So as I mentioned in the other thread, I have a new OpenGuides-based project in development. I would like to use OpenStreetMap tiles for this rather than the default Google Maps ones. I've got that part working thanks to this example: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Maps_Example
but I would like to have the tiles _without_ the automatic addition of pub/restaurant/shop markers (like the ones shown here: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.204781&lon=0.128992&zoom=18 ).
Does anyone happen to know if there's a way to do this? I'm hoping the answer is as simple as "use another tileserver, e.g. this one"...

If the mapquest OSM tiles are good enough http://mapq.st/suv2Cq then you can use them: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mapquest#MapQuest-hosted_map_tiles
Cloudmade are the only other source I'm aware of of free (as in beer) tiles, but you'll need to wrestle with their API.

Perfect, thank you!
While I was doing this I realised how easy it would be to let users have a choice of map tiles, and I made it so: http://london.randomness.org.uk/scripts/locate.cgi?loc=CR0&map=1&map...
(I decided to leave the default as Google Maps on RGL, but will have it as MapQuest on the new project.)
