GPSSC - Trekbuddy view - display a set of Trekbuddy map tiles.
Atlas folder names
Trekbuddy atlas's downloaded with Mobile Atlas Creator contain four levels of folders.
The second level contains the folders for each zoom level.
The zoom level folders have names that end with a numeric value that indicates the zoom level of the contained map tiles.

The GPSSC Default Atlas folder for this atlas on my PC would be F:\atlases\Basingstoke-atlas_2015-04-26\Basingstoke
When you create pan files make sure you have the Trekbuddy map view open.

Working with huge tile sets
Pan files allow you to easily move to a place on the map in the tile set.
If you are using huge file sets then the pan.jpg image can become very large and slow to load.
For example this pan file for South Island New Zealand at zoom level 13 created using Tekbuddy
> Make pan files menu was nearly 50MB in size and 18960 by 19040 pixels.
By using an image editor like Irfan view you can edit the file and resave it with only 4 bits grey scale and higher compression and that will give you a much smaller sized file. This file now becomes 3.7MB and loads quicker and is still usable.
You can also make your own pan.jpg file but you must create it at the same pixel size as the original. You can get the required size from the Make Pan Image dialog. You could resize and use a pan.jpg from a lower zoom level.
The pan.jpgs from the huge tile sets would probably make good posters if printed out.
