Magma Expert Licensed User Longtime User Jul 25, 2017 #1 Hi there, I want to grab a full country map for my personal use and some free apps... Old days use Mobile Atlas but now days start using the Maperetive... I want to use with osmdroid in b4a and jmappane with b4j... My problem is that not gives the result i want it grabs very unzoomed the areas .... i want more zooming from 3 to 17 scale... for whole country... All days doing that... now i can;t for some reason of grab map apps... How i will do that... ? Also found *.osm.pbf files that saying include whole country and any zoom level.... but how i can extract those to .png files/folders so osmdroid can read them .... ????

You should dive into OSM a bit to understand the concept of it. Then there are several ways to produce maptiles with your own style, if you want to do this. here are some links to start with: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/PBF_Format http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Creating_your_own_tiles
