GPSSC - Trekbuddy view - Using Mobile Atlas Creator to create an atlas.



The Mobile Atlas Creator website: Mobile Atlas Creator

Mobile Atlas Creator can download map atlases from several websites. The ones you are likely to be interested in are OpenStreetMap MapQuest and OpenStreetMap 4UMaps.eu . The MapQuest maps are best for road maps. The 4UMaps.eu maps have contours and are better if you are interested in terrain. You should download the maps as an Trekbuddy untared atlas. If you already have tared atlases you can use them with GPSSC by using 7Zip to unzip the .tar files.

The downloaded atlases may contain many map tiles. Large maps might exceed the number of files allowed in a folder on FAT32 drives so it's best to download onto a NTFS formatted drive.

As a Java program Mobile Atlas Creator requires Java Runtime Environment Version 6 Update 14 (v1.6.0_14) or higher installed on your computer.

It's a good idea to read wiki.openstreetmap's Tile Usage Policy before downloading too many map tiles.
