Is there any topo map for France available to use is in Locu

@skids: Thank you for pointing to this, I can wait for a general solution. "Quick map change" - did not know this, great tip!

@mimichris: Thanks, will try this next time!

Tried using topomap to download another area of France today.  All tiles downloads are failing.  I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem - is it an issue with geoportail, or am I being blocked maybe?

Ah - don't worry - I've just gone to the geoportail website, and there's a message about possible problems until end July, so I guess that explains it.

I also could not make TopoMap work with Geoportail / IGN France.

It seems that Geoportail changed their projection (and possibly other things) July 2012. I guess this might be the reason.
The good news however is that MOBAC now works like a charm with Geoportail!

Just create an XML file in the mapsources directory of MOBAC with this content:

Code: [Select]

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<customMapSource>
   <name>Geoportail</name>
   <minZoom>0</minZoom>
   <maxZoom>18</maxZoom>
   <tileType>jpg</tileType>
   <tileUpdate>None</tileUpdate>
   <url>http://gpp3-wxs.ign.fr/6usqvehthxi0ck95g2s9sc36/wmts?SERVICE=WMTS&amp;VERSION=1.0.0&amp;REQUEST=GetTile&amp;LAYER=GEOGRAPHICALGRIDSYSTEMS.MAPS&amp;STYLE=normal&amp;FORMAT=image/jpeg&amp;TILEMATRIXSET=PM&amp;TILEMATRIX={$z}&amp;TILEROW={$y}&amp;TILECOL={$x}</url>
   <backgroundColor>#000000</backgroundColor>
</customMapSource>
And then start up MOBAC and select Geoportail as your map source. Use atlas format "Big Planet Tracks SQLite" and you can add it straight to Locus!

Sorry! I had to delete my entry about importing IGN Geoportail maps in Locus.
IGN does not appreciate Locus downloading illegally maps from Géoportail.
This was against the terms of use of the site.

Thank you. I think a lot of people waited for this. Works excellent.  :mrgreen:

You may unzip this small symbol into the same directory, where you have your provider.xml.
