MapQuest API retired #6

Closed joeywas closed 7 years ago

MapQuest no longer allows direct tile access. This broke maps used in the SARCAT app.

JasonDalton commented 8 years ago

We're looking for a good replacement. MapQuest had a nice free map API that let any org get started with SARCAT without too many IT entanglements. We're looking for a good replacement. A good alternative would have

None of the top map APIs: Google, Bing, Here, MapBox, MapZen, etc fit these requirements.

We're looking for a solution. I haven't checked the ESRI map tiles yet or their terms of use. That may work out. We'll keep you posted and thanks for bringing this up!

ESRI's api works as a drop in replacement in the app/settings.json file:

Excellent! We'll add that.

Is there a topo map end point also?

JasonDalton commented 8 years ago

I found this in their docs: http://services.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/World_Topo_Map/MapServer/tile/4/4/4 This should work.

I'll play around with that. Want me to submit a pull request once I've made the changes?

JasonDalton commented 8 years ago

Great, thanks!

We accepted PR 8, which fixed this bug. The server demo is updated, and the version on Amazon AWS Marketplace will be updated shortly. Thanks!
