPS
The center of the map (blue circle or arrow) is the current GPS position, as long as the map has not been scrolled. The map is aligned again when you tap on the GPS marker. When travelling forward the map is following the GPS postion.

These map tiles are divided into one degree square tiles. Storage size of a map with navigation data averages about 20 MB. For example the tile n52e010 contains map data for the area with latitudes between 52°N and 53°N and longitudes between 10°E and 11°E. The route calculation is fast with map tiles due to their small size.

Alminav3D is an extension of Alminav. It uses the data (maps, pois ...) of Alminav and has no download function, so it is only useful in combination with Alminav. Alminav3D uses OpenGL graphic functions and provides a perspective view of maps. [1]

Download maps in browser
Here you can download data for the Android app Alminav, if you know which maps you need. The navigation data is necessary for the route calculation and should be downloaded with the map. Pois and Cities can be downloaded as required, they are not available for all maps. If the download is carried out on the PC, the data must be copied into the download directory of the mobile device without extracting it. When restarting Alminav, the maps are imported and are then available. This works only in the Pro version.
