Browser

a map, center it

browser)
(4) have a look at the properties of one of the
tiles, it should
have a url like this:
http://b.tile.openstreetmap.org/5/15/10.png
in this example \'5\' is the number you have to
fill into the
\'Zoom\' field \'15\' belongs to \'Column\' and
\'10\' belongs to \'Tile\'

Zoom: 5 Column: 14 16 Tile: 9 11

different Renderers, try it out!
