Importing sqlite map files

[Bart Eisenberg]

<Also asked on Github, but no reply>

What's the best way to import sqlite map files for use in OsmAnd? I used to use OsmAnd/tiles, but it's no longer available.

And (while I'm asking), what about importing them in OsmAnd iOS?

Thanks!

Hi Bart,

Like you already mentioned yourself: It used to work like "simply" copying your whatever_map.sqlitedb directly in the "tiles" folder inside the Osmand folder. 

If there is no folder "tiles", can't you create it and then use it? Or download some tiles to make Osmand automatically create it?

Another option is to try to "Open" it and select OsmAnd to open the file, but that is on Android. No idea about iOS.

Hi Harry and thanks.  These are good questions, and I plan to experiment to find some answers.  My basic question was whether there was a proscribed technique I should consider first.  

I gather that the problem has to do with increased security for Android folder access imposed by Google.

Per Victor on Github:

• Android. If you just download click on *.sqlite it will suggest to import using OsmAnd
• iOS. Same here if you sync it with Apple Cloud and open with OsmAnd.

Hi,

Maybe my terminology was wrong, but that was what I meant.

"Another option is to try to "Open" it and select OsmAnd to open the file, but that is on Android. No idea about iOS."

Nice you solved the issue.

Agreed--I thought your solution and his suggested the same approach.
