Tower’s simplicity makes it an ideal partner for bait boat usage. But it’s outdated. I have some help renewing it, and a fair set of ambitions on needed (bait-)boat focused adjustments. Hoping to reach a milestone by the end of this week, then I can help you out. Testing needed, you know…
I had no time to test the beta of Mission Planner yet. Stupid question, perhaps: How (from where) did you install the beta?
And a big thank you @Michael_Oborne 
Hi Olav. To intall beta you need to select Help colomn and select Chek for Beta Updates:slightly_smiling_face:
@Michael_Oborne: Finally understood how to install the beta.
Really easy to set up the mapbox maps this way. Thanks. One thing though: I have several styles. So I tried to switch from one style to another (pasting a new shareURL). What I see is that the tiles already downloaded from the first style is not changed. Second style appears only when I zoom to a range that I did not use with the initial style.
Is there a way to re-download the map in order to alter the appearance (from one style to the next)?
currently no, check my post about 4/5 up
Hello,
If i use custom map like this link : http://vps.oborne.me/gcs/CustomImages.htm
the map will contain elevation data ? Because i need my elevation data in MP to fly more precisely.
Have a good day 
I’m on it thanks But no message in my console, and no geotif data on flight plan screen
Hello Michael,
I am trying to use tiles with Inject GE maps. I can do it with Global Mapper, but the tryal version has expired and I can not use it any more.
Now I am using QGIS, and It has the posibillity of exporting in Tiles as adirectory, I have exported a set but when I go to Inject GE is like it doesnt recognice the map set.
QGis exports as XYZ Tiles format ,
https://docs.qgis.org/3.10/es/docs/user_manual/processing_algs/qgis/rastertools.html?highlight=xyz#generate-xyz-tiles-directory
Do you think this kind of tiles are supported by MP?
There is also another question, I found very useful when using MBtiles with a transparent layer over a base map, I can see both. Have you think on it? To have the posibility of seen 2 different maps, one over the other.
Thanks a lot for your incredible work.
Hey. I followed the steps outlined earlier in this thread - but used Pix4D to create tiles. When I go to import the map nothing shows up. Any help on this matter would be appreciated.
can you upload a sample tileset somewhere?
I was setting up a u-Blox ZED-F9P with u-Center a couple days ago and came across a feature that I thought would be helpful to some using ArduRover that want a simple custom map if the feature could be added to Mission Planner.
In u-Center in the “Map View” you can select any image and then georeference it with just 3 known coordinates. After that, real time position information is displayed on the new map. This would be super useful to me since the satellite imagery for my area is old, I have access to pictures shot from a drone, and with a RTK F9P getting accurate coordinates in my yard is easy.
Michael, please let us know what you think. See Section 5.2.10.2.2 of the u-Center Manual.
MP support geotiff’s and world files
https://gdal.org/drivers/raster/wld.html
normally these images are already georeferenced
also 3 know points asume the image has been orthorectified. ie everything is 100% top down, so using a single photo for example would not work correctly
MP support all these are inputs

I tried to create a GeoTIFF with QGIS here but when I put it in the C:\ProgramData\Mission Planner\srtm folder “nothing happens”. I was expecting to have my image displayed in the area that I am working in but it is still Google Satellite Map and blank if I select Custom. I guessed at settings in the QGIS Georeferencer so that might be the problem as well.
I am aware of the limitations of using a simple approach with only a couple coordinates and one image but I didn’t think the errors would be significant since I am only interested in the 100’ x 150’ area of my yard.
The srtm folder is for dem’s. If it’s aerials need to use the gdal button instead
First of all, thank you for putting up with us. I did cntr-f, pressed the Custom GDAL button, pointed it to the directory where my GeoTIFF was located, and selected the “GDAL Custom” map type but I am still getting Google Satellite imagery. The debug window shows that the TIFF is being loaded so either my image is incorrectly formatted or I am missing something else. Seriously, thank you again for all that you do.
can you show me what else the debug window was displaying? the geotiff needs to be in wgs84/EPSG:4326

INFO MissionPlanner.Controls.Loading - Loading.Close()ok, so asume the coords you see are correct, it looks valid to me at first glance.
and you have changed the map source to GDAL custom.
it should just work.
can you share one of the images?
i think the lat and long have been swapped in the geotiff
