Just curious whether there is a free tile service available for BC OSM
data?&nbsp; I'm interested in accessing it from standard GIS software, e.g.
Manifold, ArcGIS, QGIS, etc., as an alternative to constantly configuring
basemap vector data.<br>
<br>
If not, can anyone recommend an organization we could approach to offer this up
in a reasonable amount of time?&nbsp; E.g. Safe Software, GeoBC?&nbsp; Or might
there be interest in self-funding a hosted service via OSGEO-BC, e.g. $10/mth
per acct?<br>
