Re: [Xastir] FCC database download

When I hit the URL in my browser, I see "This is a proxy issue! Notify Thomas”. So I think something is borked at the FCC end. Try again Monday? Hal N3YX ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@lists.xastir.org http://xastir.org/mailman/listinfo/xastir

Re: [Xastir] Archaic default map

I neglected to mention: I did go prowling through the OSM extracts. There are indeed OSM country boundary shapefiles, but they’re at full resolution. Downsampling them while preserving topology is a non-trivial task (which is what inspired the Natural Earth project in the first place). Hal >

Re: [Xastir] Archaic default map

Roughly what file size are we targeting? The Stamen stuff is based on Open Street Map. I think the country level data will be fairly easy to extract from OSM, or (more likely) already exists. If I see a way through I’ll hop over to github and self assign. Hal N3YX > On Jul 28, 2019, at

Perhaps a joined together version of tiles at http://maps.stamen.com/toner/#5/38.221/17.402? What pixel size is preferred? How much space can it consume? Hal N3YX > On Jul 28, 2019, at 8:16 PM, Tom Russo wrote: > > The only option is a simple one, otherwise it will be too large to

[Xastir] POSM (Portable OpenStreetMap) for APRS

Here’s an idea for providing OpenStreetMap map tiles in the field for APRS. It’s not the cheapest, but it’s a well supported active project. This is a follow up to the Pi 3 thread, which I didn't want to hijack. I attended State of the Map US last weekend. That’s the US conference for

Re: [Xastir] ADS-B (planes)

I've used https://github.com/bcl/aisparser (C) in several projects. It does a nice job of parsing the sentences, but you'll need your own code to handle the incoming serial or network stream and to do something useful with the parsed sentences. It doesn't handle all of the latest locally

Re: [Xastir] Script to cache some maps

The scaling and numbering work pretty much the same across all systems. Some have the Y axis south positive, and some have it north positive. Scaling is the same, and they all use the Google spherical Mercator projection. Hal N3YX > On Nov 19, 2015, at 2:04 PM, Skyler Fennell

Re: [Xastir] Script to cache some maps

In the FOSS4G (free/opensource software for geospatial) world, there are two leading map renderers, MapServer and Mapnik. Both of those can be configure to render and serve tiles conforming to the spherical Mercator tiling scheme used by Google, Apple, Mapquest, OSM, and others. Both packages

Re: [Xastir] Using Mapbox maps on Xastir

Mapbox provides tiled raster layers in a Web Mercator projection, using the same tile X/Y/zoom reference system that Google Maps, Bing Maps, Apple Maps, Yahoo Maps, and standard TMS/WMS systems use. AFAICT there is no clean way to point Xastir at a standard tile server like Mapbox provides.

Yep, that would be perfect. My bad, I thought Xastir lacked that capability. The tile/URL scheme is mentioned in my other message. Hal On May 12, 2015, at 1:06 PM, Kevin Ratcliff ke...@kevinratcliff.com wrote: Maybe you could add it like an OSM tile map? I don't have time to look into
