It is possible to export the merchants displayed on the map and import them into a mapping application such as CoMaps, which works even without an internet connection.
This tutorial walks you through the steps required to access merchant data at any time, whether you are traveling, on a train, or without network access.
Export Merchants from the Map
Select your search filters on the map page, or leave them unchanged to export all merchants.
In this example, we will export Monero merchants located in France.
Open the menu by clicking on the three vertical dots, then click Download merchants.
Open CoMaps
Open the CoMaps application on your smartphone.
Open Bookmarks and Tracks
From the map view, click on the star icon in the bottom menu to access the Bookmarks and tracks screen.
Import the GPX File
In the options menu, select Import bookmarks and tracks.
Browse to the .gpx file you just downloaded (usually located in your device’s Downloads folder) and select it. The import process will start automatically.
View Imported Merchants
Once imported, merchants will appear on the map.
You can now view or edit them for offline navigation.
Hide or Show Imported Merchants
To hide the newly imported merchants, click again on the star icon at the bottom of the map and uncheck the small green eye icon on the left side of the imported file entry.
Click the eye icon again to display them.
