The Serval Maps application is an Android based application that is designed to provide support for collaborative mapping activities using the resilient Ad Hoc mesh network provided by the main Serval Software.

The application was started as a result of an honours student project in 2011 at Flinders University and has since gone on to become a valuable contribution to the Serval ecosystem.

The source code for the application is available via a GitHub repository.

Development updates will be posted to this blog as time permits.

If you're interested in the project, please contact Corey Wallis who is the lead developer for the software, and is the honours student who started the original project in 2011.

2. Map File Tester - a utility application designed to test a series of mapsforge map data files.
3. OSM PBF Metadata - a utility application designed to output metadata for OpenStreetMap files in the PBF format
4. OSM PBF Bounding Box Split - a utility application designed to output information required to split OpenStreetMap files in the PBF format into four smaller equal sized quadrants

The Serval Maps Bridge Template application provides the basis for integration of Serval Maps with another website or service.

The Serval Maps Data Manipulator is an application designed to undertake a variety of different tasks using the data created and collected by the Serval Maps application. More information on the application is available in this wiki.

The Serval Maps website contains visualisations of maps and data collected using Serval Applications. Serval Maps Licences contains information on licences used in these visualisations and on the website itself. There is also a section describing Configurations used for the visualisations.
