Confused. How to download image tiles?

General talk
1

Hi,
I would like to download image tiles covering a small map area with various zoom levels with the intention of writing a simple standalone JavaFX application, without access to the internet, to browse the map. If possible, i would also like to display icons onto the map based on lat/long data.

I’ve been looking at all the information I can find at the OpenStreetMap wiki site, but just got more confused instead. Can anyone tell me how to go about downloading the tiles or point me in the right direction?

Thanks a million.

This page allows you to convert a lat/lon to a tilenumber.

Just remember to read the tile usage policy you will get blocked if you break it.

Thanks for the information. This is exactly what I needed.

Maybe the Tiles osm wiki can help as well.
