New gvSIG 2.0 Extension Available for Accessing OpenStreetMap Data
The gvSIG Community introduced a gvSIG 2.0 extension that allows access to OpenStreetMap (OSM) layers.
According to the announcement, for installing this plug-in, the user must open the Add-ons Manager in gvSIG 2.0 and select the “By URL” option and “http://downloads.gvsig.org/download/gvsig-desktop/“. The user must select the “Formats: OpenStreetMap raster tiles support” package. In the next few days, the link will be available on the other gvSIG repositories.
The plug-in includes basic access to the OSM layers for viewing. There are four servers configured by default that show the Map Quest, Map Quest Open Aerial, Open cycle Map and Mapnik layers. In the “Add layer” interface it is possible to add new servers.
