This is because users rendering their own slippy map would normally not contribute to the server because a) they only are interested in a relatively small area, and thus wouldn't be interested in the requests from the server from all over the world and b) would have the client run in xy mode for their area, which would mean if uploaded the server would have to have coped with all the additional tilesets, which used to be a bottleneck. >> You can alwable the "keep data" option (not sure about the >> exact name), but that will keep more than you want. > Made a search for "keep data", no results. > I want this because I'm thinking of using the imagery I uploaded 'as is' > on a localhost web server wishing that it would remain in a way that I don't > need to make > any changes.(thus I could insert the localhost URI in tangogps) > I would not like to put an extra load on the t...@h server. > Some load was already put by me uploading rendered images.

If you want to render areas for your tangogps, I would be willing to cooperate modifying the client to make that easier, not least because I'm a tangogps user as well. You could also install the tileset serving code on your localhost, so tangogps can fetch from the webserver, and you would only need to divert the tileset files to the webserver (most of the needed code for that is already in the client). -- Dirk-Lüder "Deelkar" Kreie Bremen - 53.0901°N 8.7868°E
