Re: [Qgis-user] OpenStreetMap Error
Hi Glenn, It's not clear to me from your message whether you're still using the file you created in QGIS 1.8 or not. Please start with a fresh file, load Open Street Layers as you have already found its new menu location in 2.4 then use the OSM plug-in and let us know what happens. You may also want to search through this list's archive as I recently posted a similar question on the use of OSM with QGIS 2.4 on Win7 64-bit.

Re: [Qgis-user] OpenStreetMap Error
Hi Glenn, I'm away from my machine that has QGIS installed so I can't recreate the steps I used to d/l tiles. Pls take a look at the archives as I know i described it there. I was only ever able to get it to work for an individual session - when I close the .qgs file with the OSM-related work and re-open it the OSM map tiles are not there. I have to re-load as a basemap via the Open Layers menu. I thought when I had it working in 2.2 that this was not the case. I may be wrong because it was only a few weeks between my use of 2.2 and 2.4, which was what broke the OSM plug-in for me.

Re: [Qgis-user] Qgis-user Digest, Vol 102, Issue 34
Hi Andre, I just saw your response now. Perhaps my installation is not corrupt after all and it is the plug-in. After Damien's suggestion failed I went back to John Harrop's instructions, specifically this part of step 2, That should then bring up a list of five data types you can download. They are divided by data type, not content. For example, if you now select the points and lines items and then press OK you will get generically named lines' and points layers in your project. I used the old toronto.osm.db file I had created using version 2.2. By doing this I was at least able to pull up the specific point I had originally queried from the tag list. But it is now rendered on the entire OSM layer (but properly situated within Toronto) as the tiles did not download correctly. I think your suggestion would likely solve the problem but I'm not sure if I want to repeat those steps every time I'm downloading tiles from OSM. I'm in the process of reverting back to QGIS version 2.2 as it worked fine before. Thanks.

This is surely a bug of the OSM plugin. Maybe the plugin uses the project CRS as default for the bbox coordinates. This might work: - Create a polygon layer in WGS84 drawing a bbox polygon of the area of your interest with EPSG:3857 as project CRS and Openlayers background - Delete the Openlayers background layer, change project CRS to EPSG:4326 and zoom to the extent of your polygon - Download the OSM data - Switch project CRS back to EPSG:3857, and load the Openlayers background.

Re: [Qgis-user] Qgis-user Digest, Vol 102, Issue 35
Hi Andre, I was trying many different configurations as well as creating different screen dumps. It was because the coordinates in the Download OpenStreetMap data bbox were so far off from what I knew to be accurate for Toronto I had attempted that step with the From Layer checked off thinking it might grab the shaded boundary portion of Toronto that appeared on my screen at the time. I uploaded a screen dump that was not precisely what I was referring to by accident. Here's a screen dump that shows that step as I tried it before and how far the coordinates are off base as you've noted: https://www.dropbox.com/s/l06wdvul8w0atmh/Screenshot%202014-08-20%2015.57.04 .png and when I try to download it fails because coordinates are incorrect: https://www.dropbox.com/s/66rm7w54qyjqvls/Screenshot%202014-08-20%2016.02.46 .png Also as you've mentioned I cannot manually change the coordinates even if I know the correct ones before I d/l the section of OSM I need. I'm in the process of uninstalling 2.4 and reinstalling 2.2 based on some instruction I've received from a message I posted on Stack Exchange. I am aware that my plug-ins won't downgrade. I don't want them to as they were working fine in 2.2. Thanks for all your efforts.

Hi all, After attempting to revert to 2.2 only to end up with no working version at all I gave up and re-installed 2.4. I went back to the Open Street Map plugin and was able to get the correct co-ordinates to download. Find below a link to a screen dump of the steps required to get it to work on my machine.

Re: [Qgis-user] Reverting to version 2.2 from 2.4
Thanks for your response Damien. I need both open layers and OSM to work. The OSM plugin has just been updated and I upgraded it. I'm not sure from your response if you have both of these plugins working on 2.4 and what OS you are using. I should have added that I already followed the instructions posted earlier this month on this list by John Harrop. I continue to get errors when using the open layers/OSM plug-in. It may be because we are using different operating systems (he's on a Mac and I'm on a PC). If anyone is interested in what happened I'll attempt to recreate what I did here. When I was using OSM/Open Layers before in QGIS 2.2 I used the tutorial posted here: http://www.qgistutorials.com/en/docs/downloading_osm_data.html. I was able to follow it perfectly and download data for the area I was interested in (Toronto, Ontario, Canada), a database was created and I was then able to query SpatialLite for specific points/tags for a project I'm working on with my local OSM community. The files I saved in QGIS 2.2 will not work in 2.4. When I opened the 2.2 version .qgs file in 2.4 I got an error message stating that if I saved this project in the new version all functionality may be lost. I tried it anyway and sure enough it no longer worked. When I attempted to re-create this process in 2.4 using the instructions posted here by John I was able to load Open Street Map as the basemap I could not download the data. I tried loading it from the canvas (link to screen dump with error): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10032664/error%20map%20canvas.png and loading it from the map layer (link to screen dump with error): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10032664/error%20from%20layer.png If you look in the bottom left corner of the Download Open Street Data dialogue boxes in both screen dumps you will see that they have 0.0 MB already hard coded.

As I can't get the data downloaded I cannot move forward with downloading the tags I'm interested in. Any help on either further troubleshooting the open layers/OSM issue or my original question about reverted to version 2.2 is appreciated. Thanks.
