<br>
Just curious whether there is a free tile service available for BC OSM
data? 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? E.g. Safe Software, GeoBC? Or might
there be interest in self-funding a hosted service via OSGEO-BC, e.g. $10/mth
per acct?<br>
