Brief overview:
OSM tiles are 256x256 pixel PNG files.
Filename (URL) format is http://tile.openstreetmap.org/zoom/x/y.png
where
zoom=zoom-level-integer (from 0 to 19),
x=longitude-locator-integer (non-negative column number),
y=latitude-locator-integer (non-negative row number).
In the link above, see sample code to calculate x and y for a given zoom-level and a given latitude and longitude.
The following Darien CT area map is done
with map tiles at OSM zoom level 14.
Approximate latitude,longitude of Darien city:
41.0511, -73.4791 degrees
Each OSM tile is a 256x256 PNG file.
Each zoom-level-14 tile is one image of
2^14 x 2^14 = 16,384 x 16,384 = 268,435,456 images ~ 268 million images
which are used by OpenStreetMap to cover most of the Earth.
These zoom-level-14 tiles go from
x-numbers 4844 to 4850. (7 columns)
These zoom-level-14 tiles go from
y-numbers 6135 to 6141. (7 rows)
Total: 7 x 7 = 49 tiles
Image width: 7 x 256 = 1,792 pixels
Image height: 7 x 256 = 1,792 pixels
