ArxSilex MapTools

ArxSilex MapTools combines online/offline maps, GPS/GNSS, tracking, route planning, bearings, terrain analysis, and projects on Android. Compass, satellite status, BLE groups, Remote ID, and AR/LiveView require device support. Maps, services & offline work Manage local maps, POIs, and elevation data in slots/profiles on the device, SD, or USB storage. Use HTTPS sources for XYZ, OSGeo-TMS, WMS, WMTS, and OGC API Tiles/Maps as basemaps or overlays. Capabilities/XML supports WMS/WMTS testing and repair. OGC API Features/WFS supplies read-only layers and search by source, category, and radius. Copy or share InfoTap/GetFeatureInfo reports, or save them as TXT/PDF. Supported CRSs are reprojected locally. Offline Mode blocks MapTools internet access. Separate Google/OSM blocks keep custom services available. Radio Silence stops the app's Wi-Fi/BLE, Remote ID, and group functions; local tools still work. External data and map styles are not included; providers set costs, registration, licensing, attribution, and caching rules. GPS, navigation & objects Place markers by tap/crosshair. Manage POIs, routes, tracks, bearings, circles, areas, and search grids. Coordinate formats, position averaging, POI search, and object browser/filters support fieldwork. Assign images, PDFs, audio, and notes to objects/projects and optionally export them. Plan, edit, follow, and monitor routes; start loops anywhere and choose the routing source. Daylight forecasts use elevation profiles, grade, personal pace, local times/time zones, and mark light transitions. Tracking stores distance, times, pauses, GPX segments, statistics, and GPS/GNSS/RTK quality. Profiles/intervals control recording. Interrupted tracks are restored; correct their end by map, point, or time. Bearings/cross-bearings provide direction, distance, intersection, quality, and accuracy range. Resumable search grids, coverage strips, and areas support planning/documentation. Elevation data provides profiles, hillshade, contours, view ranges, terrain/Moon shadow, and route/track sunlight/shadow. Offline astronomy shows Sun/Moon directions, monthly overview, phases, twilight, planets, and stars. Sunlight/shadow analysis needs suitable local elevation data active in the map slot; the monthly view does not. Object alarms & background location While the app is visible, alarms monitor markers, circles, areas, and routes with configurable signaling and snooze/stop. Enabled marker/circle alarms may use precise location while the app is closed; Google Play services monitor geofences locally. The app does not send location to its own servers, use it for ads/usage analytics, or create an alarm location history. Import, export & projects Import GPX, KML/KMZ, GeoJSON, ArcGIS/Esri JSON, CSV/TSV/TXT, Shapefile and map ZIPs, Mapsforge maps/POIs, MBTiles, GeoPackage, GeoTIFF, and HGT, ASC, or DTED elevation data. Known CRSs are converted to WGS84; others are rejected. Large datasets run in the background with database-backed processing; updates retain slots/settings. Export projects as .asmaps and data as GPX, KML/KMZ, GeoJSON, CSV, QR code, or report. Backups use .asmaps.backup. Attachments are optional; backups/compressed QR codes can be password protected. Credentials are encrypted; passwords, API keys, and tokens are not backed up. Privacy & Pro Your data stays local until you export, share, or go online. MapTools requires no MapTools account, shows no ads, uses no analytics or ad-tracking services, and creates no usage profiles. Pro features or higher limits require a one-time Google Play unlock. Notes Accuracy and availability depend on the device, sensors, reception, Android, permissions, and data source. MapTools does not replace official maps, incident command, aviation approvals, safety procedures, or professional navigation in critical situations.
