I have plenty of time. My whole APRS station has to be set up by early July. I am starting early though because I know I suck at getting things to work on linux, and am particularly worried about getting hardware to work. On Mon, May 11, 2015 at 3:08 PM, Curt Mills wrote: > They have both. Howe

Also check out the "Services generating custom shapefile downloads". A couple of those look interesting. You want ESRI Shapefile maps in this case. On Mon, May 11, 2015 at 1:53 PM, Curt Mills wrote: > FYI: I wouldn't use cached maps for an event. Too much can go wrong. > > Use Shapefile extrac

FYI: I wouldn't use cached maps for an event. Too much can go wrong. Use Shapefile extracts if you want to use OSM maps. Find links to extracts here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Shapefiles For instance, I can get a Shapefile extract for WA state here: http://download.geofabrik.de/nor

This smells to me (without looking at the code) like a tile cache size limit problem. I don't know what xastir used to decide how much map data to cache, but that's the setting I would hunt for. Another idea would be to generate data in advance. I just poked around in mailing list from late 20
