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
