Is it possible to use/buy the Austrian Map (ÖK50) from BEV?

Dear Petr!

Thank you for your fast reply! I saw the benefits for SAR-Teams, but this is only necessary if we install Locus in our Landy, so that our members are familiar with it on their phones and the tablett in the car.

As far as the maps are concerned, most of austrian civil organisationes use the official BEV-Maps, all trainings are based on them. Basemap and special basemap-satellite is a big aid but only a addon.

QuoVadis can export maps in many formats (see attachment). Is there one that can be used by locus?

Yours

CompeRMAP ist the only format working in Locus.

Btw: BEV has an own app which is able to use their ÖK maps. But this app by far is not as powerful as Locus. It's a pity that BEV is't offering their map tiles to use in other apps like e.g. Kompass is doing.

For CompeRMAP-Export is a Device-Key needed (required by Compe), then you can export the whole map. In our case is no disadvantage for Compe, but QuoVadis isn´t allowed to export without it.

Better than the BEV-App is ApeMap, where the downloadable BEV-Tiles for whole austria cost only 9,99€. The UI is very eccentric and many features are missing. Therefore i hoped to use locus in future.

We'd probably contact BEV and ask for cooperation but I checked our catalog of wanted maps and it seems that BEV maps aren't required by our users. There is already a feature request but only with one vote https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/adding-bev-maps-to-the-list-of-available-maps.

I'm not familiar with QuoVadis but have your tried to export the map to 'MapBox tiles', please? BTW: are you able to obtain BEV maps as georeferenced raster (e.q. geotiff)?

The Export lasts with an error. I try to find a solution. ( I´ll be back :-) )

Sorry, i am not able to obtain BEV-Maps as georeferenced raster.

I see. I wanted to say that Locus also supports the .mbtiles format and this format (raster) should be supported by several GIS programs...

The Map of BEV is at a Scale of 1:50,000 and a Raster-Map with "low" Resolution.

At this Scale they can´t add all available details to the Map.

Today basically much of the available Data is first in Vector format. Then some of this Vector-Data is used to generate the Raster-Map.

For me the better way is to use Vector-Maps. Yes i also use a Raster-Map: my Hillshade Map where i see nearby all details of Terrain. (Raster-Map with 0.5m Resolution)

I understand the Argumentation for the ÖK50 Map. But maybe Try to use Basemap.at as overlay (Multiplicated) to LoMaps in Ski Theme. (LoMaps as Main Map and as additional Layer use Overlayed basemap.at)

I did download a Region of Basemap locally. (so it works offline)

I am interested in which Region of Austria you need a Map ? In Vorarlberg i maybe can helpe you with the map i created. And in Salzburg are also detailled Height-Models available, ready to create a detailled Hillshade.
