Hi Alan, what you try to do is not appreciated by the maintainers of free online map servers at all. As these maintainers do not get a flat rate and have to pay the data traffic by the volume, leeching maps is a very cost intensive task for them.
That is the reason why QLandkarte GT does not provide what you want. There is a very limited way to create an offline map from the cache. Imho it's a fair use to recycle tiles already downloaded. But you must have viewed the area on the level you want to export before you can export it. You will notice very fast that this limits the export to a very sensible extension, which should be kind of acceptable for the server maintainers. As you use version 1.4.0 there might be a bit of confusion about the level values. In this version the value is an index into the zoom levels of a map: level zoom level 1 1 2 2 3 4 4 8 .... with 1.4.2 the value is the zoom level as displayed by QLGT. Of course QLGT will display what's in the cache if you have no connection to the network. Have a look at the setup dialog to fine tune cache size and expiration. And you can render your own local tile storage from the OSM database, put it into a zip file and enter the path as URL for the tile server (file:///...zip) HTH Oliver -------- Original-Nachricht -------- > Datum: Tue, 10 Jul 2012 21:45:52 GMT > Von: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > An: [email protected] > Betreff: [Qlandkartegt-users] Noob trying to store maps > I've been playing with QlandkarteGT a bit, and it looks like one of the > better map apps I've seen, and it works very nicely with my GPS receiver, but > I'm having trouble with storing maps for offline use. > > I have a Nokia N810 using Maemo Mapper, and it is quite happy to store any > maps I get from OpenStreetMaps in its database for use on the road, but it > appears that it's not so simple from QLGT.
