A world map for test:

You need to 'clear' previous selection, each time you want to create a new map:

This is not correct:

is it possible to individually select tiles such that the maps don't have to be rectangular. I want to be able to avoid map tiles over unnecessary bodies of water, select land masses within borders etc.


I'm trying to figure it out but couldn't (ctrl-click doesn't work). Is this possible?

Hi, pjax;

It is not possible with current version of MOBAC. You have to select rectangle areas.

I see these two options in Mobac 1.8. Which one should be used? I use android 2.1 and Samsung galaxy s.
Also, I can find no start.cmd file

Hi Orux

Once again your work is really great

I followed the tuto step by step and it's really convenient and efficient.

When I tried to visualize the result within oruxmaps, the tiles didn't show.

I had to convert all ocm2 files to jpg via oruxdesktop and it finally worked.

May I suggest to add in the tuto a step where you have to proceed with this conversion?

ADDED: I tried with another multilayer map created the same way the first one and this time didn't need any ocm2 to jpg conversion before visualizing the map. Any idea why this difference of behavior? For information first map was from google earth and second one from openstreetmap osmarenderer
