MVUM redux

[11elevenths]

Petr...a while back you were able to get both PAD-US working as an online map and FS-Topo.

I am trying to get the MVUM layers to show on an offline map and have managed using the jpeg to map calibration to KML....works ok.

I also was able to finally find a server that allowed export of a kml or geojson but they come in as  individual tracks and you can't adjust transparency.

I am also experimenting with the qgis method to make mbtiles but it is arduous.


Can we get this  https://apps.fs.usda.gov/arcx/rest/services/EDW/EDW_MVUM_01/MapServer/2 to show as an online map that way I can download the entire area for offline and finally have parity in this visual data with Gaia???

Like you did with FS-Topo, you figure out the XML code and I add it to my existing providers.XML file in the custom folder.

I quickly checked the map services you sent me and it seems that data are distributed only in vector format
"Supported Query Formats: JSON, geoJSON, PBF"

These formats are not supported by Locus. So the best solution IMHO is the QGIS and export to .mbtiles format

Thanks for looking in to it.

I found a WMS source for the MVUM!!!

if you can make this an online map then it can be saved for offline!!!

hoping...

I'm sorry but it's not possible to use WMS map as a source for Locus Online Maps

darn...I was hoping you could do it.  kind of like you did with PADUS...take a url and convert it in to syntax like this:

 </provider>   
   <provider id="11000" type="0" visible="true" background="-1">
      <name>USGS PADUS</name>
      <mode>USGS Fee managers</mode>
      <url><![CDATA[https://gis1.usgs.gov/arcgis/rest/services/padus3/Fee_Managers/MapServer/tile/{z}/{y}/{x}?format=png32]]></url>
      <zoomPart>{z}-8</zoomPart>
      <zoomMin>8</zoomMin>
      <zoomMax>25</zoomMax>
      <tileSize>256</tileSize>
      <extraHeader>Referer#http://locus.asamm.cz/</extraHeader>
   </provider>







</provider>
<!-- FS-Topo maps -->
    <provider id="10805" type="0" visible="true" background="-1">
        <name>FS-Topo</name>
        <mode>Map</mode>
        <url><![CDATA[https://apps.fs.usda.gov/arcx/rest/services/EDW/EDW_FSTopo_01/MapServer/WMTS/tile/1.0.0/EDW_EDW_FSTopo_01/default/

thanks anyway

I understand your point, but WMS is technically different from tiled online maps and cannot be used as a "source" for an online map.

ok thanks

Thank you for the excellent video. I realized one more option - you can view the WMS in QGIS and export the "current" view as .mbtiles (using QMetaTiles) Anyway, your 2nd or 3rd way is definitely better.

I'm surprised to see, how huge the difference is between LoMaps (or OAM) and USGS maps (and other USA maps), uff.

You can look at this area "Norwood, CO" in Gaia and it is impressive how much data they have.  I was told they pay to access the USGS servers for that.  I'd pay in the Locus Store for access to MVUM and PADUS as an online layer we can download.

Once a year you might want to look at, osmand, gaia, DMD2.  Recently I was told DMD2 has a feature that shows on screen time/distance to multiple waypoints within the overall track all while navigating all on a highly legible screen...something that this long time locus user told me locus does not have and is superior to all other apps...I have not loaded it to try it.  His claim was DMD2 is the absolute best for following tracks...not making them.  I had the chance to play with it a bit at a recent navigation seminar at a bike shop and one thing I noticed is that it appears to have the PADUS/BLM colors nicely on an imported OAM map...how?  Will have to figure that one out.

Maybe one of your 3rd party map devs could add some of this???
