Title: How to export compatible maps
Post by: kellanphil on April 29, 2025, 04:36:14 AM
Hello everyone, I am really new to the world of qgis but since I use maps a lot during my treka, I would need help exporting mappers that are compatible with Oruxmaps or Locusmaps, two apps that I often use to view maps offline during my treks.

In particular, I don't understand what file extensions are compatible with these apps, so I don't know how to export maps that I can use.

For example, I have seen that on Oruxmaps, the maps that can be used offline are labeled "Mapsforge", but no other compatibility informations are given.

Could someone explain to me how to export a map from qgis so that I can use it on these map readers?

Thank you in advance

I use mbtiles exported directly from qgis, search for XYZ tiles in the raster tools. However be aware that it is quite broken in recent releases, I'm stuck with 3.28 until it is solved, but it also depends on how the map is created so it may not be an issue for you even on more recent releases.
