[Marble-devel] [OpenSeaMap-develop] OpenSeaMap in marble - go for a test

[Thomas Krueger]

Hello Anders,

thank you for you work in the weekend.
I change the access to the weather tiles of openportguide.org (not
openharbourguide.org) in the following way to make access easier:
Instead of blocking everybody and giving access to some
servers/applications, now everybody has access and if there is a mayor
misuse of the tiles I will block only these servers/apps. Anyway I
have not explanation for the 202/203 errors we got in the last days.

Thomas

> * OpenSeaMap tiles are displayed.

> * Sports layer is displayed, and can be turned off 8)
>
> * There is an "preview" icon with the openseamap logo in it.
>
> * A description taken from the openseamap FAQ, + a text from the openseamap
> "legal" page warning about using it as a full navigation solution.

>
> * Meterological data: A plugin for the GRIB data view provided by
> openharbourguide.org, and a plugin for displaying a metorogram (also by
> openharbourguide.org) for any point.
