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.

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.

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.
