OSM Layer

(1/8) > >>

Peter:
The OSM layer seems to have stopped working in my ShipTrax. Reading another Forum that uses OSM to produce their aircraft tracking map window, it appears that the OSM site has ceased permanently. Wonder if the same OSM website is involved, has anyone else noticed this yet please?
Appreciate that we can always use the satellite window instead.

Hi Peter,

We will check this.

Seems shipplotter and planeplotter have the same problem.

--- Quote ---It appears that the OSM tile rendering server that PP and SP use, has been
retired.

Until I can come up with an alternative, the OSM feature in ShipPlotter will
fail.

This is disappointing but, as with all features that rely on other servers for
useful data, it happens from time to time and is outside of our control.

If anyone knows of an OSM map tile renderer that works like the TAH server did,
I would be glad to know about it.

tarbat:
I provided Airnav with the algorithms for OSM map lookup, so at least one of the methods I provided is still working:
http://ojw.dev.openstreetmap.org/StaticMap/?lat=57.491826&lon=-4.236176&z=15&w=1021&h=875&mode=Export&show=1

The original idea was to utilise several different ways of doing OSM download, since these links/methods regularly change.  Hopefully Airnav can ensure that the above link method is now used - until OSM changes again :(

Both Ship and PlanePlotter found a solution a few weeks back. Any news on Shiptrax?
