Because nobody had done the work themselves to identify it, make sure it actually works, and check that our use of it would be consistent with the mapquest terms of service? Lee did all of that. If you do the work, I'll do the committing. > This > allows things like overlaying OSM/Mapquest road data on whatever fill > layer you want, something Xastir is quite good at. > > This is the layer I'm talking about: > http://ttiles02.mqcdn.com/tiles/1.0.0/vx/hyb/{Z}/{X}/{Y}.png If you do the legwork of making sure that the "vx/hyb" layer in mapquest is OK to use the way we want to use it, then the change is relatively trivial -- one adds: OSM_tiled_mapquest-transparent.geo: OSM_template sed -e '/THIS IS A TEMPLATE FILE/d' -e's/^#OSM_TILED_MAP/OSM_TILED_MAP/' \ -e's!^#URL tileURL!URL http://ttiles02.mqcdn.com/tiles/1.0.0/vx/hyb/!'\ \ -e 's/-STYLE/-mapquest-transparent/' \ < $(top_srcdir)/OSM_template >$@ to Makefile.am and adds "OSM_tiled_mapquest-transparent.geo" to the online_DATA variable in Makefile.am, rebootstraps, reconfigures, and does a make install. If you find that works fine and that the mapquest terms of service allow us to use this set of data that way, then committing is a matter of seconds. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM echo "prpv_a'rfg_cnf_har_cvcr" | sed -e 's/_/ /g' | tr [a-m][n-z] [n-z][a-m] _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://xastir.org/mailman/listinfo/xastir
