Thanks for the great module.
Is there any chance of getting multimap into this module as it would be extremely useful to me

As far as I can see multimap is just an API wrapper around Bing. If this is the case then we will not be implementing support for multimap, but I could be missing something. What exactly is the functionality you are looking for?

Thanks for your quick response,
I'm currently using custom code to use multimap API which is bing now eg http://munro-madness.com/hills/beinn-alligin-sgurr-mhor/large-map which has UK OS (Ordnance Survey) view. Is this possible to do using Openlayers module as I see this as the future of geolocation modules. Any advice appreciated as I can try and contribute back.

Yes - there's an OpenLayers.Layer.MultiMap type and I'll add it to the layer types in the module. (note, I am out of the country till the 26th so can't do much development till then)

Thanks alot thats great news for me, I can think about moving all my mapping stuff to Openlayers.

Sorry, is MultiMap still functional? I'm trying to sign up for a key to test and the website seems borked / bought by Bing.

Yes it's still functional, but I see what you mean. I've just logged into my account and looks like they've let it go css broken and bad ssl cert (I somehow thought this may happen when they were bought out about a year ago). I wonder if I can get the desired map tiles from bing as there is an option on the uk version to get an ordnance survey map view once you zoom in a bit.

Thanks anyway.

Yeah, for the time being, this won't be added, but if MultiMap gets their act together or there's a better ordnance survey map service, it'll be added.

Okay, reopen if MultiMap is revived.

Hi tmcw,

It would be great if this could be done. This looks like a much easier route to OS mapping data that OpenSpace. It is possible to add this in?

Thanks,

David

P.S. I've created an API account with Multimap, and it seems to be working OK.

Oof, I consider myself pretty decent at the internet, but this MultiMap stuff is just, in a word, screwed. Signing in gives 404s, and after registering for an API key, there's no page to find your key... I'll implement this functionality as a patch and you guys can test it, but I'm flying blind to whether this will actually work.

Could someone point me to the OpenLayers code which is needed for MultiMap? Or where the API keys are?

I've cobbled an example for multimap (bing) using open layers at http://munro-madness.com/map.html . It seems to work as expected.
To get the functionality that I need it needs the code which works but I'm not sure why. 

/**************** Needs these in to get use ordinace survey maps **************************/
            var prefs = [904];
            MMDataResolver.setDataPreferences(MM_WORLD_MAP, prefs);
