    OpenAndroMaps,Freizeitkarte or Mapsforge
  2. Store extracted maps in the directory maps or in one of its subdirectories.
    Example: maps/OAM/ contains Alps.map
  3. Store extracted themes in a subdirectory of the directory containing the corresponding maps.
    Example: maps/OAM/OAM/ contains andromaps_cycle.xml, symbols/, patterns/ and other files.

Where to find files?

AAT let's you create and view files in GPX format. This files are exchangeable with many other applications. They can also be edited in a text editor. These and other files are stored in subdirectories of the data directory. You can choose the location of the data directory from the settings. The structure of the data directory is as follows:

Overpass

Overview

AAT lets you query the Overpass API. Any result of a query can be saved to aat_data/overlay. It then can be displayed as an overlay inside the map-view whenever needed.

Example

[amenity=restaurant] will get you list of all restaurants located inside the area that was visible on the map-view before opening the Overpass dialog.

Calculating calories

AAT uses the formula time[hours] * MET * weight[kg] to calculate the kcal used for a specific activity. MET stands for metabolic equivalent. The higher the value, the more energy you would use for this specific activity. A complete list of activities and MET values can be found here.

Both MET and weight can be provided in the settings dialog. The MET value is leading the activity's name. For example: 6.8 bicycling, leisure, moderate effort
