# d-rats\_mapdownloader(1)

The D-RATS map download utility

## NAME

d-rats\_mapdownloader - The D-RATS map download utility

## SYNOPSIS

**d-rats\_mapdownloader**\

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **d-rats\_mapdownloader** command.

**d-rats\_mapdownloader** is the D-RATS map download utility. It will attempt to fetch all of the required tiles for a given center location and desired diameter. The diameter is determined by the zoom level limit.  All zoom levels below the one selected are fetched.  D-RATS defaults to zoom level 14, so it is recommended that you choose at least that level to fetch.  This operation fetches a lot of small files and can take quite a long time.

The user will be prompted for the latitude and longitude of the center location and for the diameter.

## OPTIONS

This program has no options.
