If you have the storage and want larger maps, it is suggested that you Note: Use this approach if need offline maps for Navit and YAAC. It will

Here's the approach used for loading a map for the Southwest region in This approach requires that you download the desired `.pbf` OSM files and

considerable amount of time and storage depending on the size of the map.
It is recommended that you limit the source OSM download to your state or
region. As an example, the state of Arizona will be used.
1. Visit [North America](http://download.geofabrik.de/north-america.html). 1. Visit [North America](http://download.geofabrik.de/north-america.html).

file.
3. Upload `us-west-latest.osm.bz2` to your `~/.navit/maps` directory. 3. Download the desired state `.osm.pbf` file (i.e. arizona-latest.osm.pbf)
4. Convert the map to a format that Navit can understand. This will take several hours. ### Generate Navit Map
1. Generate a `.bin` using `maptool`. This will generate `arizona-lastest.osm.bin`.
This can take 5-10 minutes depending on your machine.
``` ```
$ cd ~/.navit/maps maptool --protobuf -i arizona-latest.osm.pbf arizona-lastest.osm.bin
$ time bzcat us-west-latest.osm.bz2 | maptool -6 us-west-latest-osm.bin
``` ```
2. Move the generated `.bin` file to your user's navit map directory.
```
mv arizona-latest.osm.pbf ~/.navit/maps/
```
3. Keep the source `.osm.pbf` as you will need it for the YAAC map import.
### Generate YAAC Map
1. Start YAAC with `et-yaac`.
2. Navigate to _File_ > _OpenStreetMap_ > _Import RAW OSM Map File_.
3. Select the `.osm.bpf` that you downloaded earlier.
4. This will take 5-10 minutes for state-level map files.
