Upload tiles to a server?

I have created some maps I'd like to use on my iPhone. Motion-X GPS allows custom map tile url's. Is it possible, using global mapper, to upload my map as tiles on a server that I could access with my iPhone? Thanks

There are a number of iPhone apps that can use tiled maps exported out of Global Mapper. The most commonly supported tile format that is supported on mobile devices are the RMaps and MBTiles exports available with the File->Export->Export Web Format menu command.

Are there any map server services that would allow me to uploads my own tiles? The app I am trying to use requires a url to access the tiles. Thanks!

There are some map apps for iPhone at Rmaps For Iphone - Map Plus (Offline, zMap Lite that should allow custom maps. I'm not sure about server capabilities though. I believe Avenza also has an iPhone app that allows you to load GeoPDF files from the cloud, including those exported from Global Mapper.

I'm not really looking for an app, I have one that I really like. Just trying to figure out how I can take the maps I made in Global Mapper and access them via a map server url.

It really depends on what kind of sources the app you have can access? The web exports from Global Mapper include several commonly used web tile formats, like Google Maps and Bing Maps tiles, but unless your app can add URLs tiled to those pseudo-standards it wouldn't do much good. You should check with the app providers to see what they support.
