OkMap Video Tutorials for GPX, GPS Maps, and Outdoor Navigation
Introduction
OkMap Desktop video tutorials show how to use GPS mapping software to plan hiking routes, create and edit GPX files, manage waypoints and points of interest, georeference raster maps, use DEM (Digital Elevation Model) data, and work with web maps and GPS devices.
Through practical step-by-step guides, you will learn how to prepare routes for hiking, trekking, mountain biking, search and rescue, and other outdoor activities, analyze GPS tracks, calculate distances and elevation gains, create Garmin Custom Maps, download maps for offline use, and visualize terrain in 3D.
The tutorials cover both basic functions and advanced OkMap tools, including web mapping, georeferencing, coordinate systems, SRTM and DEM elevation data, waypoint management, and GPX track handling, enabling you to make the most of the software for navigation, mapping, and terrain analysis.
