Add maps to qmapshack3/30/2023 ![]() Getting used to QMapShack is a bit a challenge coming from QuoVadis, but the Wiki help pages allowed a quick start. Fortunately, QMapShack supports Garmin vector maps, the only maps that are (as far as I know) available digitally for Japan. Dealing with GPS units is not a problem, this is the easy part. QMapShack is far from as feature rich as QuoVadis, but as far as I see now, it does have enough features for me and my mountaineering in Japan. So for most of the GPS work I had to reboot my laptop to Windows, do my stuff there, and then switch back to Linux. For some time I had a VirtualBox installation of Windows, but that was more a clutch than anything else. For serious work as a professional it was indispensable for me. I could use the digital raster maps of Austria, Switzerland (SwissTOPO), Germany, France, Italy, as well as Garmin vector maps. While working as mountain guide in Europe it was an essential tool for me. It is extremely feature-rich, and above all it can work with many different maps. QuoVadis is a great program, there is nothing to complain. Let us start with the program I was using since ages, and still are using, QuoVadis. Fortunately, Garmin Maps are supported, and since all my maps regarding Japan are Garmin maps, I am now in the process to converting to QMapShack at least for my Japan GPS data. The one big difference is of course the set of maps one can use with QMapShack. ![]() QMapShack is very similar in the target audience, but very different in usage. It only has one disadvantage, it doesn’t work on Linux. ![]() QuoVadis is a great program, able to work with various commercial digital maps as well as GPS receivers.
