Using Offline Maps

Offline Maps enables precise mission planning in remote areas with limited or no internet coverage.

Requirements

To use this feature, the offline map must be downloaded to the GCS while an internet connection is active. Alternatively, a previously generated offline map can also be imported.

Only offline map files generated in AMC are compatible.

Download offline Map

In the Settings menu, under Offline Maps, locate the option "Add New Set".

AMC will display the last used map area and allows you to select the region required.

On the left side, a preview of the "Minimal & Maximal Zoom" is displayed.

Using the sliders on the right side, you can adjust the zoom as needed. The greater the zoom difference, the larger the files will be, and the longer the download will take.

Additional options include "Map Type" and "Elevation provider".

AMC offers a variety of maps. The following are recommended:

Map Type: Google Maps or Bing.

Elevation provider: Copernicus Elevation.

Import offline maps

This feature allows the user to import previously generated maps from external memory devices.

After selecting "Import" choose between "Append to existing set" or "Replace existing set".

"Append to existing set" allows you to merge an previously created offline map with different characteristics into an existing locally stored map with same geolocation.

"Replace existing set" will permanently replace a map having the same geolocation.

Exporting offline maps

This option allows you to store an offline map in a designated folder or external memory unit, enabling it to be uploaded to different GCS.

After selecting the maps to export and choosing "Export", you can specify the location where the files should be stored and assign a name.
