Hello, I see also no problem to use hikebikemap over a caching-server, as long as you keep under 10 Tilerequest/sec in average and 100 Tilerequests/sec in peak. I hope that's ok for you, else we need to talk.
(We deliver in the moment nearly 100 Tiles/sec, but we can deliver more.)
Greetings Kolossos

Hello everyone,
my name is Klaus Bechtold from Berlin, the guy behind the hobby project and one-man-show GPSies.com (http://www.gpsies.com/). As you know, many of the map mashups or community must change from Google Maps to alternatives (because we're over the limit of 25.000 API calls a day).
I just changed to the new JS API from Cloudmade, called Leaflet and I am using the free MapQuest maps (which are good, but not good enough for outdoor people). I'm also using also some other maps, like OpenCycleMaps or the great hikebike maps of Colin Marquardt.
Next time I'm planning to produce own tiles for GPSies.com. The (3 new) servers are running and we must now configure it, but this will take some time.
Now to my question. I just called Colin (hikebikemap.org) and I asked him, if GPSies.com (only the website, no mobile devices) could deliver the tiles by a caching proxy of hikebikemap.org - as the new standard maps of GPSies.com. Colin said, he had no problem with it, but I should ask you, if it would be ok for the load and traffic of the toolserver tileserver.
GPSies has about 30.000 (winter) to 100.000 (sommer) page views with maps a day. Most of the users are from Germany (50%). Most of the tracks are from almost the same regions.
I'd be appreciate, if you would allow my the tiles caching of your server. I also like to donate.
Thanks!
Best regards from Berlin, Germany
