Dear all,

I created offline .mbtiles map to show survey locations (using my shape file and Openstreet Map), when I show map using following function without internet connection map renders and lower left corner it displays "Google". How do I remove Google label.
function viewMap ()
numeric zoomLevel=NN;
map blockMap;
blockMap.setBaseMap("xxxxxx.mbtiles");
blockMap.show();
end; // viewMap
Thanks in advance

It is not possible to remove the Google label. The label is there because even with an offline map CSEntry uses the Google Map SDK to display the map and the SDK always adds the Google label.

Hi Josh,
Do you have a plan for allow us to use open source offline and mobile ability such as Mapbox SDK and/or Leaflet?
Leaflet for example allow displaying on Desktop browser.

Please let us know about.
Best Regards,

We support the MBTiles and ArchGIS Tile Package formats. MBTiles was originally developed by Mapbox and is open format. We don't currently have plans to expand the supported formats.

Hi Aaron,
My message concerning more Mapping SDK rather than offline map file format.

Josh already think about Geopackage (https://github.com/CSProDevelopment/AndroidOfflineMaps), who can support vector, (for example Area of interest or other enumeration area...). So, we hope to have another offline map file format in the future!

So, i rather right now, think about open source mapping such as leaflet (not a such Mapbox who're pricing...), who will not oblige their logo (as Google does) and, a much more, allow to be displayed on desktop.

Best Regards,

I believe Josh was prototyping different mapping solutions and picked one. I don't believe he has any intentions of creating another implementation with another SDK.
