Atlas Manual
Atlas is the core programme behind RouteBuddy’s applications for iOS devices (iPhone, iPad and iPod touch).
These being:
- Atlas
- SOLO products
This manual provides information on how to install maps into the Atlas app and it also provides guidance on how to use both Atlas and SOLO apps available form the iTunes store.
If you have arrived at this page because you have downloaded a RouteBuddy topo* map to use on your iOS device, then please ensure you have installed the RouteBuddyAtlas app from the iTunes store on your device before you start the process.
Once you have downloaded and installed the Atlas app you can close iTunes, the process to install the map in Atlas does not involve using iTunes.
Please follow the instructions for map installation according to the operating system you have downloaded the map to (Windows or Mac). Follow the links below for installation or use the menu on the right side of the page.
*Note: RouteBuddy Road maps cannot be used in Atlas for iOS. Please cache tiles from the on-line maps contained within the Atlas app for road use.
Atlas
The Atlas free download version is available from the iTunes store and enables you to access OpenStreetMap on-line maps and any topographic off-line maps (e.g. Ordnance Survey or USGS) that you purchase either from the RouteBuddy Store or one of our approved vendors such as the Ordnance Survey Map Store.
All maps you purchase for Atlas can also be used in the desktop application RouteBuddy.
Solo
Atlas is the basis of RouteBuddy Solo apps available on the iTunes store which enable simple “download and go” of the application with built-in Ordnance Survey maps, negating the need to transfer maps from your computer to the application.
Please note that the built-in maps in our Solo apps cannot be used with RouteBuddy Atlas for iOS or RouteBuddy for Mac or Windows
