[OSM-talk] Plus code grid service

[Oleksiy Muzalyev]

Thank you for the information!

I implemented the grid on my OLC (Plus) code Generator & Search 
web-application: http://ausleuchtung.ch/olc/

It works fine. The grid appears almost immediately.

I read that it is possible to change the color of the grid, and that it 
is done via col=white or col=red. Could you, please, specify where I can 
add this option? When I add it after "tms: true," it does not work.

Best regards,
Oleksiy
