Maps on a Stick

Maps on a Stick is a lightweight mapping solution for mobile, unplugged maps.

MapBox tilesets (.mbtiles), KML, GeoRSS, and KMZ files are supported.

Using Maps on a Stick

  1. Download the main maps on a stick application
  2. Run Maps.app on Macintosh or Start MapBox.bat on Windows

Usage

Add map tiles by dropping .mbtiles, .kml, and .kmz (Google Earth) files into the Maps/ folder or specifying a URL in the interface, or uploading files with the web interface.

KMZ Support

Maps on a Stick, unlike bare OpenLayers, supports KMZ files, by simulating their unpacking and using a special KMZ format type to prefix paths so that they resolve. This has only been tested with Icons.

Mac & Windows

  • An .mbtiles mapfile
