Trouble with Google Map Tile Server

#1 Post by Elienn »

Hi,

Is there any trouble with the google map Tile Server ?

Few month before When I used it to import some good picture for a trinz route I could zoom to 20 without trouble.

This time (last test this morning) I got a blurry picture at zoom 13 and nothing under ... (For Paris France which got some high def picture in google map)

Thks

Google quite often increases the otho-imagery version number in the URL. You can fix this yourself.

In TransDEM open the Map Tile client and click "Settings".

Set "Provider" to "2 Google Maps" and "Tile Type" to "Orthophoto". In the Tile Type group click "Edit".

In the URL composition dialog focus on group "URL part 1 - static". Change "Query prefix" to

Code: Select all

kh/v=174
Click OK.

174 is the current version. Once it expires again, you will still be able to obtain a few tiles from your local cache, but no new tiles.

In this dialog there is also a sample URL at the very bottom. You can play around with it and also copy it to the clipboard and then paste it into an ordinary web browser. Increase v= until you get a positive result again.
