streetmap.co.uk
Until recently Netsurf could render maps at streetmap.co.uk provided one entered via their older interface at http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newdefaulte2.htm from which exporting a drawfile could be extremely useful. But now even entering via this URL, the map display is only in the new format which Netsurf apparently cannot display. I am currently using 3.1 (Dec Cl #1252). Any suggestions? -- Bernard

... via their older interface at http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newdefaulte2.htm ... the map display is only in the new format which Netsurf apparently cannot display. It has changed, and it is annoying, but what I get with NS 3.00 (and RO5.18) is better than that. It all works normally as far as displaying the first map. At that point I used to edit the z= value in the URL to a small to a small even number (eg 2 or 4) which gave a much more useful 5x5 square display, but if I do that now it jumps to the new format and tries to fit 25 map squares into the 3x3 window, making a right mess. If I use any control (scale or move) it also jumps to the new format. Most of the controls in the new format work OK, and there is one to switch to 5x5, so you don't need to edit the URL. The one thing that doesn't work is the search box. The Go button seems to work, but I can't find a way to type into the search field. I just tried it with Dev #953 (the latest I had loaded) and (a) it goes straight to a new style page to offer you the alternative places, which works but then (b) displays a blank map on which (c) none of the controls work.

But I always use it by clicking a link in StrongED. e.g. http://streetmap.co.uk/loc/Burwell This takes you to a page hich asks whih Burwell. Click the appropriate one. Then you go to a page which asks for j/s. Wait and you do automatically to the static map - which works absolutely fine. This with 3.1 (Dev CI #1125) Streetmap hasn't changed recently. You can also menu on a squatre of the map and Object - Object - Save which can be dropped straight into OpenVector and imported as a JPEG. -- Richard Torrens. http://www.Torrens.org.uk for genealogy, natural history, wild food, walks, cats and more!

Seems to work OK, if you ignore the iffy formatting, in NS 2.9. I can enter a postcode and get a map which I can then zoom in and out of and move with the tools provided. Is 3.1 a JS enabled version and is the presence of such ability at the root of the problem? Alan -- Alan Calder, Milton Keynes, UK.

... Streetmap hasn't changed recently... It has! I use it regularly and the behaviour changed (as per my previous posting) about a week ago. Regards -- John Harrison Website http://jaharrison.me.uk

I use it regularly and the behaviour changed (as per my previous posting) about a week ago. Alright - I should have been more spoecific. There has been no change in Streetmap's behaviour when used the way I outlined. I've just updated to 3.1 (Dev CI #1257) and Streetmap (used the way I said) behaves exactly as it always has. But if javascript is on - then it does not work at all, doesn't display the No javascript message and doesn't progress (no change there either!)... Maybe this is your problem? Support at Streetmap were very helpful: I contacted them some while ago, when they changed to the new version, and was assured that the old version would remain. So whatever's happened is not a Netsurf thing... -- Richard Torrens. http://www.Torrens.org.uk for genealogy, natural history, wild food, walks, cats and more!

Hadn't explicitly thought about that, but I just (3.0) with JS enabled and JS disabled. The behaviour seems to be the same. (But one thing I reported before was incorrect. Changing scale keeps you in the old format. It's just moving the centre that jumps to new format.) Regards -- John Harrison Website http://jaharrison.me.uk
