Ability to choose layer in slippymap browser

[liste@…]

Hi,

The slippymap browser to choose data area to download is a really nice feature, but it would be even better if it was possible to add layers beside the 3 allready hardcoded (mapnik@osm tah and cyclemap)

I don't expect a cool option menu to add some, but a simple possibility to list a few more in the "advanced settings" would be enough (as a first step)

PS: of course we could dream about the ability of a chooser menu option, of layers transparency overlay but I don't expect a full openlayers abilities.

PS: usage could be that there are severall datachecker tools rendering tiles around there, and choosing area based on them whould be great

Dave is currently reworking the slippy map plugin. It will then be possible (or is already?) to put more servers in the advanced options.

The download dialog slippy map is mainly for selecting an area, but I agree, they should both share the same server list.

I think the slippy map plugin (having tiles under what you are mapping) and the slippy map area chooser (choosing an area to download) are rather different functionnalities. They might share tiles URL without problem, but one is not to replace the other (imho).

Also I wich dave good luck in the projection maze of tiles -> vector data ;-)

In [3602/josm]:

Allow to use custom tile sources in slippy map chooser (see #3744)

SlippyMapBBox chooser now allows plugins to add their own maps. And slippymap plugin is using this by providing some additional maps. Unfortunately slippymap plugin also doesn't allow to define custom maps (but I need this feature so I might be implemented it sometime :-) )
