Firefox os maps

[+reddeeps]

I love this script but all I get now is unable to contact server, does anyone know if there is a problem or if its just me.

Same here, but just since this morning.

[+Guanajuato]

Same here. I got an email newsletter from the Ordnance Survey Yesterday, saying their website has been relaunched. Could this have broken the script? Sent Edge a message.

[+Just Roger]

Yes Broken for me too. I hope someone can get it working again.

[+Teuchters]

I got this message...

Oops! Firefox could not find ge.pythonmoo.co.uk

[+Gralorn]

Geocachers calling Edge, Geocachers calling Edge....HEEEEEEELLLLPPPPPPP Please, really miss the OS maps on Firefox cache Pages.

[+Graculus]

I have dropped Mr Edgemaster an email about this problem.

I found a sort of temporary fix to let me print what I need for the easter holiday, via the osm maps in GSAK for the cache pages (Im still not paperless), then exporting from GSAK via a google earth macro, and using the os overlays in google earth, to get the proper os maps for the area.

I hope that makes sense as Im not techie, but it worked for me

[+weston wanderer]

I use Firefox but don't know which OS maps you mean?

 

I can see Streetmap on cache pages - is that it?

No, this is something completely different. You need the Edgemaster OS map substituter Greasemonkey script. But not just now 'cos its broken.....

[+j.ollie]

Any news from edgemaster?

[+Graculus]

Sorry not yet.

I contacted Edge about this via facebook...

 

He's in Scotland at the moment and has exams after Easter so he says, "...it could be a while."

So its a matter of Education, Education, Education before the matter of Location, Location, Location. Good luck with those exams and we will just wait patiently for their return, That is Edge and the maps! Thanks for the update Mrs B, rhymes with Orange. :rolleyes:

[+j.ollie]

Does anyone have a cached copy of the HTML from

 

http://ge.pythonmoo.co.uk/gcmap/internalmap.htm

 

If we had that it'd be pretty easy to edit the GreasMonkey script and host the HTML somewhere else. Ironically, I had been thinking about doing that anyway because I wanted to experiment with some customizations...

In the meantime, how do I get it back to the normal maps?

[+Bear and Ragged]

Right click on Greasemonkey, disable the relevant script...

Sorted. Thanks. Wasn't sure which script it was as I've got a few to do with the maps.

[Edgemaster]

Ok, I'm now back from Scotland (and oh my! haven't the forums changed a lot!)

 

Some changes seem to have been made to the domain name (I'm not the owner of it), these have now been fixed. I'm now transferring the domain to myself (he was considering letting it expire!)

 

Things should be once again working.

.....so I right click on the Greasemonkey and enable the relevant script.

 

Thanks Edgemaster

Sounds a really useful script - got a link?

[+Write and Mane]

Thank you. xxx

[+reddeeps]

Yippee thanks

[+Gralorn]

Thank you very much indeed. I find these maps on the cache page one of the best assets that there are for the actual cache page. Certainly miss them when they are not available that's for sure. Thanks again, appreciated.

For anyone interested a bookmarklet to see OS maps on the new beta maps...

 

javascript:for%20(i=0;%20i<document.getElementById('map_canvas').childNodes[0].childNodes[0].childNodes[7].childNodes[0].childNodes.length;%20i++)%20{document.getElementById('map_canvas').childNodes[0].childNodes[0].childNodes[7].childNodes[0].childNodes[i].childNodes[0].src=document.getElementById('map_canvas').childNodes[0].childNodes[0].childNodes[7].childNodes[0].childNodes[i].childNodes[0].src.replace(/(http.+?tiles.virtualearth.net\/tiles\/r\d+?)\?.*/g,%20"$1?g=604&productSet=mmOS");};%20void(0);

(edit: seems you can't link to js so needs to be installed by creating a bookmark rather than drag/drop)

 

To use - load up beta maps, select Bing Maps and then (and only then as this is written - if someone fancies improving the logic, please do) run the bookmarklet.

(It's not fantastic as you need to rerun the bookmarklet if you scroll/zoom but was a quick way to do what I wanted...)

and for some reason I seem to be unable to edit the last post.

[+Teuchters]

Is this broken again or is it me? Using FF5.0 - all I get is a blank box then a message to tell me that the connection to the server was reset....

Yes, think it's down again.

[+Just Roger]

Definitely broken again. It has been working for me with no trouble for the last month or more on FF 5 so its not that. Hopefully one of the Grease monkey script wizards can wave their magic wand over it and get it started again.

 

AFAIK the failure didn't coincide with a Groundspeak update so it could be there has been a change at the OS end.

[+Moote]

Personally I avoid FireFox, as it is these days no more secure than IE, you should all change to a better browser, as an aside, Grease Monkey is one of the reasons which has added to FF being very insecure, and it is entirely possible for unsuspecting people to have major amounts of detail transferred to a 3rd party without any knowledge of this happening. It has been done, and will probably never change, as the scripts are understood by only the Tefal heads amongst us

[+Just Roger]

They are working again this evening. I guess it was an OS problem.

I've had a go at writing a script that adds Ordnance Survey maps back into both the geocache listings and the Geocaching Maps Beta page. It's available from userscripts.org at http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/109145

 

It adds OS maps and Bing's aerial view into the list of Map Type options for Geocaching Maps Beta, and makes OS maps an option when you view the dynamic map on a cache page.

 

I've only tested it using Firefox 5, so any feedback is welcome!

I actually came here looking for the link to re-install the Edgemaster script but after seeing and downloading this I'm really happy. A big thanks and a plea that it is kept updated if GC make any changes. Highly recommended.

I missed this part at first. Wow! I was already pleased with this script when I thought it just worked on the new beta maps. Now I'm mega impressed.

 

THANKS!!

 

[+ivanidea]

I don't get OS maps on the Beta Maps page, but I am still on FF3.6 (don't like the newer versions).

 

I do get the icon which creates a new page with the cache list.

I'm on FF 3.6 but cant get any of the scripts to install :-(

Works fine on FF5 so this must be nature's way of telling you it's time to upgrade.

FF5 is OK... Honest I've not had any problems with it.

Well that is brilliant, thank you so much, upgraded my version of firefox and worked prefectly.

I've just had a play with my script on a linux machine with FF3.6.8, and confirmed it doesn't work properly on the main Geocaching Maps page. Unfortunately I'm not yet sure what is causing the error, so I'll fiddle with it over the next few days. However, it does still seem to work under FF3.6 for inserting dynamic OS maps onto cache pages.

 

If the script isn't working under FF5, first check that Geocaching.com is working as you expect with Greasemonkey turned off! I was having intermittent problems last night where the base maps all worked fine, but the geocache overlay didn't show up. As far as I can tell it was a problem with the website, not the script, as it's working fine again today.

 

If the website is OK, and you're using FF5, a possible problem could be a conflict with another Greasemonkey script that you have installed. You can check this by disabling all the other scripts that act on the same page, and seeing if the enhanced maps script works. If it does, re-enable the other scripts one at a time, re-loading the web page after each one, and see which one breaks my script.

 

If anyone spots any clues, let me know and I'll try to get it working for as many people as I can.
