About Offline Maps

claudius62 · Mar 10, 2018

I am wondering about the storage of Offline Maps.
I have a dozen Offline Maps in the ST16s, but I can not find any location where these famous maps are stored and in what format?
QgroundControl also allows to create offline Maps and also to save them on the computer in the format "xxxxx.qgctiledb". Which is more fun to do than on the tablet.
It would be easy to be able to transfer these cards on the ST16s that empty the battery of the station when one creates them.
Does anyone have a solution?

In the new update, 1.3, you can transfer via wifi, missions, maps and flight plans. The only condition is that they are both, computer and ST16S, connected in the same wifi network.

You can store the maps offline on your computer and then move them to the ST16S when you need them.

Thank you Arruntus, for the maps and missions.
But for the logs, it answers me "not connected" in "Log Download" and in "syncronization of the transmitter", the key "to look for the logs" is greyed out. ???

Yes, I have discussed it in the update thread. That part doesn't work for me either. But you can move them.

I played this afternoon with the new DataPilotPlanner 1.3.0.It is great in every way, apart from the courses in a straight line, but that we already knew what to expect, they forgot to put the wheel for the turns, there is the excellent system of caching cards. What a happiness this system but how slow!About 3 hours to cache 6 cards, to believe that they bring back the tiles of the cards to the wheelbarrow and yet I have a flow of 100 megabytes. Instead, we would have had time to load 50 Google maps.In addition to pick up the place manually while it is so easy to search by coordinates. That's to wonder where he dig up their software! and if it was done on Windows 1 .......

What do you call it cards? grids?

I don't know, I tried it and it worked fast and well.

I am talking about offline maps, Arruntus.
Today it looks faster, Yesterday, there was work on the internet lines in the street. it may be that.

That may be, connection problems. The downloading of maps is not dependent on the program on the computer. What I've tried has worked well for me, and then transfer the maps to the ST16S as well, the only thing that you have to wait a while for the ST16S to recognize them, but doing it does it well.

@arruntus hello,
I think there is a serious problem with Google Sat cards, they are long, very long to arrive.
The Bing Sat and Esri Sat cards arrive right away, they are instant and you have the closeup right away.
I think the problem is Google and its Apis. He must not like sharing.
I redid all the cards in Esri and in a ridiculous amount of time.

Must be a problem with your ISP. I've just tried it again in an area I've never seen before and I'm getting it down very quickly. They could set up a village finder. When in satellite mode it becomes difficult to find the area you want to watch.

Is this a BUG in Datapilot or several?
Sending offline maps from the transmitter to the computer = OK
Sending offline maps from the computer to the transmitter = Nothing happens, no transfer.
Sending two missions from the computer to the transmitter, the first Ok 10.4 Kb, the second = 0 Kb the name is there but nothing in it.
They test their software or what! I have to redo all the offline maps in the transmitter and transfer the missions via the USB cable.

What I proved was that it took a long time for the maps and missions to appear in the ST16S. With a little patience they end up showing up. I tried all the movement options in one direction and the other and I think it worked out fine, except for the delay.

After two hours of hard work, I got there, Arruntus.
But the ergononie and the information are laborious, and we must guess the message "relaunch Datapilot" under the big yellow window that we can not even move.
In short, I finished repatriating missions and cards from other computers on the laptop because I had to go through the ST146s to make transfers.
It's a pity that we can not get the offline cards by USB Key or Cable.
