After almost a year since the previous update to the MapOrganiser, the new version includes a number of improvements:

- Support for extra OpenStreetMap-based map styles, including Andy Allan's Cycle Map with topographical contours and CloudMade's Mobile-optimized renderings:



- Local map tile caching to reduce load on OpenStreetMap servers and speed up map assembly.

- Improved image resampling quality when using the 1:2, 1:4, 1:8 etc zoom levels.

- 256 colour palette option when saving PNG files to reduce the TMJ file size and speed up map loading/display in TMJ-Mobile.

See the MapOrganiser page for more info...

Cheers,
Stephen

Cool.

I'm so lazy I wish the MapOrganizer would be able to remember some setting e.g. so that one does not have to amend the tile size each time the program is started

There is a command line option that can preset the tile size. Edit the 'Start Map Organiser' batch script with -l (small letter L, not number one) following by the tile width and height, eg:

java -jar TMJ-MapOrganiser.jar -l240,320

Yes, actually pretty much the whole OSM conversion process can be automated. Use the -h switch for full details:

java -jar TMJ-MapOrganiser.jar -h


(Its still pretty experimental though, hence why I hadn't mentioned it before!!)
