Are you generating a bunch of files called something like 00012345567.png?? These are the only files you need. Everything else is irrelevant. I'll re-run a crunch over the weekend (can't do it before then) and document the exact steps I take.
Wow - at last I can do it, and all thanks to you. If you feel like telling me how you worked out how to do it I would be very interested, but don't worry if you're busy.
The crucial bit of information was the file tree Layer_New Layer. I would never have thought of looking there.
One of the things that puzzles me is this: there are 49 odd tiles just for my home town (Llandovery). If I want to do the whole of Wales do you just keep adding .png files to the same folder? I guess you can set it to download only the tiles from the district you are actually in?
Every time you do a new crunch, just upload the new images. There may be some duplicates created, but that shouldn't affect anything. Maemo-mapper will just download enough images to cover the current view and a bit more, or you can manually download a bigger area.
wouldn't it be nice if you could just grab the OS map tiles from say http://openspace.ordnancesurvey.co.uk, merge, transform and crop them, and
then serve them up to maemo-mapper?
one might imagine this could be done with just 264 lines of perl cgi and it'd
be painless and slick and smooth and just ever so slightly against the terms
of service. which is a shame because it's very nice.
I've only had a quick look over the license, but if it's for your own use wouldn't it be allowed?
No, that's definitely excluded:

(my emphasis). So it needs to be a web-based application, and it has to be for third parties not just yourself. Also in the FAQ they say it "must be used within a publicly accessible application".
btw, i see some guy has a proxy to overlay the os maps on google earth - so maybe some flex in the terms.
That looks ever so pretty.
Did you mean http://wheresthepath.googlepages.com/
The full-screen OS map complains about vector mapping not supported but otherwise seems to work fine.

however i see that multimap is now using mercator projection for its os maps
so a new url format for mm should do the trick. mm only supplies the os topo
maps - higher maps are normal teleatlas version.
