Tiles do not align in custom map (random placement)

Martin shared this question ago

Answered

Dear all,

I don't know if it is the right place to ask, but I am trying to add openflightmaps to my providers.xml. However, in the application, the tiles do not align properly and seem randomly placed.

Can anyone help me correct the providers.xml entry?

	<provider id="20000" type="1" visible="true" background="-1">
		<name>ICAO</name>
		<mode>OpenFlightMap</mode>
		<countries>Germany</countries>
		<url><![CDATA[https://nwy-tiles-api.prod.newaydata.com/tiles/{z}/{x}/{y}.jpg?path=2303/base/latest]]></url>;

Hello Martin,

a quick check on my side: these maps seem to be 512x512px. So suggest modifying "tileSize" parameter in the XML.

Hi Menion,

thank you for your rapid reply. If I set tileSize to 512 I only see the blank Locus grid.

Is there anything else I can do?

Hello,

hmm may you share with me your current XML file, so I do not have to write it manually? Thanks

Thanks for sharing. Interesting... map really uses 512x512px tiles but works with them as with 256x256px tiles. Locus Map currently does not support this behavior, sorry.

As I see there are for download MBTiles map files. They seem to work correctly, so suggest using them for now. Thanks for understanding.

Another alternative. There seems to be data available in the OpenAIR format!

Download such data for your area and put it into Locus/mapItems/Air/filexyz.txt . Then open "MapItems" in the Locus Map and active selected file ;)

It has been some time since I implemented support for the OpenAIR format, but it seems to still work correctly.
