MBTiles Folder Map Combining

Douglas Wardell-Johnson shared this idea ago

Gathering feedback

Can the format MBTiles be automatically combined into a single map when a group of them are in a folder?, the same way SQLitedb maps work at the moment.

As an alternative, if the transparent tiles are shown transparent instead of white, two adjacent maps could be shown together. Now, you get something as in the attached image (left and right map fit together), where areas of the left map that are defined as transparent show as opaque white, thus obscuring the second (right) map.

Hello Paulo,

are you 100% sure, that left map has a semitransparent tiles? Because for me it looks that it don't, because Locus do not draw such white-to-brown background.

If you are sure, you have to share some sample map with me, so I can test it.

Hi Menion,

The white part between the two maps is part of the left map, and should be transparent, see the same map, but in the browser: http://maps.vegetationmap4africa.org/uganda_pnv.html. You can view the right map here: http://maps.vegetationmap4africa.org/kenya_pnv.html.

You can download both maps (mbtiles) here: http://vegetationmap4africa.org/2_Vegetation_map/Mobile_maps.html. On that page you find a link for the "PNV map for Uganda" and for "PNV map for Kenya"

Thanks,

Paulo

Good day Paulo,

thank you for a maps for testing. Nice pages btw. Firstly I though about writing something like "this is how Locus works", but then i found a small solution, that should help. Map loads for me correctly now, so you will see in next version.

Hi Menion, I tested it, and it works great for me in the latest version of Locus, thanks!

I got a report from my colleague however that it doesn't work for him. He is using Locus Free, so is this not working in the free version?

Ah, I see the free version is still at 3.8.2, so I assume this will be coming up later

Hello Paulo, sorry, my bad when publishing Locus Map Free on Google Play. I'm sure, all should be fine now.

Hi Menion, yes, this works fine now, thanks.

Fine, good to hear. This is anyway not a task, which Douglas wanted, so idea remains open.
