Keep Me On The Map

Michael WA7SKG All Messages By This Member #941 I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I can't find it. Is there a way to keep my station centered on the map when I am driving? I've only been out a couple times since I got APRS hooked up in my truck. I thought the map would scroll to keep me centered on the display as I moved, but apparently it does not. I have to periodically reach over and tap the little "me" icon to put me back in the middle. If I am zoomed in very far, I drive off the screen and have no idea where I am. Is there a setting I need to change? -- 73, Michael WA7SKG "Any day you do not learn one new thing is a wasted day."

Now, to keep that centered on the map, pick the menu option View->Auto-Center Map, and every time your station moves more than a third of the map away from the center, it will be recentered around you. The reason for the large amount of travel before recentering is due to how slow the map rendering is on a Raspberry Pi, so as to not have your screen background blank most of the time because it barely finished re-rendering before it has to re-render again for another map pan.

Andrew P. All Messages By This Member #946 Is your beacon configured to use GPS for Position? If not, then your position is _only_ the fixed position in the beacon record. ________________________________________ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of toy4trax@... <toy4trax@...> Sent: Tuesday, March 2, 2021 9:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [yaac-users] Keep Me On The Map I'm in the same boat.

[email protected] All Messages By This Member #948 Yes, under beacon, the use GPS for position box is ticked. If i click on the home button, it takes me there immediately, but does not automatically track me. -- Pi4 4GB
[email protected] All Messages By This Member #1011 Finally got some video: You can see that the settings are to keep me centered, the GPS is active, version is up to date. If i click the home button, it re-centers. Just doesn't do it automatically. -- Pi4 4GB
Andrew P. All Messages By This Member #1012 Ah, can you grant me access to see your video of your problem?

Andrew P. All Messages By This Member #1015 Alas, your videos don't report what was going on "behind the scenes" in the back-end code. Could you repeat this problem, then collect your YAAC.out file (stored in your configured log directory) and export your configuration to XML, and send me those files privately (not on the mailing list, bu to my personal email address)? Note the reason I ask for your to replicate the issue is because YAAC.out is a rolling log file, so if too many logged events occur, the information I am asking for will have been flushed out of the log.
