It worked! Using the instructions on https://openmaptiles.com/server/ and using the local URL of http://localhost:8080/styles/osm-bright/ in the JTileDownloader apps "Alt. Tileserver:" textbox worked. I guess I could have done it for osm-bright/ positron/ klokantech-basic/ or dark-matter/ since all four map styles come with that docker thing.

The preview in JTileDownloader was showing map images for the first time while it was making the folders and PNG's. Because it was working so good, I tried a few things you advised against on the https://unav.me/offline/ page. I tried to box in a very large part of my home state. I saw it was going to take 17 days or more to finish. So glad you have an abort button on that program. ;)

I experimented with settings and wound up with Output Zoom Levels = 8-17, which with my bounding coordinates was making 432,580 tiles. That ran about 1.3 days to complete. I'm now waiting about 4 hours for them to go onto the Nexus 7 hoping I didn't try to push an elephant into a shoebox. :)

I hope it works, I cant wait to try offline maps while driving!!!
