Interesting Andrew. Do you know much about this service ? I have been trying to display it in FoxtrotGPS which normally uses OSM or Google tiles. But I find two puzzling things -
1. While I request png files I seem to get JPEG 2. Their Y and X number system seems to be miles away from where I'd expect it to be. I need to browse to somewhere in Antarctica, south of Africa before I could get any (Aussie) tiles back. I used to understand the numbering system, sigh, better get my old notes out.. Anyway, Foxtrot is quite confused, does display tiles but somehow in the wrong order, interesting !
