OSM tile server inplemented in SVG
Käyttäjä Ruth Lang kirjoitti tämän 9. marraskuuta 2009 kielellä English.In the meanwhile the OSM tile server (tile.openstreetmap.org) is now implemented in Mappetizer for ArcGIS.
If you would like to have a look at an example:
http://www.mappetizer.de/en/examples/osm_wiki/index.html
In this example the Wikipedia Geocoding Webservice by GeoNames is also included.
An "invisible" SVG layer gives information about the countries.
Best regards
Ruth

Hi, that is a really cool application. Two (minor?) problems I've seen:
- I can't get the Wikipedia-button to do anything (at least I don't see anything happen)
- Zooming to Vatican City ends up somewhere in West Africa

@lyx
push this i(nformation)-button and click on the Wikipedia-Icons.

@mbuege: got it now, thanks.
Some of the Wikipedia-Icons seem to be misplaced on the map; I had a closer look on the map of Oman, and while quite a few W-icons point to articles related to Oman, some are pointing to articles related to Spain. The coordinates displayed on those wikipedia-articles appear to be correct (i.e. located in Spain), though.

Hy lyx,
thank you for your comment. Vatican City is no longer in West Africa, this was actually a bug in our software (thank you that you got us to find this bug).
Spain located articles in Oman: I had a look and I get those lat/lng values from GeoNames. Seems to be wrong there...
