Re: [Viking-devel] Segmentation fault with git HEAD

Hi, Sorry, most of the technical stuff referred to is above my head, but I may be able to help with an explanation of why the technical people put a loop in. At one point, when the age limit for a tile was reached, and the programme was started, it immediately deleted the old tile(s) before

Hi, A couple of thoughts on this; The OSM front page with the map merely has an attribution at the bottom right of the screen in exactly the same way as Viking does after the OSM Mapnik map has been loaded. You are not required to acknowlege the attribution before you zoom or search on the
