Openstreetmap - Layers seclection

[Yaktati]

I discover Phoca Maps with Openstreetmap today - GREAT but ...
I need the Transport layer ...

Indeed :
Openstreetmap offers several very useful layers :
• Routes layer
• Transport layer
• CyclOSM layer
• …

A parameter in the map description should select the layer
It seems to be easy to develop

Thanks to Phoca developpers

Hi, did you try to use KML file to insert layers Maybe, this could be the way for displaying layers.

Hi,
Thank for proposal, solution could be by KLM file, but too difficult to envisage
Problem is very more simple : it'is the choice between the layers existing in OSM,
Have a look for samples for Brussels :
I would like to present the 2 maps (please zoom it) :
- https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/5 ... 2&layers=N
- https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/5 ... &layers=NT
This last layer show common transports in a town as you cannot view in Google Maps
In OSM, you have the feature to select layers by the parameter "layer" which could take the following values :
N, YN, CN, TN, PN, ON, HN
I don't find any parameter to define the layer.
It's easy to implement and offers 7 possibilities without equivalent in Google Maps

Hi, can you paste here more detailed information about the code which is needed to set such layers?

Hi
I don't know the code needed
I just know that the current extension use a url like that
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/5 ... 2&layers=N
Code must be extended to have the choice for the layer N, NT, ...
I just need to show map
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/5 ... &layers=NT
(with NT as last parameter)
I don't have sufficient knowledge in PHP to propose the relevant code
Who can propose it ?
It will be great to propose it in the next version of Phoca Maps

The GPS coordinates are already transmitted to the API. Why not the layer code (N, NT, ...) ?
