12. Map Downloads
Define an area of the map along with a range of zoom levels to pre-load onto your
iPhone for offline access. Once downloaded, these tiles will be saved in MotionX-GPS
permanently unless you choose to delete them. Map tile sets are not included in iTunes
backups unless you configure to do so in Setup>Maps.
Go to Setup>Map Downloads to access the map download interface. Downloaded maps
are defined by an area along with a range of zoom levels to download, for use when a
network connection is unavailable. Once downloaded, map tile sets are saved in
MotionX-GPS permanently unless you manually delete them. Map types available for
download include MotionX Terrain (based on
OpenCycleMap
), MotionX Road (based on
OpenStreetMap
), and
NOAA
marine charts.
Map downloads and map caching are similar but distinct features. Both improve map
performance and enable offline map viewing.
Map caching
automatically saves tiles
viewed on the Maps page as you pan and zoom. The cache limit is 250 MB; beyond this
limit the oldest cached tiles are overwritten as new tiles are cached. Cached maps are
not stored with iTunes backups, and my be cleared via Setup>Maps.
