## Offline Maps
|
|
|
|
The Meshtastic app for iOS, iPadOS and macOS supports the sharing of a .mbtiles file with the app for offline map support.
|
|
|
|
There is an open source cross platform mapping program call [QGIS](https://www.qgis.org/en/site/)
|
|
|
|
to get a mbtiles out of qgis, start with a small area that you are familiar with. Open qgis, and add a openstreetmap source from the left bar (might be under one of the tile headings). Now you should see something in the main map view. zoom to the area you want.
|
|
|
|
In the Processing Toolbox (right bar, you may have to show it from the View menu), open Raster Tools > Generate XYZ Tiles (MBTiles)
|
|
|
|
In Extent, choose Use Map Canvas Extent. This defines the area of the map that will be rendered into the export file
|
|
Use a zoom level of 12-17. You can play with this later, but thats a good starting point. Note that every increment of maximum zoom will increase the map size 4x.
|
|
Select JPG if there's aerial/satellite imagery, otherwise just use PNG. That will give the best compression.
|
|
|
|
Finally choose a location for the output file. Click Run and you should eventually get a file that should play nice in the Meshtastic app.
