Leif Sweden Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Hi, Is it possible to view OpenStreeMap in aerial view in TNG? Leif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfloridian Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Hi Leif Yes, unless things have changed significantly, there are two icons in the top right hand corner of the map which toggle between map view and satellite view. Sent you a PM example. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Sweden Posted November 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Thanks Alan, So it was as simple as that. Leif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Sweden Posted November 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Alan, Do you know if it is possible to aerial view permanantly in TNG, I mean as default? Leif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Sweden Posted November 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Hello Manofmull, I did exact as you said but the maps are still showd as normal map. Leif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfloridian Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Hi Leif I've never tried it but I think Satellite view is one of the options available in the Mod Manager edit options in the install process. I guess Erik Hoppe who devised the main mod would be best to advise: Open Street Map mod (wiki page) Cheers Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Sweden Posted November 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Thank you both, I have to wait for Erik Hoppe to answer. Leif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XerxX Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Hi Leif and all, This works for me in 13.0.1: In Mod Manager: The Event map on getperson.php Not the same for you? EDIT! I forgot: Swirching views doesn't work in this case!!! Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XerxX Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Explanation to why switching views is not possible when the SAT map is default: Any map selected as default is governed by the left icon (map). The right icon (satellite) is always only the satellite view. So if you select the SAT map as default, it's connected to the left icon. And the right icon also shows the satellite view. HOWEVER: There is a hack I found that can do what you want. I use it at my "Local community research" site (rightmost in my signature). I will try to get it into the OSM mod - it's of course how it should work - but I had help doing it so I'll contact the same person, Best regards, Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Sweden Posted November 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Thank you Erik, I did as you showed above but there were no change, I still see the normal map. I wait for the resonce from your friend because I think a satellite map is more living to view. Best regards Leif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XerxX Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 OSM w/ SAT default - TESTERS WANTED! Hi all. I have made a version of OSM where you can select the SATellite view as default and any of the others to use as a "switch map". I have tested it as far as my environment goes: getperson, placesearch, showmap, headstones, admin_editplace, admin_editcemetery. Are there more? If so; Can you help? If you're interested you can PM me your mail and I'll mail you the mod in a few hours. (Note that Heatmaps can't switch maps. (Haven't solved that yet) Heatmaps keep the SAT view) Best regards, Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tngrlkrz Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 Hi Erik, I am late to the game on this one. Notwithstanding the switching topic, earlier in this thread, there is note that I can set to default 'sat' and that should show by default? That didn't seem to work for me, the topographical always appears in getperson.php by default, even though map settings are set. I cleared cache and all that. Or is that part of what is being fixed along with switching? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XerxX Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 Yes Ron, It wasn't working the way one would expect. This version (only available from me via mail, for now) seems to: You select a map as usual (not "SAT") and then have the option to select "SAT" as the default display. And you can switch to the other, selected, map. /Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XerxX Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 Correction of my penultimate post: The mod has been checked on these pages: I have tested it as far as my environment goes: getperson, placesearch, showmap, headstones, admin_editplace, admin_editcemetery, admin_newcemetery, admin_newplace /Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read following at TNG:The downside is that OSM maps are in many cases not as detailed as Googlemaps, especially outside the more urban areas. Is it possible to have both OSM and Googlemaps installed at the same time and be able to switch between them? I have an old Googlemaps API from May 2020, is it possible to use it now?

You didn't read the next line? Quote I have added two maps that are more detailed re "rural roads" called ESRI World Street Map and ESRI World Topo Map. (See the Edit Options below) You can go here: https://tng.lythgoes.net/wiki/index.php?title=OpenStreetMap_Choices Read "Try a map". I use EWSM that I think is better than OSM (and nicer looking). That's what I show on that page - not far from where I live so I know what it looks like. And I link to Lantmäteriet's map (official Swedish maps) for the same place. Users can't toggle OSM / Google because it's a setting in the Map Key. Replace "OSM" with your Google key and Google maps are displayed. If you let the Google key be and start with "OSM" (like "OSM123456789") OSM is displayed (if installed ) Med vänlig hälsning / Kind regards Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Sweden Posted November 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Eric, It seems that my GoogleMaps API is not correct, when I tried I got a text all over the map (see below). I have downloaded the mod 13.0.0.7a, somewhere I saw a how to install but now I do not find it. Can you tell me where (not good in this)? Another question; above you say text EWSM for Map Source with CAPS but the SATTellite with small letters.Why different? Leif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
