Description:
Mobile25 is a mapping application, it was meant to be used on our geocaching trips.
The maps are stored as compressed bitmaps on memory card and e.g. the 1:100.000 (TOP100) and 1:25.000 (TOP25) maps of Baden-Württemberg, Germany together require about 700MB of memory card space.
Mobile25 supports bluetooth GPS devices and can display the current GPS position on the map.
A simple waypoint system allows to setup and maintain a list of waypoints. Waypoints can be highlighted on the map and the distance and direction from the current GPS position will be shown. Waypoints are displayed in longitude/latitide format as well as in UTM format.
The latest version supports the inclusion of GPX (geocaching) waypoints. To use this feature simply place the GPX files under /PALM/Mobile25/gpx/ on your memory card. You can then import these files into Mobile25 using the menu.
Getting maps:
In theory you can convert any digital map in UTM format for use with Mobile25. You just need a converter tool.
Currently only the top25 maps used in German are supported by a converter tool. This tool has only been tested with a few maps. It is solely based on file format information available in the internet and is provided as is without any guarantee and for private use only.
