V5 and OpenStreetMeap

[HaraldJ]

In version 4 is was not a big deal to use OpenStreetAmp instead of Google Maps. The mechanism that worked well in V4 doesn't seem to work any more, the code to replace is no longer in the HTML file.

Is there a way to use OpenStreetMap, Bing Maps, or any other provider, with version 5?

Thanks!

Hi Harald,
Version 5 has the maps in the skin rather then the HTML page.
Publish the project with the map, then open the skin.js file.

You need to find

Code: Select all

var mapOptions = {

and replace the whole block with

Code: Select all

var mapOptions = {
				zoom: 14,
				center: activeNodeLatLng,
				streetViewControl: false,
				mapTypeId: "OSM", 
				mapTypeControlOptions: { mapTypeIds: ["OSM"] }
			}

then you have a line similar to

Code: Select all

me._map_1.ggMap = new google.maps.Map(me._map_1, mapOptions);

and after that you add

Code: Select all

me._map_1.ggMap.mapTypes.set("OSM", new google.maps.ImageMapType({
                getTileUrl: function(coord, zoom) {
            		return "http://tile.openstreetmap.org/" + zoom + "/" + coord.x + "/" + coord.y + ".png";
			//		return "http://otile1.mqcdn.com/tiles/1.0.0/osm/" + zoom + "/" + coord.x + "/" + coord.y + ".png";
			//		return "http://services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Topo_Map/MapServer/tile/" + zoom + "/" + coord.y + "/" + coord.x + ".png";
                },
                tileSize: new google.maps.Size(256, 256),
                name: "OpenStreetMap",
                maxZoom: 18
            }));

Hi Hopki,

Thank you very much, that's fabulous!!!

Of course it's a pain to manually edit the code every time output is generated. I'm using (on Windows), a free tool called "Find and Replace".

It can not only do what the name says, it can create command line code as well.
I copy and paste the command line code into a batch file, "ReplacerV5.bat". Then, after generating output with V5, I just have to double-click on that batch file, and all the changes are made by the batch file.

Hi,
There are plans for this in the future, but for now, you need to add it manually.
