Hi All,
I’d like to add aircraft sectional charts to mission planner. Ideally I would like to be able to pull them from the dropdown menu (much like google satellite etc.).
I’ve found a few places where maps are being pulled within mission planner, but can anyone help me out with a workflow to accomplish this so that I don’t miss anything?
Thanks
do you have the files? ie as a jpg or tiff etc?
I was trying to pull from skyvector…or something else. But it doesn’t seem like they have an API. I bet foreflight is locked down to opensource as well. If I had images then I could just simply import custom imagery right?
yes, if you can get the geo-referenced images, getting it in isn’t an issue.
I was just thinking about sectionals on Mp. Has anyone actually done this?
It wouldn’t be hard to do with georeferenced images. But it’s not a very effective map solution for actually operating in, so I didn’t pursue it anymore.
I have been looking at trying to get marine charts into mission planner, but I couldn’t find anything. Google Earth isn’t great when dealing with water.
Keeping them up to date will be the primary problem. I wouldn’t even fathom burdening the dev team with that sort of liability.
It isn’t hard to use geo-referenced images in MP, but I recommend that as an end-user responsibility rather than baked-in feature. The backbone is already there.
That said, I do not know where to source geo-referenced digital aviation charts suitable for use.
