saving the tiles to the right place was very difficult and confusing even with
reading the one post on the forum, though I would of got it quicker if I had
noticed the a in osmarender, what's the a for anyway? <BR><BR>*Find a text
file (probably in My Documents) called BSGPSPDASettings, one of the lines in
that is OSM=<BR>*In that folder(or change it) create the following folder
levels: OSM/Osmarender/13 (13 is the default zoom level)
<BR>*In the OSM folder copy the 'MissingTile.png' file from the installation
folder (Program Files/BSGPSPDA?) for pretty-ness<BR>method 1 for getting
tiles:<BR>*use the program somewhere, in your OSM folder see the MissingTiles
text file, it will list the urls of tiles you needed. <BR>*download them and
save them in the folder you created, note they must be in the right zoom level
folder and then in the right 5 digit number folder.<BR>method 2 for getting
tiles:<BR>*install BSGPS on a PC/laptop, no GPS needs to be connected
<BR>*click the OSM tab (or view-> OSM) and type in all the details of the
area/zoom you want to download<BR>*when you've downloaded them, copy the
folders of tiles to the right place on your pda<BR>method 3(not the best) for
getting tiles: <BR>*use the online map that isn't a slippy(can't remember the
url right now)<BR>*when you see the area you want right click on the
image/tile (i think 9 are shown) and save as.<BR><BR><BR>The GPS signal didn't
get picked up as well as the Beeline program which is odd and annoying.
<BR>When I was testing it on the bus it was slightly off the road where it
should be, and I think at one point it must of lost signal but carried on
panning straight when the bus turned.<BR>I can't manually pan or zoom the map,
even when I'm stationary. Nor can I view the map(s) when my GPS is off.
<BR><BR>I havn't tried it for recording tracks yet. One thing I don't like
about Beeline is that adding a waypoint is too long, I would like one button
to save with an auto-increment number, so I don't have to use my stylus and
fiddle everytime I pass a postbox. <BR><BR>What did you think?<BR>I should
probably feed my comments back to the creator on his site, but then would
require registering on his forum too.<BR><BR>Gregory/LastGrape.<BR>
