Change map tile source #33

Closed ianmcorvidae closed 8 years ago

ianmcorvidae commented 8 years ago

MapQuest has shut down the tile service which TTT is using: http://devblog.mapquest.com/2016/06/15/modernization-of-mapquest-results-in-changes-to-open-tile-access/

I'm not sure what the best alternative is, but new tiles will not download at this point, so some sort of change needs to be made. :(

I'm working on it. I'm trying to integrate mapzen On 14 Jul 2016 09:50, "Ian McEwen" notifications@github.com wrote:

I finally finished converting to mapzen. It was quite a large change, so I had to remove some functionality, which I'll add back later (Specifically lines between points and selecting points to see what time there were created).

On the positive side, the maps look a lot better now, and mapzen has a lot of neat stuff such as directions and address finding I might be able integrate.

It should be in version 1.1.0.1 in f-droid (which should be available in a couple of days). It was quite a complex change and getting f-droid to build it was tricky, so we'll see if it works or not.

It also should be available on google play in a few hours as well.

I couldn't let this pass without dropping by just to say: Thank you! :) Thank you for your hard work in maintaining this application. Behind every cool open source software, there is a dedicated, generous and talented individual like you.

Sorry, I messed up the fdroid build. I just fixed it.

I'm in China now, with crappy internet, so it's hard to get updates on these things.

redfish64 commented 8 years ago

Finally made into fdroid as 1.1.5

Hi! I just downloaded 1.1.7, and it's great! Thanks a lot for the work. I actually renders nicer than the previous version.

In addition, it also disabled lines and big points (which was a feature request of mine :-D) So i'm very happy. If you add back the lines, please also add an option to keep them disabled ;)

Thanks once more for the work!

Glad that it works. I think that vector graphics is the future, which is why I went with it rather than trying to find an alternative source and continue with the tile based system. Also, using an actively maintained library for mapping is nice, because I can leverage their code.

Hopefully, I'll be able to add things like offline map download, navigation and address finding, as well as different map skins. Take this with a grain of salt, however, since after I finished the conversion, I took a long break and haven't done much research into them, so I'm not sure whether these things will be easy to add.

Thanks indeed for the work! Loving the update. I'll close this ticket now since it's looking fixed.
