Open Street Map

[geophil]

Here are the settings to access the "Transport Map" rendering for Open Street Map data:

Copy the following code section into a text editor, save as an xml file and import into TransDEM with the Map Tile Client / Settings.

It replaces "Other 2" which was no longer working.

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>

<TileServer version="1.0" >
  <Provider name="5 Open Street Map" >
    <URL addr="http://a.tile2.opencyclemap.org" prefix="transport" postfix=".png" standalone="1" type="5" >
      <Matrix prefixClm="/" prefixRow="/" prefixZoom="/" minZoom="1" maxZoom="18" order="2" />
      <Mercator origLat="90" origLon="-180" signLat="-1" signLon="1" projection="4" />
    </URL>
  </Provider>
</TileServer>

Standard vs Transport:

Tried to perform the suggested action but came up with error message 'Error reading .xml file: map Tile Provider Settings

Used Office 2010 as text editor.

Not sure what MS Office would do to this simple code fragment but I fear the worst. Try "Notepad" instead.

Sorry G but have tried all my options with no success.

In Notepad it should look like this:

Done. "Save As" "File Name", you provided, was the key not as usually done with Save As type in text editor. Noticed however that your opening message does not show the code anymore???

Just tried this and it worked. As a newbie I am quite pleased with myself

Sorry for the thread bump Roland - was wondering if there was any way we could get Transdem to call the "Cycle" map layer? This often has more physical detail than either the Standard or Transport level maps, particularly with regard to relief and natural features?

[geophil]

Have you tried Tile Type "Other 1"?

The cycle map rendering incorporates SRTM DEM data which produces the contour lines.

Just tried that Roland and Other1 defaults to the standard map (with Transport map displayed under Other2).

I'm still running Version 2.2.0.0. so could that affect what's displayed?
