Hybrid Assistat showing blank map

Here's a link to start you off
OpenStreetMap

why some open source projects are reducing service to proprietary apps is beyond the scope of my post.
there are apps that may intigate with HA at google play or the app story but that is also beyond the scope of the post.
I sincerely hope that this may make some sense, beyond \the response form the HA support team.

 

who are you interested in helping? opensteetmaps , HA or yourself?
The response from HA support was pretty clear to me.

 

I was thinking that link would be a link to the announcement of some policy change ... but it just seems to be a link to a map, no?

 

hey ya win some and ya lose some. I was curious about HA and openstreetmaps too.

 

So have you got a link to OpenStreetMaps policies for this stuff? I spent a few minutes looking yesterday but came up empty.

 

Without seeing anything from OpenStreetMap about what their policies are, do we even think that's what would work?

 

None
I rarely use either HA or Openstreetmaps

Now that I have a clue what your OP was about here's a link for others seeing this thread. Should I assume you've already been to this OSM page?
OpenStreetMap Wiki

 

Nothing wrong with a generic link to the top of the wiki, but the link posted in #12 is probably more directly on point. I'll see if I can repost it here more directly, as the forum software did some odd proxy thing to it in #12:

Tile Usage Policy

It might be that, without a little bit of network tracing, we don't know exactly which of those rules HA might be running afoul of (if, indeed, that's what's happening).

 

apps are apps the dev are dev however they want to publish and support their work. sdk s keep changing with each new release as do the rules to get an app approved, especially for app store. Not that play store doesn't change their rules for publication of app but I've never heard ( not yet anyways ) an android app dev complain about having to pay to get an app approved.

 

I realize it's hard to follow. It's even more complicated when discussing proprietary works and their licensing constraints. Than trying to understand how HA might interface with openstreetmaps the way you'd like to be able to set it up inside your HA app. Now there are 3 different licenses that have to work together. And that can be a lot of extra work for little to no gain, especially if having a small team.

 

My impression? as a non dev and what I understand about OSM is that you'd like to add a feature of policy to HA so you can rewrite the current HA anonymous credential(s) to OSM that will support a profile ( either the one already on your ( phone, tab, watch ) or one you fill in ad hoc to support the interface between HA and OSM.
I did read you mention you could run your own OSM server. Not a trivial task, but sometimes, especially with opensouce projects it becomes necessary to get a feel for how the connections to the servers are handled, along with all the other trivial and non trivial issues that a project faces and are completely unknown to most users.
I'm not suggesting that running an OSM server is what you'd want to do. I wouldn't want to either. But in my understanding, creating a policy for HA to authenticate a personal profile on the OSM server(s) is a lot of work that is going to need a good understanding of cert exchange and attention to specific policy changes that can be / are changed on the OSM side of things.
