I am in the US, so the information below is for getting and installing US elevation data. There is no elevations in this picture, let’s add them! Adding Elevation Model The map should appear in map files list – right-click on it and select “Activate”: Put the gmapsupp.img file you downloaded into that directory and select the directory in File -> Setup Map Paths in QMapShack. You can also use with QMapShack any *.img map file that works in Garmin (I tried California Topo 24K and it worked fine).Ĭreate a directory for keeping maps, elevations and route data for QMapShack. You can put this file into a Garmin device and have it giving you on-the-fly directions on streets and trails!)

Select your location and select gmapsupp.img format (this is the format for uploading directly to Garmin device.

#QMAPSHACK DOWLOADS INSTALL#

Sudo apt-get install libz-dev libbz2-dev libgraphics-magick-perl Try installing all dependencies via apt-get, but I had to build graphics magick from source. To build routino library, you will need to get/build graphics magick. You will need libroutino and the following dependency packages, though:Īpt-get install libqt5script5 libqt5scripttools5 gdal-bin libgdal-dev libgdal1h python-gdal That said, there is an easy way to install it, by using a Debian package from QMapShack Debian backports page. QMapShack is not in the official Ubuntu package system yet, and there is no ppa to install it directly from the ‘net and maintain updates. UPDATE: Ubuntu 16.04 has Qmapshack in its package repository! Just run “sudo apt install qmapshack” or use you favorite package installer tool.

I am on Linux Mint 17.2 (Mint is based on Ubuntu, which is, in turn, based on Debian). If you’re on Windows or Mac, you may get pre-built installers from QMapShack downloads page. Here is the QMapShack official installation page, just in case. This is an attempt on an end-to-end guide from setting it up to using it to plan trips. I found a perfect solution in QMapShack, a free mapping application for Linux, Windows and Mac, which can also use free map and elevation data. Proprietary $$$ Topo 24k map doesn’t have bike trails, free Opencycle map doesn’t have elevations. Unfortunately, I could not do that with Garmin software, Basecamp. I like having a plan for my hiking and biking trips (Northern California), to have an idea about their length and aggregated climb, and also to have a track in my GPS to stop wondering if I am taking the right route.
