MAPCATCHER(1)              Linux Programmer's Manual             MAPCATCHER(1)


NAME

       mapcatcher - the debian distribution of the GMapCatcher offline map
       viewer


DESCRIPTION

       GMapCatcher downloads tiles automatically from many providers then
       displays them using a custom GUI. User may view maps offline.
       GMapCatcher is independent of map providers' javascript so should work
       even though the scripts may change. It also provides a downloading
       tool. See mapdownloader(1)


INTERFACE

       when you view maps while connected to the internet, GMapCatcher
       downloads map tiles as needed; 'force update' allows re-downloading of
       tiles

       when in offline mode, tiles you have already downloaded - then
       automatically saved - are visible; scroll to change zoom level

       the 'bulk download' window allows you to download all map tiles for an
       area you set, between zoom levels you set

       the 'visual path download' feature allows you to download all map tiles
       in a region of the screen, at up to a zoom level you set, to allow you
       to map a specific path - ctrl-scroll / shift scroll to change its
       parameters

       keyboard shortcuts, additional mouse features, etcetera are documented
       at
