Load offline gmapsupp.img format maps in iOS-Open-GPX-Tracker

Hi Juan and Vincent,

Very nice that I can use your app on my old Ipad2 (thanks to the support of iPadOS 8.0 and higher)!

Would it be possible in the future to load an offline gmapsupp.img into iOS-Open-GPX-Tracker so one can use it in remote area's without internet mobile data? I think that is very attractive and a gmapsupp.img is often not very large.

Best regards

@Blittr, Sorry that I didn't reply to you earlier.

One unfortunate thing that I need to tell you is that with the newer Xcode (app for developing iOS apps) versions, Apple does not seem to support targeting apps for iOS 8 anymore, so basically we are forced to move to at least iOS 9, for the next update, as well as future releases.

Also, I recently had a try at decoding a gmapsupp file for the Apple platforms. Pretty interesting file format with it's partition table layout, not the easiest to decode that's for sure. The difficulty does intrigue me, so I might tinker with it with my free time. 🙂

Thanks for the reply. The gmapsupp.img format is interesting because there are many maps available. Plus you can use Open-GPX-Tracker without a mobile data connection. That is very nice in areas without mobile data available.
