More maps ... ?

First off, I am not in the US and consequently don't use those map tiles Topofusion offers, so I am not sure how these map tiles would compare. But with OSM tiles now available in Topofusion, I thought I would throw out this information in case you find a use for it.

MapQuest offers open aerial tiles in a similar format to their MapQuest OSM tiles. See the last section of this post:

There are other "open" services they offer, too.

Safe rides,

Thanks for the pointer to that!  It was pretty easy to drop them both into TopoFusion.  For sure the mapquest version of the OSM tiles will be in the next release.  Open aerial, too.  Unfortunately it looks like the open aerial doesn't add anything (yet) that TF doesn't already have.  It's the same NASA data that TF's Landsat uses, and in the US it is very similar to the "Color" layer already in TF.

Hopefully they find some good sources of non-US aerial data over time.  The different view on the mapquest OSM tiles will be a nice add too.

Thanks.
