Hey Curt,

Playing around with the new maps say aerial.geo, it works from a zoom level of 1 to 64 but with a larger zoom level like 128, the screen is black except for the various APRS objects when zoomed a bit. Other maps show all grey. Does the black vs. grey have a significance?

National.geo - the screen is light grey except for the various APRS objects Sub_National.geo - the screen is light grey except for the various APRS objects Sub_Regional.geo - the screen is light grey except for the various APRS objects
   Aerial.geo:         - works for zooms 1 to 64 then the screen is black
ShadedRelief.geo - works for zooms 1 to 8 then the screen is light grey Topo1-10.geo - works for zooms 1 to 8 and then the screen is light grey TopoRelief1-78.geo - the screen is light grey except for the various APRS objects

Other maps like Regional, Coutours, Hydrography, and transportation work fine. Maybe the black vs. grey behavior is known in Xastir but since I'm still new to it, I'm not aware of it. Maybe there is a way to display in the UI something like "map not available at this zoom - try 1 to 64". That would be a lot more user friendly.

I'm also seeing with this new Xastir version when loading these new maps, it's not saying "loading tiles.." in the lower left. It says "Map not found in cache...". Is there a way to make this a little more intuitive? Maybe change this to "Loading map from network..." would be more intuitive?


Thanks again for adding these new maps!

Well with that where is the weather radar maps now?

I don't see any way in the newest build to display the weather radar.
