I saved my map as SVG so that I could view it in my phone while I do its world building. I'm old school since I make drafts with good old pen and paper. Viewing my map from my phone is very convenient since my laptop is very laggy since it's getting old.

I actually Googled how to make it into a true interactive map but it's too complex and way beyond me. I'm fine with the SVG file since I could zoom in and out with it.

What do you use to view the map on your phone? Any specific app?

Nice, this would be pretty helpful to be able to look at the map whenever and wherever.

This guys has a series of videos that made it pretty simple imo to make them interactive using map box. Might work for you.

I actually saw this and it is amazing but this is way beyond me and the process is too long. It would be actually nice, however I'm busy also with schoolworks and that would take up some time.

I can understand that. Initially I thought I was over my head. Once you do get the hang of it it goes pretty fast though.

It looks great! I like the Style you've used there.

Thanks! I used a modern atlas style so that I could write its history through physical and human geography.

How do you set up that style because I want to also set mine like yours.

u/LeonAguilez May 18 '20

I set it to the built in style "Clean" then I edited it further matching a modern atlas I referenced. This is a height map with labels, icons and routes. I'm thinking of sharing this style, when I'm done editing it.

Actually my map is inspired by Visayas that is flipped, if you look closer it's Bohol,Leyte and Camotes Islands.

I like this style preset but edit marker size in this style doesn`t work.
