Notes |
Purpose of the mod
This mod installs OpenStreetMap (OSM) maps if you don't have a GoogleMap API key.
The benefit is that you don't have to register anywhere for anything.
Simply Install, Empty your API key box, Save and it's done.
The downside is that OSM maps are in many cases not as detailed as Googlemaps, especially outside the more urban areas.
I have added two maps that are more detailed re "rural roads" called ESRI World Street Map and ESRI World Topo Map. (See the Edit Options below)
NEW from mod version 4: Toggle your map with a Satellite view
(Previously on "Replacing Googlemaps with OSM": TNG Community Forum: Replace Google with OSM)

For TNG v10.1.3 Ken Roy and Alan Craxford kindly modified the v11 .cfg
For TNG v10.1.4 Alan Craxford kindly provided the .cfg
Requirements
TNG version: | ≥ 10.1.3 |
- A working TNG installation.
- A backup of all affected files (see the list below)
- An installed current version of the Mod Manager (is already included in TNG)
- Latitude and Longitude with decimal points (not decimal commas)
Installation
- Click on the download link, shown in the summary in the upper right corner of the page.
- Un-zip the file and you will find the .cfg file and the accompanying folder
- Move/copy/FTP the .cfg file and the folder OpenStreetMap.X to the mods folder of your TNG system.
- Follow the normal automated installation for Mod Manager, as shown in the example Mod Manager - Installing Config Files to install the mod.
- Use Modmanager Edit options to select your map.
- Open Administrator >> Setup >> Map Settings and make sure the Map Key box is empty. Then click Save.
- Clear your cache.
Modmanager Edit options
- Choose from ten maps. Default = OSM. See the OpenStreetMap Choices page for examples
Acronyms for MM Edit options: OSM (default), OSMFR, SURF, EWSM, EWTM, SAT, HYDDA, WIKI, MTB and TOPO.
NOTE that the SATellite view contains NO names or other labels. - Scale units for maps. Select "degrees", "us" (miles) or some other. Spellcheck! default = "metric".
- Close pop-up also by clicking the map. Default = false (no)
- Mouse scroll-wheel can zoom maps. Default = false (no)
- A "glowing" layer between icons and map in the heatmaps. Default = true (yes) Not v10
Geocoding when Adding or Editing places (see below):
- Number of items in the suggestion list. Default = 5
- Keep the list open after selection. Default = false (no)
- Max zom after selection. Default = 16
- Copy place to Name box at page top. Default = false (no)
- Include Zip-code (when available) in copied name. Default = true (yes)
- Comma separated list of Country names to exclude from copied name. Default is "" (empty - none)
In the event of a problem
NOTE! Heatmaps may show a map only.
This is a known problem as the data is read by a special interpretator and it is very sensitive about what characters there are in Place names, Person names and Notes.
All problematic characters I have found have been taken care of but there may be some I don't know.
Please contact me through My Mod Support if you encounter this.
Other issues:
- Try using the Mod Manager Remove capability
- Replace all affected files with the copies you made before the installation.
- Contact me through My Mod Support
Geocoding (Add and Edit place)
Batch geocoding is disabled. Simply because I don't know how to make batch calls to OSM.
Anyone care to help?
You CAN still (June 29) batch geocode! Read more here https://tng.community/index.php?/forums/topic/12898-geocoding-tab-missing-in-tng-1201/&_fromLogin=1
When you open the map (Add new place) it is empty. (If you edit a place it is of course pointed to).
Click the magnifying glass to get a textbox: || Enter a (partial) placename - local name prefered but English often works (img: Jonkoping - Jönköping)
||
Press Enter to receive a reply. Nothing happens? If there is no reply, there is no sign of it. No message, nothing...
If you do get a reply you will have a list of suggestions (incl such characters as "ö"):
Click a suggestion and the map zooms in to the place and Latitude, Longitude and Zoom will be placed in their respective boxes:
You have to provide the Level yourself. You also have to add the Place Name to the box at the top. There is a Modmanager Edit option to have the name copied automatically.
Uninstalling the mod
If you want to completely Remove (uninstall) this mod and all its tables, you should
- click the Remove button to uninstall the mod and then
- click the Delete button to delete the config file from the mods folder.
