Hi All, Wondering if anyones had luck loading maps with Android. I've tried putting the XCM file in the XCSoarData directory (contains registry.prf, startup.log etc) but xcsoar is not showing any maps in config. Wasnt sure to submit a ticket, as i might just be putting the XCM file in the wrong pl

Hi Turbo, I really appreciate the map improvement! Every work on our web page is a real multiplier for xcsoar. Thanks, Helmut BTW.: Could you -- place that big fat button for all download items, not only for the maps? -- remove the broken links to the old map file generator? Am Sonntag, den

Thanks for dealing with this team, Thanks for creating the the attribution entries Tobias. I have done a quick assessment of the data, and we are, as you have indicated done the right things. These are clearly based on OSM data, which can be taken for derived works, but must then keep that lic

Good morning team, However I can't promise that it works, as Scott Penrose is the only one with access to that server. If we are talking about the old server, then there was quite a long list (including you Tobias) who had access. But I am going to shut that down anyway, it has been a pain,

Hi Paolo "You are violating copyright of a database, consisting of map names, coding, coordinates." As Max stated already on your bware.it forum, it is not possible to copyright geographical coordinates. Do you want us to rename the maps!? I think "UK" for example is an abbreviation for the "U

Hi Robert Thanks for all the suggestions. 1) The old terrain gen was reported to be broken so we searched for an intermediate alternative 2) We've found that in the LKM file archive that Paolo maintains and modified the files to work with XCSoar v6.0 3) I've developed a replacement for the old

Hi Martin our map files should include both, topology and terrain. About the config boxes: There is still the possibility to "overwrite" loading the terrain/topology of the map file if you want to use only part of the map file. Which map exactly were you trying and have you tried a different one
