[MAP and Overlay] OSM classic with local labels

[brotbuexe]

OSM have a classic map version without labes, and labels in different languages (if available in the osm data) as layers.

As locus already have the map included, the Tile Usage policy should also apply to this Overlay:  http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tile_usage_policy

The map with id 10501 is the baselayer without the labels. For a list of available language codes: https://toolserver.org/~osm/locale/. Just copy a provider, change the ID to a number that don't already exist, change the url part to the language code you want.

if it does not exist, create a /sdcard/locus/mapsOnline/custom/provider.xml and insert this text:
If it already exist edit it and just insert the <provider*> ... </provider> stuff inside the <providers> ... </providers> xml tags.

Now you have a new base map under "OSM" and new maps under "OSM - layers" you can use as overlays in 2.3.X (Main menu / Functions / Map overlays), you can add this function to the right toolbar for quicker use...
