[talk-au] Nearmap OSM data expanded
In case you're interested, Nearmap are now serving OSM data for the whole world, rendered from the 17/02/10 dataset. We also have the non-transparent map tiles, but haven't enhanced the map page to let you select those yet :) Cheers b -- Ben Last Development Manager (HyperWeb) NearMap Pty Ltd ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Non-transparent tiles on nearmap.com has been something I've wanted for ages, is there a URL hack we can use for the moment?

Very nice. The new transparent tiles look great. The different road colours will take a little getting used to, but the map is so much more vibrant now. Keep up the great work! Maybe you can get the code to enable Australian Highway Shields from John so you can render them instead of the default OSM ones. Would make a nice touch.

Most of the mountain villages along the Great Western Highway just west of Sydney are now included. Thanks Nearmap!!

Thanks John, That's what happens when you get interrupted when sending and e-mail.

Something that continues to amaze me is how much detail there is in very isolated parts of the world (or very isolated little communities, of which Australia has quite a few...). Now all we (Nearmap) need to do is capture with enough accuracy that you can read the street names...
