OSMDroid - No map tiles on Accuracy view #316

Open barbeau opened 5 years ago

barbeau commented 5 years ago

Summary:

If you open the OSMDroid build of GPSTest and go to the "Accuracy" view, the map tiles are blank.

I'm currently using Mapbox's satellite tiles for this, and apparently I've hit the free tier quota and they are no longer serving tiles. I've asked Mapbox about providing free credits but haven't heard back.

Another option might be OpenMapTiles: https://openmaptiles.com/

...hosted via: https://cloud.maptiler.com/

Steps to reproduce:

In OSMDroid release, go to Accuracy view

Expected behavior:

See satellite map tiles

Observed behavior:

Map tiles are blank

Device and Android version:

N/A

Re-opening this - apparently the F-Droid version is popular, we've now exhausted our free tier of the MapTiler account:

Your MapTiler Cloud account has used 100% of the FREE plan monthly request limit (100 000) in this billing period.

I may just revert the Accuracy view to the free OSM map tiles.

Issue still open. I'm on gpstest 3.5.3 from F-Droid.

Are there any advantages of MapTiler over OSM based services?

barbeau commented 3 years ago

@cewbdex Sorry for the delayed response, somehow I missed your comment. IIRC MapTiler is an OSM-based service - it serves tiles based on OSM data. Is there an alternate service you'd suggest?

Ideally it would be free for open-source projects, as this app is free.
