[Qgis-user] OpenStreetMap Error

[Laura O'Grady]

Hi Glenn,

I'm away from my machine that has QGIS installed so I can't recreate the steps I used to d/l tiles. Pls take a look at the archives as I know i described it there. 

I was only ever able to get it to work for an individual session - when I close the .qgs file with the OSM-related work and re-open it the OSM map tiles are not there. I have to re-load as a basemap via the Open Layers menu. I thought when I had it working in 2.2 that this was not the case. I may be wrong because it was only a few weeks between my use of 2.2 and 2.4, which was what broke the OSM plug-in for me.

I am trying to obtain a Google/Yahoo map for an area in central California that I have been able to successfully map in QGIS 1.8. I doubt that the area I am trying to map is too large.

I opened a project I made using Qgis 1.8 and the street map layer was no longer there. I then opened the OpenStreetMap (Vector --> OpenStreetMap --> Download Data) in Qgis 2.2, left the defaults alone, and clicked on the "OK" button. I received the following error message:
