If you have downloaded a file in KML file format in our EXTRAS portion of the website, here is detailed instructions of the process to add it as an overlay for your Iceland map:


  1. Download the KML file

  2. To move the file to your correct Overlay folder on your device. Go first to Global settings > App storage and see the location given for "KMZ/KML/SHP overlays directory". Add the file into that given folder.

  3. Open OruxMaps and click the Map icon and select Overlay option -> Manage overlays

  4. A "Tweak Overlay" drawer should open from the bottom, press the 2nd button with the plus sign

  5. It will ask "Do you want to load a new overlay", press YES button and then select the KML file and press OK


That's it!
