Hi,
We're thinking to have our own OpenStreetMap server.
Actually, we cannot specify a private server to be used by the OpenStreetMap layer.
Is there a plan to provide this functionality in the future 6.0 version ?
Thanks,

Puthirak,
We can absolutely add a way for you to specify the server you want as long as it takes the same kind of query string as the open street map server. There are a few things we will do for maximum flexibility. First we can add a URL property so you can specify the URL. Next we can add some events so that you can intercept the request before and after it is made and in the event you can monkey with the URL if needed. The trick is going to be making the changes across all of our products. We have a Layer, WPF Overlay, Desktop Overlay, Web Overlay, and Silverlight Overlay if I remember correctly. When would you need this feature? When do you expect to make the decision?

Hi David,
Thank you for your answers.
It would be great to have these two options.
When would you need this feature?
Well, first quarter of 2012 will be great :)
When do you expect to make the decision?
The creation of a private OpenStreetMap server will depend entirely on the addition of this feature :)
So if you add it, we'll create our server right away.

Puthirak,
We will go ahead and add this feature. I hope to get it finished this week. I will let you know when it is in and what the build number is.
David
Puthirak,
We have added a new property on the OSM related layers and overlays. The new property, ServerUris, allows you to specify your own set or uris for the Open Street Map server. We are in the process of adding the events now but you should be able to use the new property with tomorrows daily developer builds. Let me know how it works for you. :-)
David
Hi David,
Sorry for the delay, I was on holiday :)
So, that's great news. I did not expected the new feature to be implemented that fast :)
I'll give our feedback as soon as possible. But not that soon as I'm on something else actually ^^;
Thanks,
P.OM
David,
I've downloaded the daily build (WpfDesktopEditionFull5.5.59.0DllPackage).
The property ServerUris is read only. You cannot change it.

P.OM
Puthirak,
All of our collections are read only. :-) You can clear the collection and add directly to it. Not that this name might change in the new future to CustomServerUris. This is so that the collection can be empty by default.
David
David,
Hum that was a stupid question from me :)
The property from the OpenStreetMapOverlay seems to return null. Can you confirm it ?
One question: Did you access to the tile server or the database server or both ?
Regards,
P.OM
Puthirak,
Can you get the latest edition and try again? We also changed the property to CustomServerUris. By default it is empty and as you add stuff it will use that instead of its internal default, which go to the open layers server.
David
David,
Okay. I've made a sample where I pass the address of the tile server of OpenStreetMap and it works :)
Regards,
P.OM
Puthirak,
I am glad we could help you for that. Thank you.
