Keep your path and don't get lost!

The software is free to use but I do not support.
Use it for your own risk.
Check first if you may use the Tiles (Copyright) for this way, this is your own responsibility.
The accuracy of the Latitudes and Longitudes depends to the used Zoom level and HDOP value from your GPS receiver.
The enclosed Tiles are from OpenstreetMap.

Map Tiles are country map parts of 256x256 pixels. The application use this smal parts to build the map on your screen and save memory space.
For more information: read Wikipedia Tile engine and/or Bing Maps Tile System.
(Bing, Google and OpenStreetMap use the same type of Tile system)
You can also read my own OnOffRoadGps (do not download, its for Windows Mobile).
Tiles are easy to approach but not essential for navigation.
With a track you can navigate without Tiles (blank Map).

Tiles must have 256 x 256 pixels!!!
You can produce the Tiles by yourself and/or download. Format and XY coding as Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, Bing...
Download Tiles with:

JTileDownloader (OpenStreetMap).
Tiles grabber (Googel)
My own OpenStreetMapTilesGrabber or GoogleMapsTileGrabber (only Windows)
For bulk download and automatic storage in the correct map. These programs can store the PNG Tiles and also as compressed JPG, to saves space on your memory card.
For this APP you must save as jpg.

Download only those Tiles which you need, it eats your memory!!!

Without this type of files the program is not very useful, it loads your Maps and targets (Waypoints).

Make your own <Tiles Index> list.
List must start with <Tiles Index>.
File name and number of files are free.
You can load an item as a Map or target. Edit with Notepad and separate item parts with a semicolon.

World; z4; x<n>; y<n>
   Titel: World
   Tile x<n>,y<n> = n,n as centre of Map
   z4 = Zoom Folder 4
   256 Tiles, 16 Folders = The whole World, useful as orientation.
   (files attached by this download)
Home; z15; lat52.5130; lon5.7061 (Target as centre of Map)
   Titel: Home
   z15 = Zoom Folder 15
   lat52.5130 = Y-coördinaat
   lon5.7061 = X-coördinaat
Dronten; z11; x1056; y671 (Tile as centre of Map)
   Titel: Dronten
   z11 = Zoom/Folder 11
   x1056 = Folder 1056
   y671 = File 671.jpg

You can use GPX and KML Tracks. Searching the internet for walking and/or bicycle routes
