Hello Everyone,

I am trying to access OpenStreetMaps as my Map Provider through the GMaps interface, however I am getting a "Exception: The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden" I believe this is because I do not have the User-Agent or Referrer set.

Can anyone please show me an example of how I would set the User-Agent using the GMap interface.

Using WPF c#

Thank you!

I'm not familiar with GMap but according to the Internet you can use something like:

GMap.NET.MapProviders.OpenStreetMapProvider.UserAgent = "cferreira GMap tool 1.0";

or

GMap.NET.MapProviders.GMapProvider.UserAgent = "cferreira GMap tool 1.0";

Unsure which one works, please come back and tell us.
