Mobile25 is a mapping application. It was meant to be used on our geocaching trips. The maps are stored as compressed bitmaps on memory card and e.g. the 1:100.000 (TOP100) and 1:25.000 (TOP25) maps of Baden-Württemberg, Germany together require about 700MB of memory card space.

... and with geocaches imported from a GPX file.

Mobile25 supports bluetooth GPS devices and can display the current GPS position on the map.

A simple waypoint system allows to setup and maintain a list of waypoints. Waypoints can be highlighted on the map and the distance and direction from the current GPS position will be shown. Waypoints are displayed in longitude/latitide format as well as in UTM format.

The latest version supports the inclusion of GPX (geocaching) waypoints. To use this feature simply place the GPX files under /PALM/Mobile25/gpx/ on your memory card. You can then import these files into Mobile25 using the menu.

Getting maps

In theory you can convert any digital map in UTM format for use with Mobile25. You just need a converter tool.

Currently only the top25 maps used in german are supported by a converter tool. This tool has only been tested with a few maps (see section below). It is solely based on file format information available in the internet and is provided as is without any guarantee and for private use only.
