Download Mapc2mapc Registration Key

From previous comments that I found from searching, the downloads of these maps are limited to 10000 per day. I've been at this for a week now, I have downloaded zooms 6 through to 12 but it seems to me that I've been downloading zoom 12 for the past 2 or 3 days. The size of these maps are now at 2274.46mb
Why are these maps limited downloading per day? How many zooms are there in total and what is the final size of the map once completed. The window that I get once I reach my limit does not provide any information to suggest that you are getting there, or a few more maps left or the eventual file size.
I'm in the same boat and still downloading a small portion of the map, I have 400,000 tiles at zoom 17 to download :-/ not sure what to do now so if anyone has any tips into accelerating the process it'll be great to hear.
the downloading is limited because the terms of map provider (Norwegian Mapping Authority). It's also our internal protection to limit downloading of huge areas - exactly like your downloading. The Norwegian Topo maps are available to zoom level = 18. Please note that the size of map grows exponentially with every zoom level. In your situation is the size of map intensified due to "polar" areas (I guess that you download whole Norway).
I can suggest to use combination with Locus LoMaps maps and several Statkart Topo maps (downloaded only for custom areas). LoMaps are vector based have about 10x smaller size then downloaded online maps. There are other benefits of LoMaps like offline address search or you can influence the appearance of the map using themes. Please see =manual:user_guide:maps_locusmaps
Yes I'm downloading the entire map of Norway, for me when offline in the remotest areas it works perfectly. I do know that Kartverket does limit it's downloads but they don't restrict you from downloading the entire maps ( at once ) for personal use. These maps are provided by them free for download and use therefore I don't understand the "internal protection to limit downloading"
I do have these maps in other formats but yet to figure out how to convert them to a format that can be used in Locus maps which keeps the high resolution. As for size of the maps, that is up to the individual user how large of map that they want to download, isn't it? It's too easy to have the maps on a sdcard to save internal space.
LoMaps doesn't provide the level of detail that I'm looking for when travelling "off the beaten path" in Norway therefore the desire to use the Norwegian topo maps instead. But I have to admit I was unaware of the themes that can be used with LoMaps, so I will take a look at that.
I have to ask, if you were provided with the maps in another format are you guys able to convert them to a format that is compatible with Locus Maps which you can host for those costumers who have bought the pro version?
Yes. I did manage in the past years to download bigger maps from parts of Norway but no anymore, so this restriction makes it useless if you want to have maps for hiking or/cycling since zoom 17 and 18 are so useful. Having 10,000 tiles saved up can allow a big enough map but then without using those zoom 17 and 18, so reducing possibly those use case to driving... and if you are driving you can use other types of other offline maps.
Despite on all points above I'd like to recommend combination of LoMaps and smaller parts of downloaded Statkart topo maps. You can use for example LoMaps as background maps and display the topo maps as overlay. Based on that you can have map for whole Norway but some custom areas would covered by statkart topo maps. Please see attached image - it isn't Norway but I only want to show what I mean.
With all the comments said, I do see that the higher the zoom the larger the file, especially if a person tries to download the entire country. In the present format it's simply is unwise to pursue this idea further but it does lean me back to a point that has been mentioned before. The maps that avail here: -norge-rett-i-lomma/ the high quality versions are very good but the format is not compatible with Locus Maps.
Is there somebody within this community that has the ability to convert those maps to a format that would work in Locus maps? Could they be converted to a format that is smaller in size, keeping the present quality levels?Then from there combined into one map for the entire country? All valid questions that I think would be beneficial to many other users of Locus Maps. Wishful thinking maybe, but worth the time to ask.
Went into Geoviewer, load the map (native map projection), tools, export with Write word file (for the TFW file), then leave to medium dimensions for output size (should this be bigger or smaller?), click export and then got 2 files.
Then went onto Mapc2mapc, load the map with calibration and choose x.tfw, select UTM Zone 33, and click on WSG84 (already at this stage it is showing me red crosses on my map), then save the map to the Locus format.
As for downloading offline statkart.no maps, I am downloading a small area where I will be hiking during few days and zoom 17 and 18 are the ones I need the most for its precision. Surely the lomaps works ok but it feels great to have such level of details you can get from statkart maps. And having different map on board with different precisions/format is useful from my past experience when interpreting ways to go at a mountain climb for example.
