are we talking at cross-purposes? They have 3 types of 'data' - gazetteer search, postcode search, boundary vectors - which are, of course, not wms. But the map rasters are on a tileserver accessed using standard wms params - they use Layer.WMS - tho it's not a full-blown wms; no capabilities, fixed resolutions, only one projection, and only one tilesize (actually, there's 2, depending on the resolution, which complicates matters). > Can you give a link to this for the OSOS code? http://sourceforge.net/projects/osgbwebmaptools/ which is basically the software they use to set up OpenSpace, released to allow those with OS licences, like local governments, to display their OS-based data. They released a new version of OpenSpace last month, and this is not (yet?) reflected in the maptools, which has the OpenSpace api version from Jan last year. > > There's nothing in the > > OpenSpace T&C that says you have to use their api to access the OpenSpace > > services. > > Can you provide some evidence of that? http://openspace.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/openspace/developeragreement (I just read through again to check they haven't changed anything in the meantime :-) ) > Using the tiles for a Google > Earth application recently received a take down notice from them, no? meaning Gavin Brock's? http://www.brock-family.org/gavin/google-earth/osmaps.html That's not to do with whether you use their api or not. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/users
