I am wondering, though, if there is a way to download a large area of tiles explicitly for offline use?
I just thought of a sneaky way: Write a Perl or Python script which uses xastir_udp_client to send packets into Xastir. Set up Xastir to track the object. Have the object run along the map in a zig-zag pattern across the area of interest. Repeat at each zoom level you're interested in. That will force caching of the tiles of interest. Yea, you can tell I lost too much sleep last night playing with code... Of course it would be easier/more efficient to write a block of code for Xastir to just snag the tiles over a region and between two zoom levels. Or a separate outside program to do the same and then force Xastir to think it cached them. -- Curt, WE7U. <http://www.eskimo.com/~archer> APRS: Where it's at! <http://www.xastir.org> Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.
