Hi, I will add that I use QTiles's mbtiles in my android smartphone with Oruxmaps and it works nicely

Hi,

I normally do it this way to have an offline basemap either for the mobile phone or the notebook:

 

1. Install QuickMapServices (an add contributed pack in the settings) for a variety of background layer. There are also different flavours of OSM, so pick your favourite.

 

2. Install the (tagged as experimental) QTiles plugin.

Assuming you have to work in certain area at a time only, set your canvas to this are.

In QTiles, you can choose between .zip and .mbtiles (but those mbtiles work within QGIS for already a while). Pick mbtiles for file creation.

Choose your zoom level carefully. If you do not need too much detail, 15 will be enough. See http://gis.stackexchange.com/a/7443 for detail which zoom level represents which map scale.

 

For me this setting resulted in 150MB file for an area of ca. 100 square kilometers. Higher zoom level or multiple zoom levels will let this grow exponentially. You will have to test a bit to find the right settings for your purpose.

The creation of this mbtile will take a while cause it has to download all the tiles for the area one after another.

So better test with a really small area before starting a big download.

 

Hope this helps

Bernd

Hi everyone, 

 

I use a laptop on my car where I have installed QGIS to follow the position over a map with a GPS. I can calibrate the image taken from a 1:25000 detailed topographic map.  

                                                                                          

I need to use QGIS with Openstreetmap offline to follow car GPS position.

  

I have downloaded vector tiles form  <http://osm2vectortiles.org/> http://osm2vectortiles.org 

 

 

I am not able to open the MBTiles file with QGIS. Please be patient, this is not my work. I will be grateful if you would suggest me how to do this job or if there is a tutorial available.

Are vector tiles from OSM2VECTORTILES right files? Is this the right way to work offline?

 

++running QGIS Desktop 2.16.0 with Windows10
