I have just started using Tile Proxy and really enjoy it. However, I am having a problem. I can't get Service 4 to work. The DOS screens scrolls very fast with Service 4 and as best I can read it basically say cannot connect. I don't have any problems with Service 1 and 3. I am using Ed Truthan's ini file. Can someone tell me what the "module_config" should be.Below is my current Service 4 ini:[service Example 4]cache_folder=C:\cache.service4network_module=libnettilemodule_config="conn=20|rate=2.0|verbose=0|server=http://mapcache*.ask.com|path=/sat/%Z/%X/%Y?partner=|balance=1234|useragent=Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)"min_level=5max_level=19map_version=1color_hack=Yescolor_level=12bulk_extend=50Also, after Tile Proxy get done loading using Service 1 and 3, in the DOS window, the top left oval is still empty, while the remaining 9 ovals are filled with asterics. Is that normal?What is the best service for North America and the Caribbean?Thanks in advance.Brad

Service 4 uses Service 1's map servers as you can see if you point your browser to Ask.com and look at "their" map service. Why go through an extra layer of server to get to the same images?

Also, after Tile Proxy get done loading using Service 1 and 3, in the DOS window, the top left oval is still empty, while the remaining 9 ovals are filled with asterics. Is that normal?

Mine fills but then I don't use the 'included' LOD 8 feature that Christian included with the latest distribution. You will NOT load LOD8 imagery if you are already using his built-in ones - maybe that's why it doesn't show...

What is the best service for North America and the Caribbean?

I switch back and forth... but my first choice is always service1 unless the detail or color is better in 3 at a particular location and resolution. Compare the two at flashearth.com. I pick the best combination for a particular location. My 'base' from 10-13 is almost always service 1 but after that I judge each resolution independently for the most consistant color. A few places I don't even fly because both have poor coverage at this time - and I won't even bother with B/W imagery and the color hack.Loyd

If you want a second opinion Brad, I would concur with Loyd 100% on this one.IAN
