Online maps: date param #8064

Open edrex opened 4 years ago

edrex commented 4 years ago

Several potential tile sources have a required date param:

Questions:

Do time series data sources use the same date format?

It would be pretty cool for natural sci nerds like me to be able to add NASA data sources.

Unfortunately not possible today but the workaround is to generate URL and click it, so now adding tile source is possible via link check it here https://github.com/osmandapp/Osmand/issues/7658

very cool, i will test it out.

also thought of filling in dynamic params like date (with say tomorrow's date) via a specialized http proxy, maybe packaged as a companion "osmand-dynamic-sources" app, which could also generate links to add source. I don't know enough about android networking internals to know for sure there isn't some gotcha. Can android start an app when it gets a tcp port knock?

i searched around a bit and it seems like the answer is no. It would be lame to keep a foreground task running for the proxy. Maybe it could be packaged as an osmand plugin instead?

there is no possibility to inject the code with script and we will need to create UI for this feature.
