Tileset downloads fail
« on: May 07, 2010, 12:24:26 PM »
I have been using the TopoWMS tilesets without difficulty until today, when I could not get the finer maps to load and began getting a  "Topofusion is having trouble contacting one or more of its map servers" popup message.  And "Map Downloading" kept getting toggled off.  So I tried to switch to the "Topo..." tileset using the Tileset selector on the toolbar line.  I can get a display at the Topo16M level but when I try to go to a smaller scale I just get the "Downloading Checkmark" images displayed - and after awhile I again get the popup and "Downloading Disabled" appears.  My internet connection is OK and I have not made any Topofusion changes since my last usage, except for the tileset change.   Is the problem truly at the server (in which case others should also be having problems) or really at my PC?  Can I be sure that I am now really using "Topo4M" server rather than my previous TopoWMS server?

Definitely a server problem.  We just released a new (beta) version that corrects the issue for the main (built in) terraserver tilesets.  It should be publicly available soon.

You can fix your TopoWMS by going to the CustomWMS server dialog and changing the server from "terraserver-usa.com" to "msrmaps.com" .

Supposedly they were going to keep forwarding requests from terraserver-usa.com to msrmaps.com indefinitely.  But as of today that does not seem to be the case.  Thus the new version.

If all you use is TopoWMS, the change should be all you need.

Thanks, the WMS tiles now work for me.
