I've updated the master code to report failing Tile (& DEM) downloads. I will remove the failing built in maps soon and failing maps.xml entries. A deeper question is how maps.xml extension file is distributed, since Viking doesn't directly control this, although the data/maps.xml is designed to be installed into /usr/share/viking or whatever the path is. Note the Window's install doesn't do anything about it. ATM The maps.xml file could change rapidly but it probably won't be picked up by users until the next formal Viking release. I think anything added into data/maps.xml file should have explicit permission. NB Lonvia's maps tiles base URLs are:http://tile.waymarkedtrails.org/skating/ http://tile.waymarkedtrails.org/mtb/ http://tile.waymarkedtrails.org/cycling/ http://tile.waymarkedtrails.org/slopemap/ http://tile.waymarkedtrails.org/hiking/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
