[OSM-newbies] Merkaartoor Download : Message 430 Forbidden

[Ernst Radema]

Hello all,

 

I try to download a map for a track in GPX-format I recorded ( with I-Trails and/or GPX on I-Phone ).

 

I find it pretty complicated to be honest. New in mapping, but not completely computer-illiterate (as a user, not a developer/programmer) even the simplest things do not work.

 

Following the manual (don’t aks me which one) I use the prescribed / available software. E.g.

 

Merkaartor

I open the track and see it on the dotted surface.

Than I want to see / download the map

I use the option [X] Current View and then hope that the map underlying the track will appear.

 

It returns the message:

Unexpected htp status code ( 403)

Server message is ‘Forbidden’

 

Is this an account/permission issue?

I thought I had everything for OSM and Wiki.

But maybe it’s not in the right place in the programme.

 

Anyone can help ?

 

Ernst

 

PS

I see and hear dat JOSM is the preferred mapping-application and have it installed –with the enlarged memory-option, 

but –as it says in the manual- it’s more complicated and the output (map) is OVERWHELMING, so for a start I prefer something simpler.
