I doubt it is anything you are doing wrong.. sadly at the moment I have noticed a few issues with my javascript function for saving images. At the moment I am using the saveFile function in the TiddlyWiki core but it doesn't seem to always work which is quite frustrating. I know for a fact it will not work in Internet Explorer and that it will work on a Mac with Firefox or Safari.
What *should* happen is when you view a location, it will pull down an image for the 4 tiles from the web and save in a local folder. IT will save them in a directory structure as follows: $ROOT/slippy/zoomLevel/X/Y.png For instance http://tile.openstreetmap.org/1/0/0.png which shows the tile with X = 0 Y = 0 at zoom level 1 will be pulled into the directory $ROOT/slippy/1/0/0.png So if for some reason at the moment your images are not caching then you will also notice these directories haven't been created. In the mean time while I work out how to solve this problem cross browser you could manually save the files you need as annoying as this is. I see you can also deploy your own map server - I'm not such how many megabytes the whole world is however (hopefully enough for your usb stick), but if you're really interested it's worth looking at (I haven't done so yet): http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Deploying_your_own_Slippy_Map In terms of your truckdriving use case this sounds really interesting. I'm quite keen to see if there is anyway to sync a tiddlywiki with a GPS device so that it can always shows your geo location and thus any surrounding tiddlers- could be useful for you here! I will revisit the javascript saving and let you know if I find anything obvious. If any developers reading this post have some ideas will be interested in your thoughts...!
