The problem is that OpenSim servers do *not* provide HTTP tiles, and that LL does not seem to care about the backward compatibility any more: this issue was reported *ages* ago for Snowglobe, but was never fixed in LL's viewers. That's one of the reasons why Snowglobe and later LL's viewers are incompatible with OpenSim grids. I made a patch to revert full compatibility with OpenSim world maps in Snowglobe v1.5 (latest SVN sources), which is available here: http://sldev.free.fr/patches/12500/slviewer-0-v12502-RevertToOldMap_v3.patch.bz2 This code is of course used by the Cool VL Viewer v1.25.0 (SG 1.5 based). This patch reverts the map floater to v1.23.5's one (i.e. it also allows to display the "Terrain only" map layer, and also the land sales icons do appear properly, unlike in SG and v2), but when logged into SL, or on an OpenSim grid supporting HTTP map tiles (yet to be seen...), it uses them instead of the asset server based tiles for the Terrain+Objects layer.
