@bhepler @karsten13
hello, this sharing of experience is wonderful, well done to you for pooling complementary experiences, I admire that two “different” projects can be complementary, I would really like to be able to have your knowledge to share it with others other people thank you

I have this implemented alongside MMM-ISS-Live and MMM-SpaceX and it looks great!

@karsten13 Any chance we can get a config option to use imperial units in the next update for the altitude and speed calculations? Also, an option to disable those calculations altogether?

@karsten13 - I don’t know which map framework you’re running, but I’ve been using Leaflet and it gives me a lot of flexibility in maps. Several free tile sources and many more that just require an API key. You can see a simple example at my MMM-Birdnet module. Specifically, check out the map options.

thanks!

I’m using ol (openlayers), with your help I found already the free cards of cartodb, they should work with ol too.

this is a small thing, will put it on my todo list, as I’m total unfamiliar with imperial units: Which are the ones you want to see, ft and mph?

used now mi and mph …

There is a new version with the above option and a new default map.

@karsten13 Bravo and thank you for your responsiveness, this card is more beautiful, the best would be to have a more colorful card, but you are at the top again, congratulations for your work

@Manu85

AFAIS they combine several layers, they are visible in the source code of the page.

For the main layer you can try

        mapUrl: "https://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Imagery/MapServer/tile/{z}/{y}/{x}",

@karsten13 thank you for your answer, I will try

[Manu85]

@karsten13 great, it works however there are no longer the names of the cities, do you think it would be possible to have a mix of the two? you are at the top, well done

[BerkSmash1984]

@karsten13 Awesome! I updated the module and my config, and see the imperial units. Thanks!
