Mapquest Tile licensing on P3D V3.5

[JackZ]

Hello to all.

A friend of mine has reported today on the Aircockpit French Forum that the moving map in AM with P3D 3.5 displayed a "Tile Licensing problem" with Mapquest (see picture below).

I checked the Mapquest Website and there is effectively a change in the licensing system to open tiles as of July, 11th

Will this affect AM? I just tried with my 2.1.2 version and FSX (don't have P3D), up to now the map loads OK...

I have the same thing here. Maybe we can do a quick fix with 2.1.3, we'll have to look into that next week.

It's 'fixed' if you choose a different layer than OSM_MAPQUEST. https://siminnovations.com/wiki/index.php?title=Map_add

Thanks Ralph for this quick answer!

So we have to replace in the GPS code the following line:

Code: Select all

navmap = map_add(80,122,415,351,"OSM_MAPQUEST",12)

by either

Code: Select all

navmap = map_add(80,122,415,351,"OSM_STANDARD",12)

or by

Code: Select all

navmap = map_add(80,122,415,351,"OSM_CYCLE",12)

or

Code: Select all

navmap = map_add(80,122,415,351,"OSM_TRANSPORT",12)

or

Code: Select all

navmap = map_add(80,122,415,351,"OSM_HUMANITARIAN",12)

Yes, all of those work.
