Re: [josm-dev] Any objections to a Google Maps tile source class in JMapViewer?

Initialisation of the Template and setting Attribution. Feel free to ask (by direct e-mail) when you need help. That we don't do it does not mean we don't know how :-) Ciao -- http://www.dstoecker.eu/ (PGP key available) ___ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
