Better use openstreetmap, I think. ?https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/List_of_OSM-based_services ?But avoiding mercator projection might make some sense too. ?(Should we try to have great-circle lines as straight as possible?) ?And I think the simple non-zooming world map is ok for now, if the alternative is too much work; but I agree it would be nice to have more markup: US states, country boundaries, time zones etc. ?(somehow without getting too cluttered)
My goal is to eventually separate the front-end from the backend: there should be a radio-control daemon that can stay running in the background, with a particular interface that I have in mind which will make many kinds of front-ends possible. ?Then I want to write a Qt-based UI. ?Then using qtlocation will be possible on the raspberry pi display. ?https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtlocation-index.html ?But it might take a while to get the radio backend separated from the GUI and working correctly (I’ve hardly looked at the code so far, let alone actually start trying to refactor). ?I could probably write a separate logbook-mapping app in a short time though. ?(It’s been done many times though, right?) ?In the meantime there is that chrome-based app already installed.
