Answer 1

The easisest way is to download MOBAC, then run it and mark out an area you want, store the tiles in Osmdroid.zip format. When that's done, drop the zip file into the osmdroid folder on your device.

i want download this zip file from my android app programatically. Is it possible? – Brumfield

But the map tiles downloaded by MOBAC do not allow routing. – Bibliophile

also MOBAC is probably going to be blocked because it causes heavy traffic for OSM servers. – Microsecond

Answer 2

First of all you need to download Mobile Atlas Creator. This link is for the latest version of MOBAC

1- In Mobile Atlas Creator select your area of interest.

2- Select your Map Source

3- Select Zoom Levels

4- Add Selection

5- Create Atlas

6- After downloading is finished move the zip-file to /mnt/sdcard/osmdroid/ on your device.

Note that MOBAC is very bad for OSM tile servers and you are likely getting blocked. See wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/MOBAC for more information. – Hastie

@Hastie Yes, You are right. It was OK when I answered this question. ;) – Sihun

@Hastie then what is better? – Zola

@Zola Rendering your own tiles, e.g. with Maperitive (or a full tile server, which is much more work and probably unneeded for most users). – Hastie
