[OSM-talk] tiles at Home

[Andrew Luck]

Have you switched to the new server?

In your tilesGen.pl scripts, there is a line 
  DownloadFile(
    "http://osmathome.bandnet.org/Requests/", 

If you replace that URL with:
  http://dev.openstreetmap.org/~ojw/Requests/

then it will download requests from the new OpenStreetMap dev server

Tiles are visible at:
  http://dev.openstreetmap.org/~ojw/Browse/

Existing tiles will be copied-over from the bandnet server in due course, but 
it will take a while before the dev server holds enough tiles to be usable as 
a primary source for map data.

I've also switched the new upload server as per a post here recently. As again, it's the dev server so I assume the requirement for a separate login is gone. Maybe someone can correct me if this isn't the case.

Regards

Andrew
