I've created new version of TB Cutter.
changes:
- direct cutting of maps with bit depth less than 24bpp (reduce memory and time)
- 'Original' option (I couldn't find better term  ) in destination bit depth (the same bit depth as source bitmap)
- version info in caption
download from http://www.volny.cz/duffa/tbcutter/tb_cutter.zip.

@ duffa
Tb-Cutter works great 
it is possible that TB-Cutter immediately create a TAR-Archive ?
thx igillan

Yes, I plan it, I'm looking for simple TAR library...

Here is a freeware archiving utility.
http://www.tugzip.com/
Include a "tar32.dll".

edit: This not needed since now TB is signed Duffa, you could also use the tar.exe win32 port of unix tar from http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/
It's under GPL
edit:Duffa what did you use in tb_cutter to decrease the bit depth? It actually produces better output than for example pngcrush an opensource command line utility (it produced strange results for bit_depth 4).

Fantastic tool!
Making a TB map from 26400x21200 bitmap took less then 2 mins!!! 
I'll update the Map HOWTO in favour of TBCutter over GIMP.

Duffa, have you read ogamit_to's analysis? (http://www.trekbuddy.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38)
What do you think of atlas-creating capability in TB Cutter?
"Critical Features:
Actually, these critical features are not so much about the phone software as much as about supporting software and services. "
...
"There is a great tool called TBCutter here which automates the slicing of maps, the naming of the slices, and the creation of the SET file. Without this, making maps would be so much more of a pain. However, this tool does not make atlases. Granted, atlases are not that complicated. But why not extend this tool to manage the atlas creation process? This could make it much easier for people to conceptualize the map-making process."

No, I haven't read it, I don't read all topics...
I thought about creating of atlases in TB Cutter, it is quite simple, but there is one problem - UI. I thought about another conception than ogamit_to outlined, atlas is hierarchical structure so there is perfect control for it - TreeView. Each item of tree would represent one map and edit controls would contain parameters for current selected item in tree. And you can immediately see whole structure of maps. What do you thing about it? Of course you could save atlas parameters into the file and load later (you cound add other part and generate new atlas).
I'm afraid there is another problem with TB Cutter, I started reconstruction of our house so I'm very busy now. I can work on TB Cutter, but then there isn't time for sleeping...

I use CxImage library for loading, saving and cutting bitmaps and CQuantizer for decreasing bit depth of bitmaps.

Sorry, I don't plan linux version. Both graphics libraries I've used are for windows only, main program is MFC based, and I'm pure windows developer, I've newer worked on linux...

Your tool is going to keep people from switching to linux
Anyway, it seems to me that most of the great tools for GPS are windows only and so is yours

ooh yes! i know this.
btw. isn't the name of this website www.linuxtechs.net
with a nice penguin icon
@Duffa
it is not a great problem for me.
but if you release the source, maybe another good guy can port this to linux?

I have several files with maps (*.maps, *.png).
It is possible to make trekbuddy maps automatically from all (by select all) ?
