Is there a way to use this addon with offline maps provided let's say by an OepnStreetMap server ?

I need a little more insight...

In my opinion, no. Because you need some sort of WMS/WMTS compatbile source. If you are working offline, you need the tool chain local to provide the map...

AFAIK there is a way to install a tile server on the intranet. Here is the discussion: https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/21059/using-map-of-my-city-on-offline-intranet

Is there a possibility to change the URL address of the WMS source with this addon ?

[Styp]

Ah, yes! I can provide a snippet tomorow, with a custom configuration for OSM. In the end it is a WMS or WMTS Source - you just need to configure the parameters accordingly ;).

Great ! Thank you !

What you need is a WMS or TileWMS source. After this it is just a question of the right settings. Until you don't have a WMS Server running, vol3 is probably not your problem - at least not for the moment...

    protected OLSource createSource() {
        OLTileWMSSourceOptions options =new OLTileWMSSourceOptions();
        // WebMapService of World http://www.osm-wms.de/
        options.setUrl("http://129.206.228.72/cached/osm");
        Map<String,String> params=new HashMap<String,String>();
        params.put("LAYERS","osm_auto:all");
        params.put("FORMAT","image/png");
        options.setParams(params);
        options.setGutter(2.0);
        return new OLTileWMSSource(options);
    }

This is an example setup, as we use it. It can be found in demo project. Its the one called 'TileWMSMap'.

Hope this solves your problem...

Hi Styp, I'm trying to set the offline map but without any success. I have a folder with all the tiles in png divided for zoom levels and I set the above url as path of the folder but no map is shown.

At this point my question is: can it work using that folder or I need a server?

[Styp]

Not sure, I'll have a look at it...

Surely you need a WMS server. See http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/services/wms/reference.html for an overview for the requirements for the WMS and the url format. There is no way you could map such requests without additional logic to a set of files on a normal web server. Of course it may be that your browser caches the tiles after loading but that is a different story.

mhosio thanks for the suggestion but I finally found the solution I was checking for.

Since the OLOSMSource is a OLXYZSource, it's enought to set the URL template:

OLOSMSource source = new OLOSMSource(options); source.setUrlTemplate("my_tiles_folder/{z}/{x}/{y}.png");

This worked fine for me.
