Hello all.
Thank you for creating YAAC, it seems to be one of the only APRS programs that will work with Yaesu's weird data output.

Thanks!

I have a question about map tiles.

I am running YAAC on a RasPi in my truck, it generally has NO connection to the internet.

It is already loaded with about 60GB of map tiles from OSM, OpenTopo, BingAerial, etc.

These tiles were cached via a GPS program called "Viking" ()

The tile directories are arranged in the "/{z}/{x}/{y}.png" format.

?

Is there any way I can get YAAC to use these existing tiles?

At the present time, no, these pre-rendered tiles are not understood by YAAC. YAAC uses its own means of dynamically rendering a map that is incompatible with the public tile servers.

Sorry.

Andrew, KA2DDO

Thanks for the reply, I understand.
I think was just worried about having to download (or render) another 10's of GB of maps, but I kinda see what your doing now.
Plus, I run my own tile server and I have been trying to learn how to render some "Dark Mode" tiles with it.
It'd be nice to use those tiles at night in the truck, the "Truck-Pi" can get a bit blinding.

If it's not too much work, put me in for a feature request for using pre-rendered tiles.
(or a request for a native YAAC "dark mode".)

When I get some time, I am going to have to look deeper at how you are generating your maps.

It could be useful for the that I have.

Thanks again for an awesome program!

YAAC has a "dark mode" available in its configuration options, though it still needs a few tweaks. I also haven't gotten it to where the dark mode can be automatically switched on and off by the clock.

YAAC renders its maps from scratch directly from the raw OSM vector data (after some optimization in how that data is stored), so it can render at any zoom level (not just the quantized levels used by map tile servers), and certain map features can be enabled or disabled as desired (one user had to turn off business type icons because someone had gone to the immense effort of identifying every single business and their types of business in every business district and strip mall in his town, so at inner zoom levels, his map was very cluttered until he turned off business types he didn't care about).

I will have to check the options again, thank you!

Now I am even more intrigued about how you are rendering the OSM data, that is awesome, and would be useful in my project as well. I could get rid of my beast of tile server for our local AREDN network! +1
That sounds like it must've been the citys chamber of commerce trying to get all the local businesses onto google or something, that's crazy!

Thank you again Andrew!

Hope to hear you on the air sometime.
