Thread: Help please on tile selection

@asprin624

Thank you very much for your time.

Images will be the best to show my issue

This is how I see the map from ComputerTeddy from Europe, zoom out:

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

As I zoom in, I continue seen just the rectangles.

At a given zoom in level, I see this:

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

That it is so detailed I am unaware of which part of France this is.

So I have to zoom in and out until I have selected the tiles I am interested in.

Besides, some other sources just provide IMGs. There is the extra chore of installing them to the PC via GMapTools or whatever tool you like to.
But the most cumbersome is just zooming in/out, and I always end up missing some tiles and having some I do not need. That
I discover just after compiling the new img. So, repeat the operation of selection and producing a new img, until all is ok.

Not tried with mapsource; I will do. My first stone in the way is that mapsource is not opening IMGs, and I am not finding how to make mapsource recognize an installed map (mkgmap way). So, perhaps I have to try with MapToolSet.

Thanks,
