Go to the options window (the little tick near the bottom left), and you'll see that the pop-up menu which used to offer only 'Yahoo' and 'None' now offers: - OpenAerialMap - Yahoo - Mapnik - Osmarender - Maplint OpenAerialMap is likely to be particularly useful. Not just because it's a great project in itself, but also because it uses the same low-res Landsat imagery as Yahoo - but enlarges it when you zoom in. So if you want to trace over enlarged Landsat, use this to replace the old Flash Player zoom. (If anyone else has spherical Mercator GMaps-like tilesets that might work as a background image, let me know.) Thanks to Christopher and Jon for configuring their servers (OAM/tah and tile respectively) so Potlatch can do this. cheers Richard Cool stuff Richard :-) Cheers Andy ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

Cool stuff Richard :-) Indeed, good stuff, think I found a bug though :-( I didn't bother waiting for all of the OpenAerialMap tiles to load and switched to mapnik, that then loaded, but a few aerial tiles continued to load afterwards. Not a big deal but thought you'd like to know. So when does NPE support get added? ;-) John ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

You'll need to add a crossdomain.xml file to the root of your tile-serving domain (i.e. http://thunderflames.org/crossdomain.xml) to permit Flash Player to fetch tiles from it. You can just copy and paste the file from http://www.openaerialmap.org/crossdomain.xml or http://tile.openstreetmap.org/crossdomain.xml (The OAM one allows tile fetches from anywhere, OSM just from clients downloaded from osm.org.) Let me know when you've done this and I'll add the layer. cheers Richard ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

Not a big deal but thought you'd like to know. Thanks - will have a look! So when does NPE support get added? ;-) When I've generated the tiles... but yes, that and OAM are the reasons behind this feature. I'm guessing I need to do the Liverpool sheet first, right? :) cheers Richard ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
