Viewing a tiled dataset

Hello,
I wish to open a tiled set of images in Global mapper.
Is this possible?
The folders are in the format Z --> Y --> X .jpg
Having tried various options in the file menu I cannot seem to find anything.
Thanks for any help.

Are the tiles set up like standard Google Maps tiles in terms of the zoom levels and size of each tile? If so you could add this as a custom Google Maps tile source on the File->Download Online Imagery/Data menu command and just specify a local file URL for the path with the Z, Y, and X at the appropriate location in your custom path. It would load like an online source, but just pull from the local files.
Thanks,

Hi Mike,
I have done as you suggested and then selected Google Tiles; URL = files://c:/Tiles/UK/Z%z/%y/%x
I have set file type to .jpg
My directory structure is of the following format: Z14/200/344.jpg
However GM returns a Parameter incorrect error. I have tried the URL in file explorer and that returns the correct directory. -
You should also add .jpg to the end, like 'file://c:/Tiles/UK/Z%z/%y/%x.jpg' since with a custom URL no extension is automatically added. Also the start should be 'file://' not 'files://'.
Thanks,
Mike
