Question re: maps in D-Rats 0.3.9
|
Hi, folks,
I'm having trouble getting maps to display in my new (and first) D-Rats installation. I'm running D-Rats 0.3.9, which by default creates the D-Rats map subfolder as c:/users/user1/AppData/Roaming/D-RATS-EV/maps. I extracted a zip-compressed map tiles file to that folder, which created a series of subfolders numbered zero through 17, and further subfolders until you drill down to the individual .PNG files. In the D-Rats settings, the config file shows that the base map storage path is c:/users/user1/AppData/Roaming/D-RATS-EV/maps. But in the maps configuration setting, the setting for the base map is a tile server (the default tile server is https://tile.openstreetmap.de). It seems to me that after extracting the zip file containing the map tiles to the maps subfolder under D-RATS-EV, D-Rats still doesn't know where to find or use them, and I don't know how to change the configuration settings so that my D-Rats installation knows where to find them. I must be missing something and don't know what it is. Appreciate any guidance you can offer. ?Regards, Charles |
开云体育Base map in my Ubuntu based version is http://a.tile.openstreetmap.de/I think there was a past issue with using https which caused an error. WX4QZ found this and it worked for me! If u start the debug log under help it will show errors during startup and operation! Should point to maps that don’t load for some reason clue to fix!! I am not an expert but place to start!!!

Ralph, thanks very much for the advice. I changed the tile server to ?but still no joy in the map display. The openstreetmap.de tile server is online and reachable, my web browser is able to pull up the map from that server, and my D-Rats program is reaching the internet, with multiple stations replying to a "ping all stations" command. ?Nevertheless, for each of the numerous map images in the map tiles that D-Rats attempts to retrieve, the debug log reports errors of the following type:
Mapdisplay: (0) Failed to fetch 'http:/a.tile.openstreetmap.de/14/4765/6156.png' : Not connected? I'd be happy to upload or send the debug log report if it's useful for someone to analyze and troubleshoot. It's beyond my current abilities.? 73, Charles (KC3TDQ) |
