Better use openstreetmap, I think. ? ?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. ? ?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.
