Offline map using mapsforge in android

Question

How can I implement a standalone map in android. I tried this with the mapsforge library. It does not provide a binary map file for Wisconsin. So how to create your own binary map file?

Thanks in advance.

You will need two things:

• a program that allows you to use the mapsforge library. In this regard, you can stick with a program called AdvancedMapViewer, which comes as an example with a library.

• file. In Bascially, you need to create your own map file from OpenStreetMap data. This is done using the plugin for Osmosis. This plugin is described here:

• Osmosis (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis)
