Greetings all,
I have been loosely following this thread. I use the tile end products of OpenStreetMap and CycleMap. The software I am using also has only PNG support. But since I happened to take a moment and explore, and I found this: http://store.usgs.gov/b2c_usgs/usgs/maplocator/%28ctype=areaDetails&xcm=r3st andardpitrex_prd&carea=%24ROOT&layout=6_1_61_48&uiarea=2%29/.do I use the same maps but as delivered from the Terra Server (or what was depending on the current state). I would like this view in a slippy tile format. Does this imply that these maps might be available as tiles somewhere? I did play briefly with the link below and ended up with errors. I am sure it is my lack of understanding. I also tried a few variations of this hoping for some success. http://basemap.nationalmap.gov/ArcGIS/rest/services/TNM_Vector_Small/MapServ er/tile/10/308/376.png This was the usual response: The image "http://basemap.nationalmap.gov/ArcGIS/rest/services/TNM_Vector_Small/MapSer ver/tile/10/308/376.jpg" cannot be displayed because it contains errors. Thank you!

The ArcGIS Server used by USGS requires very precisely formed WMS requests. I haven't tried to get his to work in JOSM - just TileCache. I'll see if I can work it out this weekend. Buy me a beer in Denver and I'll figured it out then! For now, a hint - Potlatch2 style tilecaches of some of these layers: http://navigator.er.usgs.gov/potlatch2/imagery.xml -Eric -=--=---=----=----=---=--=-=--=---=----=---=--=-=- Eric B.

They look really useful, but I have not been able to get JOSM to recognize them.

I'm not sure what format JOSM prefers, but you can probably infer it. Note that you need to get the layer names (numbers) just right or you won't get a valid response from the server. And don't try to use EPSG:900913 even though the GetCapabilities says it works. One final thing: Do not trace roads from The National Map! Despite the normal license free status of USGS data, the roads in The National Map are currently licensed from TeleAtlas. -Eric Wolf -=--=---=----=----=---=--=-=--=---=----=---=--=-=- Eric B.
