ShoesBologna Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 I'm having a rough time understanding map tiles. I've searched. I've listened to every podcast that Nic has been on. I just can't get it. I've been working with my offline lists, and trying different combinations for map tiles, at different zooms, and only downloading them "only around cache radius." But I just can't figure it out. Can someone point me to a video or something that can explain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Hubbard Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 I would be happy to help. What were you not understanding? Are map tiles not working for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoesBologna Posted August 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 They seem to be working with some of the caches. But after I download all tiles, they seem to work zoomed out, but when I try to zoom in, it goes black. As though there is no tiles for that location.

Can you let me know what the location is so I can give it a test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoesBologna Posted August 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I'm working out of Okinawa Japan. If you have a "how to" prepare for caching (i.e. while connected to wifi-->do 'x' so you can have 'y' result) I can help with the problem framing.

Nic Hubbard Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I problem is likely that our tile provider only creates level 17 tiles when they are requested. So, often if someone has not downloaded that area before, those higher level zoom tiles will not be available, which I realize is a frustrating problem. We are getting close to releasing OSM vector maps which go to zoom level 21 and will fix this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
