Well, that tile is there, but outdated.
Touching that file (to make it appear up-to-date) gets
one to the next errors, eg.
"Download of maps/earth/hikebikemap/2/2/1.png failed, but trying again
soon"
etc. etc.

Yes, it does not work. I tries to fetch tiles
"Download of maps/earth/reitwandermap/1/1/0.png failed, but trying again
soon"
with
"   URL http://opentiles.com/nop/tiles1/1/0.png "

Which does not exist.

But maybe  this should be put aside for the moment,
until the first example, ie. http://opentiles.com/cmarqu/
works ...

Best, Arnd
