Blank map (white/black) in presets

Neoaliphant shared this question ago

Answered

Now that presets features map loading ( https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/add-map-to-presets)

only thing is that you cant choose the dark map,

ive been using a kml that loads a black map, but as its a map item it cant load on preset.

Does anyone know I can get a black map for use as online or offline map

Thanks

Hello Alistair,

good question. Because these maps live separately, they cannot be simply selected in the existing map picker. I plan for a long time to invest some time into the new Map manager screen. It anyway takes some time. So for now, the selection of these maps is not possible.

Solution may be creating a custom online map that will point to some dummy map tiles.

Perfect, glad to read it. I was already thinking about creating tiny blank online map for you, so I'm glad it is not necessary :)
