In order to use Serbiamap.Net maps, you should have mobile device based on Symbian operating system, along with java virtula machine installed (most mobile phones have Java engin installed by default). By using program MGMaps (free GPS application able to use map tile from multiple map servers) one can display those maps for free.

MGMaps application can be found from official download page:

   MGMaps official site - http://www.mgmaps.com

Installation instructions can be found there as well.

MGMaps can be used in both online and offline mode (without Internet connection). In the first case, application is set to use map tiles from Serbiamap.Net server and no further content installation is required - simlplu connect to the Internet, start the application and select Serbiamap.Net maps to display. If you have GPS receiver present on your device, you may use GPS positionint capability (this can be perform with external receiver as well, using Bluetooth connection). In order to use maps in offline mode, one should transfer the map content to your device.

A. In the main menu, select Settings/Map Types, and the click the 'Add custom map' button. In order to use new map type, enter the following entries :

Map Type Name (case sensitive) : Serbiamap.Net
Map Type URL : http://www.serbiamap.net/Tiles.ashx

Save the new settings, and after this your device is ready to use maps in online mode. Restart MGMaps application, connect to the Internet, use the "0" key to switch between various map types until you find "Serbiamap.Net" (displayed in the lower-right corner of the screen).

using map in offline mode :

1. download the free Serbia GPS map files :

Map of Serbia :

City maps :

2. Unzip the MGMapsCache.zip file on your PC. You should get the folder named "MGMapsCache".

3. Connect your mobile device with your PC. Create folder "Temp" on the root directory of the memory card, if there is not one. Transfer the "MGMapsCache" folder to the "Temp" folder of the SD card. SD card is usually seen as "E:\" - so, the conten of the map should reside in "E:\Temp\MGMapsCache" folder

Note: initial recommendation stated that map content should be placed in the root folder of memory card (default setting of the MGMaps application). However, certain phone models try to cache this folder when using the phone "Gallery" application, which may be time consuming process due to the large number of map tiles. Hence, our new recommendation is for maps to be installed "E:\Temp\MGMapsCache" folder. This also implies the change in Settings in paragraph 5. (please, note this as well). We kindly thank our users for this suggestion.

4. Startup the MGMaps application on your phone. If not done previously, you should add the new map type, using the instructions under A.

5. From the main menu, select "Menu/Settings/Map Browsing". Check the "Stored Maps" option , and enter the path to the map folder in "Storage Path" field - "E:\Temp\MGMapsCache". Click "Save" and go back to the main application screen.

6. Restart the application. You should be able to see the maps in offline mode. Note : it has been reported that some phone models require access permission each time when map tile is to be read from the SD card. This detail is not related to the application, but to your phone settings - you may set this in the Application Manager of your phone, where you can set the permanent "Read User Data" permission to the MGMaps application.
