Please excuse a map beginner question.
I was interested in adding into Orux some openstreetmap extracts from Mapzen
//mapzen.com/data/metro-extracts
It makes maps available in 6 formats., with examples of the contained files:
format contains
osm pbf hong-kong_china.osm.bin
osm xml hong-kong_china.osm
osm2pgsql shp hong-kong_china_osm_line.dbf
hong-kong_china_osm_line.shp
etc
osm2pgsql json hong-kong_china_osm_line.geojson
hong-kong_china_osm_point.geojson
hong-kong_china_osm_polygon.geojson
imposm shp hong-kong_china_osm_admin.dbf
hong-kong_china_osm_admin.shp
etc
imposm geojson hong-kong_china_admin.geojson
etc
but when I copy any of them into /oruxmaps/mapfiles (on Android),
Orux doesn't recognise any of them.
I have successfully imported .map and .mbtiles with no problems.
Am I doing something wrong?
I don't know anything about your map site, but if you want to use an active solution for downloading of maps:
http://www.oruxmaps.com/cs/index.php/maps
The "map (mapsforge vectorial)" can costumize easyer with diffrent themes...
Thanks, yes, I have taken several maps from there,
and they work well, especially with the themes.
Really I am just trying to understand better the subject of getting maps into Orux.

Hello;
OruxMaps only supports a limited types of maps, you can find more info in the manual -> oruxmaps.com

Thankyou, in fact I have read the manual maybe 10, maybe 15 times.
The map types is page 12.
I have read this page maybe 20 times.

A map is a folder with the name of the map which contains:
Always: a file with the extension .otrk2.xml with calibration data.
A file with the extension .db or a series of folders with map images.
But this is not correct.
For example, I can download and open .map files.
.map files are not files with the extension .xml or .db.
So I assume the manual is not up to date.
So if I can open .map files,
I wonder what other kinds of map files I can open.
rmap and mbtiles for example are supported...
Some img maps too....

Yes, as I mentioned in the first post,
I discovered by trial and error that
.map and .mbtiles would work.
The mapzen file formats had some .xml and .dbf files
so I thought they might work also.
