Re: [Xastir] OSM Maps

Re: [Xastir] OSM maps not loading Ubuntu 14.04
Thanks to everyone for the tips. I had saved my old maps directory from the Ubuntu install. I copied the OSM maps from my build directory and I can get OSM_tiled_cycle.geo and OSM_tiled_mapnik.geo to both work. None of the cloudmade maps seem to work, which is what I was using previously.

Re: [Xastir] OSM maps not loading Ubuntu 14.04
On Fri, Nov 21, 2014 at 06:56:58PM -0500, we recorded a bogon-computron collision of the tomm...@frontiernet.net flavor, containing: I was using the version of Xastir that was available via synaptic but recently it stopped loading the OSM maps. I replaced it with v2.0.7 that I built out of CVS following the directions on the wiki but the problem remains. I get errors like: Magick: Improper image header (/home/tom/.xastir/map_cache/map_1416613517.png). It won't load Geoserver or any of the radar maps either with similar errors. Any ideas on what's gone wrong? As mentioned above, it worked originally and then stopped. Not sure why you're seeing these errors. It is possible the particular server you're using is actually returning error messages in HTML instead of PNG files, which would 'splain the Magick errors --- can you view the file /home/tom/.xastir/map_cache/map_1416613517.png in a non-Magick image viewer? If not, can you do file /home/tom/.xastir/map_cache/map_1416613517.png and see what it says? If it says it's an HTML file, look at the contents --- it probably contains an error message either saying the URL is no good, or some other error. I just checked my Xastir CVS build on my own Ubuntu 14.04 machine and it works just fine with the OSM_tiled_mapnik.geo OSM source. Does that one work for you? Some of the others might reference servers that are gone or disabled. It has been a very long time since I've used terraserver or any of the weather radar. I believe that all the weather radar geos we have in Xastir reference ancient sites at Texas AM that no longer exist, and it's very likely that what you're seeing there is the result of those sites being down. Gerry Creager used to maintain those, and I believe they've been gone for years. I just tried using terraserver.geo and it does appear that it no longer works. It hung for a while clearly trying to connect, then gave up with a map timeout. The URL in the terraserver file must be out of date, or the service no longer works. I tried using the WMSRadar.geo online option and saw exactly your Improper image header message; on checking I found that the map.png file was actually an HTML documentcontaining a 404 URL not found message. Fact is, nobody is really maintaining the collection of online .geo files, and many of them simply stopped working. If we can identify all of the files that reference invalid URLs, we can remove them from the Xastir distribution to reduce frustrations like this, but nobody's done that leg work yet. -- Tom RussoKM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM echo prpv_a'rfg_cnf_har_cvcr | sed -e 's/_/ /g' | tr [a-m][n-z] [n-z][a-m] ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@lists.xastir.org http://xastir.org/mailman/listinfo/xastir

That's a good idea. I think it has been mentioned before, but I don't know how it was phrased, so I don't know the best terms to use for an accurate Google search. I was also wondering if anyone has looked at installing a local map rendering engine (e.g. mapnik) so that OSM maps can be used in an offline mode?

If you've set one of these up, do you have suggestions on which distro, a good howto, etc? I'm liking the looks of these OSM style maps, but if I can't have my maps in an offline mode they're useless to me. Xastir has a built-in vector renderer.

Did you by chance install Xastir from a binary first, say a Debian or Ubuntua binary, then install Xastir from sources? If so, your configuration in ~/.xastir/config/xastir.conf may be pointing to the directories that the binary packagers used, and not the default Xastir-from-sources directories. The default map directory if you compile/install from sources is: /usr/local/share/xastir/maps/ Your configs may be pointing to /usr/share/xastir/maps/ or elsewhere. If you did the make install bit as root or using sudo, you should have a bunch of files starting with OSM in: /usr/local/share/xastir/maps/Online/ Also make sure you've reindexed your maps.

The xastir rendering of shapefiles (I'm using TIGER data now) results in a map that's a bit hard to read for navigational purposes. I plan to use tangoGPS for a few days in the truck just to test that theory and see if i'm wasting time. In terms of functionality, reliability, resource utilization, etc, xastir+shapefiles set a very high standard.

Config files in your ~/.xastir/config/ directory must match the
installed Xastir location else you'll have difficulties. Same for
if you have more than one Xastir installed: You may end up starting
the wrong one by default and it may or may not match your current
config files.
So... If you've used a pre-packaged binary to this point (which
usually install to /usr/), then switch to compiling your own
(which installs to /usr/local/ by default), you may have to
hand-edit your ~/.xastir/config/xastir.cnf file to change the paths.
Or you can blow away that file (or rename it) and have Xastir create
a fresh one for you that matches your executable, then tweak all of
your settings again. If you rename it at least you can look in the
old file to see what your settings were.
Another option is to add some options to the ./configure line to
change the install location to match what you used before instead of
using the defaults.
Yet another issue: Very old Xastir used to install system files to
/usr/local/xastir. We moved the location a number of years ago to
${prefix}/share/xastir. For instance: /usr/local/share/xastir
or /usr/share/xastir. This affects the location of your maps, as
well as the per-user config files. We have some scripts in
xastir/scripts to help with this migration: xastir-fixcfg.sh and
xastir-migrate.sh. The first is run once per user (as each user),
the second is run exactly once as root.

Re: [Xastir] OSM maps and README.maps
Hi David, Thanks for your offer. The files specify the source and options for various on-line map images generated from the OpenStreetMap data. The best starting point to identify each of the 'styles' is this URL: http://ojw.dev.openstreetmap.org/StaticMap/?lat=37.3136451416lon=-121.874084472z=11mode=Style; The .osm files force Xastir to use binned scaling levels that match the 18 fixed levels from the OSM. This eliminates scaling of the bit mapped images, leading to clean images without aliasing artifacts (jagged lines, blurring, dropped pixels, etc.) Other than their effect on scaling the .osm files are identical to the .geo files of the same name. I am looking at some alternatives for selecting zoom levels, that if acceptable, will eliminate the .osm files. The .geo/.osm files also include comments that you might want to review. Also note that .osm extension has a different, incompatible, meaning for the OSM project. 73, ...jerry KA6HLD On Wed, Jun 16, 2010 at 2:54 PM, David Flood davi...@mindspring.com wrote: If someone can provide a one or two line description of what each of the new map chooser files does then I'm willing to massage that info into the readme and feed it back to Curt...
