Hi Nacho, That is interesting! It would seem that YahooMaps is allowing their data to be served up via a local WMS server. This would seem to make the approach that I proposed much more viable. I'm not sure we want to run a copy of Firefox from a plugin, but if a website was designed to serve

This weekend I was this OpenStreetMap[1] people in my town (A Coruña) and they show me a "YahooMaps extension"[2] for JOSM[3]. They have made a strange process to use the Yahoo API (a navigator is needed to retreive the images, ...), but they can use YahooMaps data. It looks a very interesting solu

Hi Eric, The very first Google Maps Terms of Service item says "1.1 *Description of Service*. The API allows You to display certain content, including map images and driving directions on your website, subject to the limitations and conditions described below." The key word here is website. It

The problem with the following proposal is not a technical one, it is a legal one. Google and the other providers typically only allow access to their tile layer using their web sites and web APIs. This is in part because they license the data from other parties for a specific purpose. Paul > I

Yes Nacho. I will need to talk to Stefan about making more regular releases. Once every 6 months is likely a doable goal. Something that was mentioned previously on the list was making a release whenever we meet a certain criteria, like N number of bugs fixed or something like that. I think it is

Interesting results... Maybe, It's a good idea make a new official release every 6 months (Ubuntu way) or another period of time. I like very much the feature proposal: "Use Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Mapquest, Open Street Maps map layer as background layer" It will be a very very very good featur
