OkMap – GPS Mapping Software for Outdoor Navigation and Route Planning

Georeference your paper maps and turn them into digital maps that can be used on your GPS with OkMap Desktop.
Use a scanner to get your digital maps, preferably in a print shop for better results.
Use OkMap Desktop's calibration function to match each pixel of the map with the corresponding geographic coordinates.
OkMap uses the most popular projection algorithms in the world. It also has a complete list of datums and projections from the official EPSG database.
Get digital maps and topographic maps from web services available on the Internet, automatically georeferenced without any manual operation.
Convert your map into the formats used by portable GPS devices (e.g. Garmin) and create offline maps that can be used even without an Internet connection.

Draw your routes (tracks) using your digital maps, topographic maps or web maps available on the Internet as background.
Use the different tools available in the software: drawing manual point by point, freehand drawing, automatic routing functions (even on trails) and geocoding.
Edit your GPX tracks using advanced editing tools that allow you to add or remove one or more points, the calculation of the inverse track, the union of multiple tracks, the division of a track into multiple tracks, the segments management, the automatic simplification of points, altitudes and much more.
OkMap automatically assigns the altitudes of the track points using the previously downloaded altimetry data (DEM). Automatically calculates travel times using an algorithm which considers your training and the slopes of the track.
Save your tracks in GPX format and transfer them to your GPS.
Take the recorded tracks from your GPS and load them into OkMap.

Navigate along your itineraries using OkMap Mobile, an app for Android. It is your reliable companion for your outdoor adventures.
Follow your itineraries safely, a warning will tell you if you are going off course.
Use maps provided by web services or, when no network connection is available, your favorite offline maps created with OkMap Desktop.
Record the track while you walk a trail and/or follow a trail previously registered or created manually.
View waypoints, tracks and routes on the map; if you are traveling along a path, the recording track is drawn in real time.
An on-board computer will provide you all the information you need, including graphs with slopes and differences in height.
Uses a compass with voice support for pointing and a augmented reality function that displays surrounding waypoints in the camera of the device.

Produce statistics from the tracks drawn or recorded, for evaluate your performance and performed activities.
View all the important information: distances, times, altitudes, elevation changes, speed, intervals, gradients, and numerous estimates such as sun exposure, temperature, fatigue, calories burned, weight loss, and water consumption. The software uses algorithms that correctly evaluate elevation changes and travel times, taking into account distances and gradients.
Compare two or more tracks to immediately evaluate, even via graphs, your performance progress.

It is an architecture in which map apps (OkMap Desktop, OkMap Mobile and potentially other apps) can send their position, waypoints and points of interest (POI) (with or without photos) to one or more recipients (OkMap Desktop, OkMap Mobile and potentially other apps).
Communication takes place via a Web Server which acts as a concentrator.
The web server collects data from the apps that transmit them and sends them to the recipient apps as soon as they request them (in real time or even at a later time).
A sender can send to multiple recipients, and each recipient can receive data from multiple senders.
To obtain all this you need to install the Web Server set up for this purpose at a provider.
You need a domain associated with a Windows Hosting space, a Microsoft SQL Server database and an SSL certificate.
You will be able to share the service with your friends or colleagues to exchange information and therefore, if you want, also split the costs.
Nowadays the costs are very low, in the order of a few tens of euros per year.
The data is encrypted via the SSL protocol and is protected by authentication with credentials (user and password) which must be entered in the app preferences.
