INSTALLATION & USAGE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

ENGLISH:
********

OruxMaps:
---------

As the apps change their user interface from time to time I only describe the basic steps that are necessary. For more detailed steps please use the help of the app.

Quick install (recommended for supported apps):
- Open http://www.openandromaps.org/en/legend/elevate-mountain-hike-theme in a browser on your android device.
- Touch the name of your app in the column "Install in Android" below "Downloads" in the "Elevate 5" table.

Choose map style (essential):
- It's not enough to install the map style, it is also necessary to select it in the app.
- Please look in the app help how this is done exactly.
- Most apps also support the map style options menu, that allows to choose the different maps styles like hiking, cycling, MTB and city, as well as individual options for tweaking the map style.
- Elevate is the right choice for most maps; Elements is made for sparsely populated/mapped areas or countries, mostly backcountry usage, e.g. the outback of Australia, Iceland outside of the cities etc.

Manual install (advanced):
- If it's an update of existing Elevate map themes: remove all old files and folders.
- Unzip Elevate.zip with an Android file explorer to the mapstyle folder specified by the app.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

DEUTSCH:
********

Da die Apps immer wieder ihre Oberfläche ändern werden hier nur die grundsätzlichen Schritte beschrieben, die notwendig sind. Bitte für genaueres Vorgehen die Hilfe der App nutzen.

Schnellinstallation (empfohlen für unterstützte Apps):
- Öffne http://www.openandromaps.org/kartenlegende/elevation-hike-theme in einem Browser auf dem Android Gerät.
- Drücke auf den Namen deiner App in der Spalte "Schnellinstallation unter Android" unterhalb von "Downloads" in der "Elevate 5" Tabelle.

Kartenstil auswählen (wichtig):
- Es reicht nicht aus, den Kartenstil zu installieren, er muss auch noch in der App ausgewählt werden. 
- Wie genau das geht bitte in der App Hilfe nachschlagen.
- Die meisten Apps unterstüzten auch noch das Kartenstil Options Menü, in dem die verschiedenen Kartenstile wie Wandern, Fahrrad, MTB oder Stadt ausgewählt werden können, sowie einzelne Optionen um den Kartenstil zu ändern.
- Elevate ist für die meisten Karte die richtige Wahl; Elements ist für spärlich bewohnte/kartografierte Gebiete oder Länder, also in erster Linie Hinterland, geeignet, z.B. das Outback von Australien, Island außerhalb der Städte etc.

Manuelle Installation (fortgeschritten):
- Wenn es ein Update von bisherigen Elevate Kartenthemen ist: lösche alle alten Dateien und Ordner.
- Entpacke die Zip-Datei mit einem Android Datei Explorer in den durch die App festgelegten Kartenstil-Ordner.-------------------------------------------------------------------------
