Hi

I'm trying to update one of the tile server URL's and wonder if I've got it right.

The original was :-

MigurskisTerrain = 'http://tile.stamen.com/terrain-background';

I've changed it to this :-

MigurskisTerrain = 'https://tiles.stadiamaps.com/tiles/stamen_terrain-background';

Instead of a map tile all I get is a 401 Invalid returned.

Am I missing something, or are these tiles no longer free to access?

Bruce.

Hi Bruce

I tested https://tiles.stadiamaps.com/tiles/stamen_terrain/ and got an authentication error images, so it looks like you need to pass an API.

Email me your API key if you want me to test that.

Hi Nigel

Thanks for your reply, and yes, stadiamaps are far from free.

All I want to do is update my cache of map tiles for the world, which is quite large but has missing tiles at the more zoomed in levels.

I have discovered what could help me, it's also probably the only free tile map server left in the world!

https://openfreemap.org/quick_start/

I've tried the obvious:-

map:=TIESlippyMap.Create('https://tiles.openfreemap.org/styles/liberty','D:\Maps\FreeTiles');

With no luck - can you have a see if it's possible?

Bruce.

Hi Bruce

openfreemap.org does not appear to offer direct access to image tiles the way that TIESlippyMap requires, e.g.

https://tiles.stadiamaps.com/tiles/stamen_terrain/{z}/{x}/{y}{r}.png

That's a great shame!
