Installable 2D Map Providers

How to install map providers is described here

The following list of map providers can be imported into the application. Because the map providers use map tile images from different tile servers, it is possible that a tile server can be not available .

When a profile map provider is imported, all contained map providers will also be created and are displayed in the map provider list.

Some of the listed map providers do support map images only for a part of the world.

1) Thunderforest API Key

The watermark API Key Required in the tile images will disappear, when an API key is used. This API key is free for 150'000 tile requests per month (July 2019) and can be requested here https://www.thunderforest.com/pricing/

Before you are using the API key, the cached map images has to be deleted because they contain the API key watermark.

When you have received the API key, it can be entered in the map provider configuration dialog into the text field which is marked in the screenshot below.

After entering the API key press Show/Update Custom Map this will also delete the old map tile images.

 

api-key-thunderforest

 

Installing all map providers

Instead of installing each map provider separately, this zip archive can be downloaded/expanded and all above map providers can be installed at once.

Do a fresh installation of all map providers

There may be naming conflicts with already installed map providers when importing all above map providers at once. Therefore it is recommended to remove all old map providers, which can be done with these steps:

  • Close MyTourbook
  • Delete (or rename) this file: <Data-Directory>\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\net.tourbook\custom-map-provider.xml
  • Run MyTourbook
  • Install all map providers (this is a new feature in 19.07) from the downloaded and expanded zip archive with the import button or with drag & drop in the map provider preferences

 

This procedure was also used to test the installation of map providers

 

Other Map Providers

A very long list of 2D map providers can be found in osmlab.github.io, their url can be used to a create a custom map provider here.
