OSM as map option

Post by MartinX »

It would be a dream if you could change the map from Google Maps to OpenStreetMap (OSM) for the position view. OSM maps are much more detailed off the road.

- Added gpsProvider=osm in [General] section
- still Google maps ... :|




Edit Some days later :
Thank you Ciciobello (see next post)
[%General] section added with gpsProvider=osm
... it's OK
In View mode, right click, proprties, GPS tab is still with Google maps
For now, it's a good thing, so that I can use the one that gives best results.
