Ah. That works. Great. Thanks!

Here is a screenshot of a simple application using the JXMapViewer  
configured to use the tile.openstreetmap.org tileserver.

And here is a screenshot of a different demo I made. This shows you  
the kinds of things you can easily do with the JXMapViewer and  
JXMapKit (two components in SwingLabs).  Since this is all done in  
Swing you could use this as an application or an applet, or embed it  
in your own program very easily.

So what are the terms of use of tile.openstreetmap.org?  I know that  
the mapping data is under the Creative Commons license, but what  
about the terms of use for the tile server itself?

Thanks everyone. Your project is simply amazing. I hope my work will  
make your project accessible to even more people.

Thanks,
	Josh
