| 1 | This web app is mainly targeted at mobile devices and intended for people |
| 2 | finding their way around as well as documenting travels. |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Maps are being displayed in default "Mapnik" OpenStreetMap style by default, |
| 5 | but other styles like Cycle Map or Transport Map are available. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | The second feature is "tracking" of locations, meaning the ability to display |
| 8 | your location and record a track of your movements for documentation. |
| 9 | This track (most useful if you have a GPS receiver in or connected to your |
| 10 | device) can be saved in GPX format. You can use those saved files with many |
| 11 | applications to display them and show others where you have been or e.g. edit |
| 12 | OpenStreetMap on the basis of that recorded information. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Note that Lantea Maps does not send any location data to anyone else, it's |
| 15 | recorded locally on your device only. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | The app name "Lantea" is based on a fictional mostly-ocean planet in the |
| 18 | "Stargate: Atlantis" TV series, on which the Ancients placed the artificial |
| 19 | "island" city of Atlantis. |
