ArcGIS Editor for OpenStreetMap and Walking/Field Papers

[GraemeBrowning]

At the ArcGIS Editor for OpenStreetMap project page 2.1 Beta for Desktop has been announced to work with ArcGIS for Desktop 10.1.

I've downloaded this and so far so good.

However, I went to try and grab a Walking Paper and discovered that http://www.walking-papers.org/ appears to have been turned off.  

At the OpenStreetMap Wiki I found that Walking Papers has been superseded by Field Papers.

My question is whether Field Papers can be used with ArcGIS for Desktop 10.1 and ArcGIS Editor for OpenStreetMap 2.1 Beta already or whether 10.1 users need to forget about using Walking/Field Papers temporarily?

Today I tried again to reach the Walking Papers site and on about 50% of attempts the site timed out but on the other 50% I got through - so it looks like it is still available but not always reachable.

However, even when I reach the site and locate my area of interest it does not seem to able to maintain a connection long enough to produce a print.  At the same time producing a print from Field Papers works fine so I think it is the server rather than my network causing the problem.

Graeme,

I'll check with Mike about the future of the Walking Papers website and we will adjust the scripts as necessary.
Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Walking Papers seems to be hanging at Tiling.  Field Papers allows you to download a GEOTIFF, so you can still use it, but just not with the automated tool.
