Offline map is available only in GPX Viewer PRO.

The offline map is a map that can be used when the device is not connected to the internet, however, it also works when the device is connected to the internet. But you first need to download them to your device. GPX Viewer PRO currently support only offline map data which can be downloaded directly in GPX Viewer PRO, it does not support custom 3rd party offline map data as of yet. These offline map data are based on OpenStreetMap data. Basically, when you download some offline map data, in reality, you download raw vector, hillshade, and contours data for this offline map. These data need to be styled in order to be shown on the map. GPX Viewer PRO supports several offline map styles as shown in the screenshot below. Currently, it does not contain a style that is similar to the default OpenStreetMap map style, but we are working on adding this style to GPX Viewer PRO.

Here you can find the tutorial how to work with offline map in GPX Viewer PRO. If you encounter problems that downloaded data for the offline map are not shown, please refer to this help page.
