Captured time
2013–2016


The donated server Benzene is currently using TileStache to proxy imagery for the locations in the table below. The tiles are hosted at the following location: http://{a,b,c}.tile.openstreetmap.us/<layer_id>/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.jpg. The DNS prefixes a, b, and c can speed up tile access.

For iD use the follow URL for a custom background:

  • http://{switch:a,b,c}.tile.openstreetmap.us/<layer_id>/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.jpg

For JOSM use the first if max_zoom is known, otherwise use the second:

  • tms[<max_zoom>]:http://{switch:a,b,c}.tile.openstreetmap.us/<layer_id>/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.jpg
  • tms:http://{switch:a,b,c}.tile.openstreetmap.us/<layer_id>/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.jpg

For Potlatch 2:

  • http://${a|b|c}.tile.openstreetmap.us/<layer_id>/{zoom}/$z/$x/$y.jpg

To add a layer, please send a message to Ian.
