Yes. A directory hierarchy of PNG tiles is already the way that OsmAnd caches online tile sources, so presumably its not toooo inefficient. To make it work for OsmAnd each individual PNG tile has to have the filename extension .png.tile rather than just .png I can't remember if QGIS QTiles can save with that file extension or whether one has to work out how to recursively rename all the *.png files to *.png.tile (easy in linux, obscure in windows but ok when you know how). I'll take a look at this again soon if I get the chance. My notes and sources referred to QGIS 2 (I used 2.18). The interface changed a lot when they brought out version 3 and some things seemed to be worse. All versions are available to download (and you can install more than one) so you can pick and choose. I looked at the storage sizes. My experiment was just a crude rainfall map of the UK amounting to about a megabyte. The .sqlite was only slightly smaller than the directory hierarchy of tiles in this case. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Osmand" group.
