What is Geopaparazzi

Basically an engineering survey tool

MBTiles backed tiles

Thanks to a contribution of Mark Johnson (www.mj10777.de) it is now possible to back online tilesources into mbtiles databases.

url=http://sdi.provincia.bz.it/geoserver/wms?...minzoom=11maxzoom=22center=11.42 46.8type=wmsformat=jpgdefaultzoom=17mbtiles=provincia_bz/_ortofoto.mbtiles

a new mbtiles db is created and the tiles fetched online only if not available and those downloaded are stored there

Example *.mapurl file of WMS of Province of Bolzano:

if mtbiles db starts with "_",then it will not be listed in thesources list (avoid duplication)

8 /21

Tile sources organisation

Since now mapsforge vector, mbtiles, wms and tms online/offline resources can be used seamlessly, the old way to present maps didn't make sense any more.

The old way:

default online

local tilesets

mapsforgevector maps

The new way:

all compatibletile sourcesare shown

default online are now mbtiles backed data sources (still added if no source is available) -> data are automatically saved fo offline access

Notes and bookmarks handling

Notes and bookmarks can now be visualized/zoomed to/edited in a dedicated list view.

Decorations... textfactor

For mapsforge vector maps it is now possible to change the maptext factor (default 1) in the preferences.

factor = 1 factor = 2

11/21

Decorations... center cross

Since it is used for notes insertion, it was necessary to make it morevisible and customizable.

The secret view!

In the secret view some advanced options are available.

a demo mode that simulates a gps log for in-house use

different logging levels that write debug messagesinto the project database -> can be sent to the developer to solve strange bugs!

HINT: push the back button often

The database queries view

The database queries view can be used to quickly check some db content
