https://www.4umaps.com/ is online for several weeks... but actually do not provide any map, nor nothing really interesting. You can browse it to see what it is currently. I don't know what is the real purpose of this website.... Maybe, they bought the domain name, and currently just provide this useless website, but provide maps later ?

It looks like the http://tileserver.4umaps.com/ is either not setup and or at least not setup correctly (SSL/TLS errors connecting). This means it's not useful with MOBAC. Is there any info on whether the owner of this site plans to fix the tileserver or is it just offline indefinitely?

Please check the website yourself, I don't see an OSM online map there. I can find only a Google Maps based view.

Reading the forum page above, the very last post on 2024-02-28 says that https://www.4umaps.com/ is online again. Does that mean it should work with MOBAC or am I missing something? Are there required config changes to download from this site or are there other issues?

The 4uMaps.eu server is gone - please read the whole story here in the forum https://sourceforge.net/p/mobac/forum/general/thread/106784dc1d/ Therefore errors like those you have posted are expected and can not be solved.

Technically it is possible, however OpenStreetmap.org disallows bulk download of tiles, and therefore MOBAC is blocked: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Blocked_Tiles

Nicolas, I'm surprised of what you say.... because MOBAC do not interfere at all neither with Firefox and Chrome, nor with Opera and Safari.... And as far as I know (or think to know, but maybe I'm wrong), it is the Java environment that provides which certificates are trusted or not. Which version of Java is used by your MacOS user ?
-
Laurent, On Windows and Linux, Firefox and Chrome support the certificate and this tag is no longer used (see: https://sourceforge.net/p/mobac/forum/map_sources/thread/ee90be8881/?limit=25#2800 ) But under MacOS, with Opera or Safari, it doesn't work! I will check your solution this evening and get back to you Nicolas

The main problem is that data.geopf.fr server uses a https certificate that belongs to a root ca that is not included in Java trust store. See SSL Labs report on that server: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=data.geopf.fr

Rainer Stadlmayr posted a comment on discussion Map Sources
Thanks r_x, the last explanation helped a lot to better understand the behaviour. And I did the following: I selected a number of tiles in Grid zoom 12 horizontally (e.g. 8 tile which gives me roughly 50 km) and created an atlas for these tiles. This produces the atlas including all texts (don't ask me why - at least I did not see anything missing). I repaeted this 8 times vertically so that in the end I have 8 atlases each containing a 5.3km stripe. Now comes a nice feature into the story that twonav...
-
The preview pane uses the same rendering system. The only difference is the order in which the tiles are rendered. Created maps are generated like you read an English text line by line left to right. The preview pane is generated in a spiral (AFAIR clock wise) starting at the center of the currently visible map. Not sure about the label cache with remembers what tiles already have been rendered.
-
Is it the same rule /process for rendering in the preview pane of MOBAC ? If yes, (and provided nothing is before in TileStore...) actual rendering (and then label presence) depend on what is the top left corner of preview pane when source is selected ? Correct ?
-
Using Grid Zoom has only an impact on the area you select, nothing more. MOBAC starts in the upper left corner generating the map tiles and then goes line by line down to the botton right corner. Changing the tile that is the upper left corner thus changes the tiles that had been rendered before and thus may have an impact on if a label is rendered or not. So it is coincidence that lapels appear or disappear.
-
Hi r_x, Laurent, thanks for your support. It looks as if the tiles of the highest zoom level (which are the smallest tiles) determine which text is shown and which not. I did some testing and could see that depending on the placement of the text box it may or may not appear in .rmap. Not good as there seems to be no solution for this problem. What it does not explain is the following: why dowes it work perfectly well when I use Zooom levels 12-17 only and set Grid zoom to 12 (selecting one tile of...

Hi. Even if the title is "openandromap" I think this discussion is actually about the Mapsforge rendering library included in MOBAC. That map tiles in the preview pane are not identical to the tiles used in the atlas is possible. When using Mapsforge as generator I remember that there was always the label problem. Mapsforge generates the labels dynamically, based on the already neighbour tiles. The main problem are labels that are larger than one tile or that are placed at the border so that the...

Hi, I confirm there is a problem (or at least a strange behaviour !), and the problem is in the atlas itself, not in TwoNav. I first tried to find on the web a technical description of Rmap format... but I didn't find it. Then, I saw that this format is readable by Orux maps. I then generated three atlases, covering the same (small...) area - one atlas with only zoom level 14 - one with only 15 - one with only 16 - and one with the three levels, 14, 15 and 16 In all cases, grid zoom level was set...
-
In my case it definitely depends on the size of the map that I select: with apprx. 6.3x6.3 km (Grid Zoom 12) it seems to work, with the larger sizen 12.6x12.6km (Grid Zoom 11) the text is partially missing. It gets worse the larger the coverd area is. I really hope that someone can find the issue. Thanks @ all.

@Babbudor: ok, I did not mention this and repeated the test: - Zoom Level set to 17, Gruid Zoom set to 12: it works - Zoom Level set to 17, Gruid Zoom set to 11: it does not work, some texts (not all) are missing So obviously the Grid Zoom does have an effect. It is definitely a flaw in MoBAC, the RMAP file does not contain the text. I opened the rmap file in QLandkarteGT - same issue: the text is not there :-(

The grid should have no impact on map generation, it's just a tool to help selecting tiles To rule out MoBAC, please do some tests like I did with only 1 zoom level in the RMAP

Hi all, I'm very surprised with what is said in this discussion. I do not know internal syntax / architecture of TwoNav RMap files, but the main principle of MOBAC is to generate raster images of map tiles. A MOBAC atlas is no more a vector map (like the OpenAndroMaps map file is), in which external application "builds" the images to be displayed, but a collection of completely defined and static images, in Jpeg or in PNG format. So, if what you write is true (and surely it is !) this would mean...

@Rainer Have you done a test with only zoom level 11 in the RMAP ? If not, there is always a doubt on which zoom level TwoNav is using I can't any good reason why MoBAC would get a different raster rendering for the tiles it displays on screen and those it package in a RMAP. Still the OSM rendering could be a bit tricky...

Hi, I did more testing and found similar behaviour as Barbudor describes: When I use Zoom Level 12-17 (Grid Zoom set to 12) I can create -rmap files that are close to what I see in MoBAC. Not all details are identical but it would be a very good result / compromise. It does not work properly when I use Grid Zoom set to 11 or lower. Although some text fields appear in Land most of the texts are missing. The problem is that with Grid Zoom set to 12 the map size is very small (roughly 6x6 km) and I...

There are definitively differences in the way TwoNav is managing zoom when using multi-zoom layers maps I've created a test exporting only a zoom 16 layer and I can't see any differences between both MoBAC is using discrete zoom level while TwoNav is using a continuous zoom and you can't really control at which exact zoom level it change layer.

Hi, I downloaded a map from openandromaps.org. It comes as a ".map" file. Afterwards I integrated the map as map source by adding an xml file to the mapsources directory. I also added an xmlRenderTheme file which is working fine. I can open the map in MOBAC without problems, it is displayed well. Text information is displayed depending on the zoom level and MOBAC takes the settings in the RenderTheme into account. Very nice, excellent work. Unfortunately I cannot use the .map file directly in my...

Michael Bechtold posted a comment on discussion General Discussion
I see where you are coming from, Laurent. Both of your points were the reason I started building these OAM world maps (raster :-) for the lower zoom levels, where vector simply sucks in terms of result and performance. For ZL 12 up I do not see performance issues, even with older phones, though. Hence I use a combination of those world maps and vector maps (OAM) for my purposes. When trying James' 4UMaps theme with OAM, it seemed to me that is is faster than Elevate, but I did not do measurements...
-
Hi Michael, Yes, I'm using both maps in raster format, coming from various origins (and in particular, I was using the ones coming from 4UMaps, but not only !), and also vector maps from OAM (and also those from FreiZeitKarte) I'm using all these maps mainly in hiking activities, so most often at zoom level between 12 and 16 or more. Vector maps have a great advantage : great coverage, with at lot of details, in very "small" map files (when raster map files including level 16 or more are so big....)...

Hi micheal, many thanks for the explanation!

And I very much disagree with your statement re. raster quality as a general judgement. I am using vector maps plus a lot of curated content to produce World maps for lower zoom levels (up to 10 for typical users, but also up to 11, 12 or 13 for several regions of the planet, available from OAM web site. zoom level 10 and below is where raster rules. From 14 up, vector maps are just perfect re. efficiency. And apps like Locus, Orux and more can handle both types of data with equal ease. And download...

noone - one of the many surprises with keyboard automatic substitutions ;-)))
-
Hi Michael, who is Boone, and where do you see he plans to rebuild the "old" tool ? If true, it would be very good news, because whatever James could do in developing his theme, this solution will remain (unfortunately) far from raster tiles in term of efficiency / ease of use / drawing quality

PS: and the discussion above is about various languages support by this theme. Something that did not exist in the 4UMaps web version at all, if I recall correctly (you would have needed either storage for each language, or do rendering on the fly).

Hi Diego, the OLD way to use 4UMaps is history, and I see Boone around who would rebuild the old mechanics on a new platform (computing power, storage, network transfer volume). What James did was to adapt one of Tobias' themes to look like 4UMaps. Theme??? Well, OpenAndroMaps (OAM) provides cool VECTOR maps that you download to your smartphone first of all. Then add James' theme, and of course you need an App like Locus or Orux to do the work ON YOUR DEVICE. I.e., once set up, you can stop your...

I'll start by apologizing to everyone for my incompetence on the topics. I understood that someone (James?) would be able to restore the wonderful 4U maps abandoned by Markus. I ask some patient person to explain to me how I can view the maps on the desktop or on the smartphone, in the simple way (if possible) as before, that is, a normal URL. Thank you. Diego
