We transitioned the file format for the images in our climbing-topo app from a pile of files to SQLite (the images are tiled).

Going from having high hundreds of tiny files on disk per topo photo to just one was an incredible boon to productivity for things like data backup and transferring files onto the device for testing.

Tell me more about your app

    It acts as a digital window into our print guidebook catalogue. The books are mostly for the uk, with the rest spread across Europe.

    I take the finished desktop-publishing documents and extract and package the data to put into the app, including tiling the images so we can have very high resolution photos on low-end devices.

    There's a semi-technical article about the topo-view implementation here:
