thank you for your answer, I will try to find a more suitable card, but this one is already very good, thank you and I understand that if you put your card code on the internet your account will “explode” 😂 in your message you are talking about the iss icon, it seems to me, and that we can change it, is that correct? I am not familiar with the possibilities of the modules, could you tell me what to do please? thank you for your help

@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.

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?

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

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!

that was meant with “they combine several layers” but I don’t know how at the moment …

manu85340

@karsten13 ok, thank you for your work

manu85340

@karsten13 I just realized that I was using 2 accounts Manu85 and manu85340!!!

karsten13

I added options for city and country layers, see https://gitlab.com/khassel/MMM-ISS-Map#add-country-and-city-layers

If they are missing in the used map you can add them now in the config.

@karsten13 great, I just did the update and everything is functional, thank you for your work
