SkyVector.com map

I'm trying to implement SkyVector.com maps in Locus.

The standard URL for the tiles is:

http://t1.skyvector.net/tiles/304/1406/2/466/233.jpg

Zoom level goes between 1 and 17, tiles size is 256x256. In the URL above, 304 is the map type and 1406 the cycle of the database (let's assume them as fixed values for now).

I created a simple provider.xml file as follow:

  1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    <providers>

    <provider id="1002" type="0" visible="true" required="true" background="-1">

    <name>Skyvector</name>

    <mode>IFR High</mode>

    <url><![CDATA[http://t{s}.skyvector.net/tiles/304/1406/{z}/{x}/{y}.jpg]]></url>;

    <serverPart>0;1</serverPart>

    <zoomPart>{z}-8</zoomPart>

    <zoomMin>9</zoomMin>

    <zoomMax>23</zoomMax>

    <tileSize>256</tileSize>

    <countries>World</countries>

    <usage>aero</usage>

    </provider>

    </providers>

but it doesn't work: zoom levels are wrong, tiles are in the wrong position etc.

Any suggestion to make it work?

Actually I think the board truncated the last part of my message.

Full code here: http://pastebin.com/QMiB3uCj

The question is simple, what's wrong with my code? It should be a pretty simple request to the server, but I cannot analyze them with wireshark or similar to get rid of the problem.

Hello Nenigi

I fear that kind of integration is only allowed under a licensing Agreement.

Isnt' it?

Try to change URL a bit:

http://t{s}.skyvector.net/tiles/304/1406/{z}/{x}/{y}.jpg

Hi,

can I only ask you for which area you're interested in? Exactly the same maps that SkyVector offer for USA are already available in Locus.

Hi Petr,

I am looking for both IFR & VFR charts for Europe

I see. Locus offers IFR chart from ChartBundle but their maps cover only US states.

I have to say that we've already contacted SkyVector maps (in summer 2014) and asked them if is there any possibility for cooperation with Locus app. Unfortunately we haven't received any response. However I've re-sent email again today and tried to remind...

Thank you Petr, please keep the community posted about it, it would be really interesting to have those charts in Locus!

Had anyone got some luck with getting Locus to work with EU charts with SkyVector or other service?
