ESRI ArcGIS Flex API extension for OSM basemap released
Posted by joshmarcus on 29 January 2010 in English.I'm pleased to share that Avencia -- the GIS software development company I work for -- has just open sourced and released our code for ESRI's ArcGIS Flex API that provides an OSM basemap from the tile service.
Here's a link to the code, and a link to the live sample with source and class documentation available.

Nice, but OSM offers a WMS server, so wouldn't that be the better way to embedd OSM to (any) GIS?

In this case, the ArcGIS Flex API doesn't offer a tiled WMS layer either -- only a WMS service that requests the entire viewport -- but I didn't realize that there was an OSM WMS service. Is there one that supports Web Mercator?
