[Marble-devel] Using Open Street Map with proxies

[Amit Chaudhuri]

Hi all,

returning to this with more information.  (last messages were in Vol 57,
issue 23).

I can see compass, scalebar and overview map, so plugins appear to be found.

A call to download maps from the main menus allowed me to download a grainy
public transport map from kde.org.  I have zoomed it in to 436km and it is
trying to download something (at a rate of ~ 1-2% per minute according to
the little pie chart).  However, when it eventually gets to 100% there is
no sign of new tiles in earth/public-transport.  There is a 0/0
sub-directory pair and the legend dir.

I have left the proxy settings in marble blank as I appear to be able to
browse fairly freely with my current settings from IE.  If I look at LAN
settings in the browser those have "Use proxy server for you LAN"
unchecked.  But there is an entry pointing to Use of an "automatic
configuration script".  The company url that points to includes
"default.pac" as a target - presumably the script on an internal server.  I
don't know what this does.

Security settings for the internet zone are set to Medium-High.

Using IE I can browse to a.tile.openstreetmap.org and get a page stating
"You've reached the OpenStreetMap mapnik tile server".

Wikipedia does not work, nor do clouds.  Routing will slowly bring up end
points but I've not been able to return any routes between London and a UK
town called Lewes or another called Horsham.

I can see plugins as follows in the plugin dir (some of which seem to work
- others not i.e. I take OsmPlugin to be not working because I only get the
watery globe with no land details, but it is present).  I'm wondering if it
is simple as the standard windows download doesn't come with an essential
network service plugin? Torsten - I think you might have indirectly implied
something along these lines.

P.S. Otherwise, progress using Marble on Linux has been excellent; I've got
a very usable application on which I use one of 3 maps themes to show some
of our assets to good effect.  Also doing "find the nearest" analysis and
clicking through items in lists in other UI components to navigate to the
relevant asset.  This Marble stuff is *really* good...
