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. 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. These maps are provided by them free for download and use therefore I don't understand the "internal protection to limit downloading" 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. Yes I'm downloading the entire map of Norway, for me when offline in the remotest areas it works perfectly. There are other benefits of LoMaps like offline address search or you can influence the appearance of the map using themes. LoMaps are vector based have about 10x smaller size then downloaded online maps. I can suggest to use combination with Locus LoMaps maps and several Statkart Topo maps (downloaded only for custom areas). The downloading online maps should be used for areas about 50 x 50 km. In your situation is the size of map intensified due to "polar" areas (I guess that you download whole Norway).įor this reason we don't strongly recommended downloading huge areas. Please note that the size of map grows exponentially with every zoom level. The Norwegian Topo maps are available to zoom level = 18. It's also our internal protection to limit downloading of huge areas - exactly like your downloading. The downloading is limited because the terms of map provider (Norwegian Mapping Authority).
