Browser-based applications like this only request a small number of tiles at a time for the area the user is viewing. The problem occurs when an application starts bulk downloading tiles for use offline, particularly at high zoom levels. ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

This is a pretty cool app. Does anyone know what service it's using for routing? robert. ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
Re: [Talk-GB] Dorset County Council maps now offer OSM Mapnik as default base layer
Good find. Initial thoughts: 1) Judging by the status message that Firefox produces they are using the OSM tile server. Is that allowed? 2) For some reason I can't get it to overlay Google Streetview over Ordnance Survey maps. 2) If you flip the Google Streetview option on and off quickly you can identify streets that OSM doesn't have yet.

[Talk-GB] Dorset County Council maps now offer OSM Mapnik as default base layer
I just noticed that Dorset County Council's public GIS service (Dorset Explorer) has been upgraded to version 3 which has Mapnik as a default base layer (it also offers Ordnance Survey as a base layer). See http://explorer.geowessex.com/. It does seem very slow, and has limited function compared to the previous version (it appears to be a complete replacement). Seems like a beta version really. But still potentially interesting, e.g. you can layer public rights of way onto Mapnik. Is anyone discussing this with Dorset's GIS team?
