Re: [talk-au] Nearmap OSM data expanded
Hi Luke We'll be refining the appearance as we go... already made a number of changes and there are more listed, though several are for the opaque maps so you won't yet see them. There are, er, "full and frank" internal discussions here about road colours, but I'm going to let people argue until they reach a consensus before they get changed! John, if you're reading, what's the change for Aus shields? Cheers Ben On 25 March 2010 18:07, Luke Woolley wrote: > Very nice. The new transparent tiles look great.

Re: [talk-au] Nearmap OSM data expanded
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.

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?

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
