JTileDownloader

From OpenStreetMap

General Information

JTileDownloader is a Java application for downloading OSM tiles. Paste a 'Permlink' to the application, select radius in km and zoomlevel, select renderer and download the tiles.

I have written this small programm, because OSMtiledownloader does not support to paste an OSM-URL for downloading the tile files.

Currently there are no error/info messages shown if something went wrong or some values are not entered correct. This will be fixed in future versions.

Starting the application

Installed java version >= 1.4.2 is required

To start the application, just doubleclick/click (depending on operating system) on the downloaded .jar file.

Additionally start the application with java -jar [NameOfDownloadedFile] (eg. java -jar JTileDownloader-0-0-2.jar)

java -jar JTileDownloader-0-0-2.jar

Description

Main

Paste URL: Paste here the URL (Permlink) from OSM. The application will extract to Lat and Lon values from the link.
Radius: Enter here the radius from were the tiles should be downloaded (bounding rectangle). As the calculation of the min and max values of the tiles is based on a 'flat' earth, the radius in km may differ from the real world. (Perhaps I will do a better calculation later)
OutputZoomLevel: Select the zoom level for download
Alt. Tileserver: Here you can specify another Tileserver if the one you prefer is not in the list above this field.
Outputfolder: Specify here were the downloaded files should be save. If nothing is entered, the downloaded tiles will be stored in a subfolder 'tiles' of the program directory. The folder can be specified as relative or absolute path. Some examples for Windows: myTiles or C:\osm\myTiles Some examples for Linux: osm/tiles or /home/myUser/data/myTiles
Number Tiles: Informs about the complete number of tiles selected for download/export.
Download Button: Downloads the files to the specified folder.
Export Button: Stores a list of all files in a text file called 'export.txt' located under the specified output folder.

Options

Wait Options

If this is enabled, the JTileDownloader will wait after the specified amount of tiles for the specified seconds before continue downloading the tiles. This option should be enabled if you download a huge amount of tile files to prevent overloading the tile server.

Network

Proxy Settings

Enable this settings if you want to connect through a proxy server. This settings were not tested already so I hope it will work.
