Loading maps to your unit

Maps for MVP are stored in file formats with a .dmm or .dmc file extension.

Android:

DrDepth MVP will automatically create a folder named 'drdepth' on the SD card on your Android unit.

Place your .dmm or .dmc map files in this folder.

Note: on some Android units the internal flash memory is reported as 'sdcard' to the system - on those units the 'drdepth' folder will be placed there.

iOS (iPhone/iPad):

Connect the unit to your PC/Mac and start iTunes. In iTunes:

Select your device in the left pane.
Click 'Apps' (or 'Program' depending on the language) in the upper menu in the right pane.
Go down to 'File sharing'.
Select DrDepth MVP and 'Add' the .dmm or .dmc files.

Handling waypoints

To edit a waypoint, point and hold it on the map page - a popup will be displayed with options.
All waypoints are stored in a file named 'mvpwpt.dwp' which is located in the same folder as the maps. The waypoint file can be edited externally. If you do modifications, use Waypoints->Manage->Reload from the settings page to read the new file. You can use the DrDepth PC application to manage your waypoints for MVP. The 'mvpwpt.dwp' file can be imported and exported/generated directly from the waypoint manager.

Sharing maps and waypoints

Data can be shared between devices and users by uploading data to an intermediate server. Contents can then be accessed by other users/devices:

Upload waypoint: Point and hold a waypoint you would like to share (on the map page), select Share/Upload from the popup.
Download waypoint: From the settings page, go to Waypoints->Manage->Download.
Upload map: From the settings page, go to Waypoints->Pick map. Point and hold the map you would like to upload.
Download map: From the settings page, go to Waypoints->Pick map->Download.

All uploads are given a key number that is used to download the data from a different device.

Note: Storage on the server is temporary. Contents will be deleted after 24h.
