I am using a custom tiled service based on Layer.OSM() - But i do believe they want to change it to google maps or something in the future. But this is something that i can specify if theres any problems with these sort of tile providers.
When not doing it by vector, how would i place the line string? The mapserver / osm layer does not have a function of addFeatures() so i can't add the line string directly on it. Currently I'm processing the positions manually by javascript, and for each of the position reported, i create a point and then based on all the points i create a line string. I am then adding it to a vector layer and add the layer directly on to the map object. I got GeoServer installed as this was something i read about last night. But this does not have any in-built tiles. And as I have never used geoServer previously. I have no idea how it works. I tried looking trough the documentation of it. But it doesn't bring up any examples where it would provide a map as a default map. It does have some layers as defaults. But only for smaller areas it would seem like. But did you solve the problem at your end with GeoServer? Or are you still looking for a fix for this? I did read something here that goes into converting the coordinates when crossing the meridian. But i was hoping there was some pre-made well functioning fix for this as the problem has existed forever, and that there would be some sort of fix for this after 4 years since this post :) http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/openlayers-users/2009-February/010480.html Med vennlig hilsen / Kind regards, Christer Nordbø System developer Global Digital Media Global Digital Media Gamle Forusvei 8, 4033 Stavanger, Norway On 03.04.13 22:15, "Phil Scadden" <[email protected]> wrote: > >> I do see why it would do that.
