Thanks & UK OS Maps

[kezzy]

Hi, just wanted to say this is a great package.

Also, the maps that you overlay onto, where are they from? I was wondering if (for the UK) you could use the Ordnance survey maps from getamap.co.uk

All free maps to 1:25k? 2km x 2km square. Also thought that UK OS maps were permitting free access to thir online maps now and published their API?

Or could it overlay to ozimaps format (.ozf2 +.map files)?

Just realised it is from the Openstreetmap service. :-)

Hi kezzy,

I hope you find it helpful.

That's Google Maps (which is based mostly on TeleAtlas and Navteq data) and OpenStreetMap.

I was wondering if (for the UK) you could use the Ordnance survey maps from getamap.co.uk

It is possible but it means to replace the Google Maps API by the OpenLayers API. There is an example, but that's still lots of work. Why would I want to do that? What's the benefit of getamap.co.uk?

But RouteConverter is GPL... so feel free to hack it. I'm always open for patches.

Yes. See here for the documentation.

How would you achieve this technically?
