Im going to Europe tomorrow and wanted to upload some maps to my iphone.

The bloody thing keeps compressing the hell out of them and they become unreadable.

I have winSCP or whatever its called, but cant figure how to just directly copy the files so that they are viewable.

Please help :shrug:

Try simply e-mailing yourself. Sometimes you can view files that are in e-mails. That may work.

Let us know!

Will try that now!

Download the application Datacase, it will allow you to put any files you like on your phone.

Isn't there an app or GPS for it in Europe?

Nope, doest zoom.

I can put any file there, but how can i view it?

There are google maps which work on edge. Roaming charges for internet are silly, so i have to like buy a sim card which is a bit of a hassle...

Try "FileMagnet", you can drop and drop files into your iphone that way and can zoom.

I got Windows unfortunately

You might just have to buy a map when you get there! Or print one now and carry it with you.

Yeah i guess so iphone sucks sometimes

Hello Val

The best way to display an image so that detail is preserved on the iPhone is to save your map in HTML. Then use some sort of "suitcase" utility like Filemagnet to allow you to load the file to the iPhone and access it without having a network.

I have not personally tried any of the suitcase apps, but in theory this should work.
