#21 Mobile Trail Explorer atlas format

[Groppo Otto]

Mobile Trail Explorer (MTE) is one of the easiest mobile software for gps tracking. It's also one of the most used by openstreetmappers.
It would be nice if TrekBuddy Atlas Creator could create atlas usable by MTE.

The procedure suggested to create a map usable by MTE is explained here: http://code.google.com/p/mobile-trail-explorer/wiki/CacheCreator
It would be cool if TrekBuddy Atlas Creator could at least output images in the same format as JTileDownloader does. Thanks.

I checked the atlas format JTileCreator creates - it is plain and simple
It should not be a big deal to add this format. The only question left is how to proceed with map sources that do not use PNG as image format.
Are other formats supported by Mobile Trail Explorer (JPG, GIF, ..) or do they have to be converted to PNG?

Thanks for the interest.
The wiki[1] says: 'Only png images are supported. The images must be 256*256 pixels.'
Moreover, it seems that only Openstreetmap maps are suspported.
