Offline maps

When XAMN has internet connectivity, it automatically fetches maps from an online OpenStreetMap service to display extracted locations on a map.

If your computer is not connected to the internet, XAMN only has basic coastlines information by default. Download and install regional map packs to be able to use detailed maps when you are offline. The offline maps are also based on OpenStreetMap.

Note: To use offline maps you must download the regional map packs from the MSAB Customer Portal and store them either locally on your computer or on a shared server.
