I recently shifted maps and waypoints from Delorme Xmap to QGIS on my Mac and wish to use iPhone/iGIS as the GPS (together with the Garmin GLO receiver). Everything is good in QGIS, but I need USGS topos as the base maps in iGIS, not the generic Google stuff used by iGIS. The app wants users to create tiled KML maps with MapTiler, which has a free version and pricier ones. I did create the tiles in MapTiler and they open just fine in Google Earth, but 1) the quality is very poor and 2) iGIS does not succeed in importing them. Seems like a very basic operation. Has anyone done this with any success?
[I should add that iGIS appears to be the only iPhone app out there that works with shapefiles and which reads / sends them to and from the Dropbox. This is important because QGIS only allows editing of waypoints in a shapefile layer (not CVS or GPX). If one creates the QGIS layer directly from the shapefile in the desktop Dropbox, the app communicates seamlessly with the desktop and waypoints are easily updated on both systems. If there is another iPhone app out there that does this, please let me know.]
