Maps for the Kobo-Navi

These maps can be used with the Navigation App that comes with the Kobo-XCSoar-Launcher.

Update procedure:

  • download a Zip-archive (Country.zip) of interest
  • unpack it on your harddisk
    • in subdirectory koNav a file .X_Country-maps.sqfs-img will be created it is a disk image file for a loop-device with squashfs filesystem. Be aware, that the filename starts with a dot. It is a hidden file on windows computers
  • switch your Kobo on
  • tap on "Application"
  • tap on "Kobo", let the E-Reader start
  • connect the cable from Kobo to your PC, a dialog appears on the Kobo
  • tap on "Connect" on the dialog at the Kobo, the USB-storage appears on your PC
  • copy the squash-image the koNav-subdirectory on the Kobo USB-storage
  • safely "remove USB Hardware" on your PC
  • unplug the USB cable, restart the Kobo
  • after starting the OSM-Navi application tap on the "wrench"-button, then on "Map Modules". The newly downloaded country should be avalaible in the routing- and rendering dropdown boxes. Maybe you need to clear the upper right dropdown box which filters for car, bicycle or pedestrian maps.
