I think there might be some confusion here. The primary use of OsmAndMapCreator is to take OSM data (either from a supplied .osm file, or downloaded using OsmAndMapCreator's GUI) and make an .obf file that contains a vector map for a region in OsmAnd's own format. This process of translating and simplifying OSM vector data is controlled by a file called rendering_types.xml which you could search for on here for more info. You're not trying to make tiles. These are for raster maps rather than vector maps and are just a hierarchy of little .png images to display. A rendering file governs how .obf vector data is displayed, not raster tiles. A secondary use of OsmAndMapCreator is to replicate how OsmAnd uses a rendering file for testing purposes. In this case you're not trying to generate map files: You're testing how a rendering file causes an existing map to be displayed. I haven't tried this myself, but others on here have... anyone? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Osmand" group.
