Quick answer

Display geografic information from url or local gpx/kml file in a map

F-Droid repository metadata

The app has support for GPX and KML files, as well as the "geo URI scheme" and popular map services (google-maps, openstreetmap, yandex, ...).

It can work offline (without Internet/WiFi) once geodata has been downloaded and cached.

Other Android apps can use LocationMapViewer through an Intent-interface.

Required Android Permissions:

* INTERNET: to download map data from Open Streetmap Server * ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE and ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: to find out if wifi/internet is online to start downloaded geodata * WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (to cache downloaded map data in local file system and to load gpx/kml-Files to be displayed in the map) * ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION: to display my own location in the map

How to install

  1. Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
  2. Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
  3. Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
  4. If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.
