Satellite Map #167

Closed davequ closed 2 years ago

davequ commented 4 years ago

Is there any way to provide a satellite map? This is exactly the program we would like to use for our charity (www.elcv/org/uk) where we are plotting invasive plants. These are normally in featureless countryside, so a satellite view would be a great help.

Should the Apple Maps's satellite mode suffice, it is implementable.

Though, I would be busy for the coming week... Hence I might not be able to respond quickly.

That would be great! Even better if it would cache the area whilst in wifi to avoid using data when out. There is no urgency - its not a necessity, but would be a help.

Hi @davequ,

I've added satellite map in https://github.com/merlos/iOS-Open-GPX-Tracker/commit/b9c87486b7f2a4b918692d565e28d0b025ef53e7. Though, from a UI perspective, I am not quite pleased with it, as the black text is hardly visible under the satellite map, while white doesn't seem to make it better either. I would probably come back to this eventually though.

Wow I am impressed with your speed. That's what happens when one deals with a one man band instead of a large organisation! Can I download from github or do I need to wait until you upload to app store?

Hi @davequ,

Actually this project is maintained by two person, @merlos and I. To try out right now, you can compile the modified version yourself and side load it on your device, using Xcode by compiling the code.
