Using WMS servers on TangoGPS
Dear all, I have published a piece of PHP in the tuxbrain blog[1] that allows to translate the OSM tile sistem used by TangoGPS(and omgps) to a standard OGC WMS 1.1.1 web services, In the code[2] is an example implemented the Institut Catala de Cartografia (http://www.icc.cat) but I think the hard stuff (changing coordinates), change datum, etc can be reused to other wms server out there, the maps usually are free aviable for non comercial use, so I think it can be interesting to use other maps source than OSM (low detail in some zones) or google maps (not able to mass download). The article is in spanish but the source code comments are on english. As always comments are welcome.

Re: Using WMS servers on TangoGPS
Great stuff! :) What map projections are supported? I guess just spherical mercator?

Re: Using WMS servers on TangoGPS
the ICC example uses ED50 / UTM zone 30 North, that was one of my first headaches, (OSM , google ... use spherical mercator) and even appling the tranformation there still was some offset that finally I have to hard code, I have not tested but surely using the class included to lat-lon- to UTM will give you correct spherical mercator UTM cordinates. cause is spherical mercator uses WGS84 datum 2009/7/3 Joseph Reeves iknowjos...@gmail.com: Great stuff! :) What map projections are supported?
