    2124== Area to download ==
     
    3942=== Area around places ===
    4043On the ''Area around places'' tab you can find the functionality of the former namefinder plugin. Here you can search for specific places, street names, etc, in the OSM database. Currently there are two different servers for the search you can choose from:
    41    * **[https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim Nominatim]**
    42    * (**[http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Name_finder Namefinder]**: outdated, was used by the namefinder plugin.) **service has been retired and shutdown.
     44* **[https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim Nominatim]**
     45* (**[https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Name_finder Namefinder]**: outdated, was used by the namefinder plugin.) **service has been retired and shutdown.
    4346
    4447=== Tile Numbers ===
    4548A Tile Numbers tab where you can enter number of tiles and a zoom level to download data of those tiles. Alternatively you enter a Tile address. This might look a little awkward especially when reading [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Slippy_map_tilenames how to compute the tile numbers]. But sometimes it comes in handy. Have a look at the [http://server.tah.openstreetmap.org/Browse/?layer=tile t@h browser] where you can quite easily determine the tile numbers in the image address when hovering the individual tiles with the mouse.

    4751== Area too large ==
     
    5054Otherwise choose a smaller area. You can download bigger areas using several smaller ones.
    5155
     56
    5257== Layer control ==
    5358You can control whether the data is loaded into the current or in a new layer with the check box in the bottom left corner of the window:
    54  * if **Separate Layer** is selected, the data is loaded in a new layer
    55  * if **Separate Layer** is not selected, the data is loaded in the current data layer
     59* if **Separate Layer** is selected, the data is loaded in a new layer
     60* if **Separate Layer** is not selected, the data is loaded in the current data layer
    5661
    5762If there isn't any data layer yet, a new data layer is always created.
     
    6166Clicking on the white plus on blue background on the upper right gives you the option to change the display (rendering machine). Currently there exist seven different renderers:
    6267
    63     * Mapnik (default)
    64     * Osmarender
    65     * Cyclemap
    66     * Bing Aerial Maps
    67     * MapQuest Open Aerial
    68     * OpenStreetMap (Mapnik black/white)
    69     * OpenStreetMap (Mapnik)
     68* Mapnik (default)
     69* Osmarender
     70* Cyclemap
