Harry,

Nice idea, although I think a better approach would be to add a WMS client which could access a Geoserver or any other wms map server.

Actually re-reading your post, maybe that's what you meant!

Hi Simon,  Nice to hear from you . 

Geoserver, which we have running on OpenGTS, is a  WMS compliant.  When we have time, we will look at implementing that into the Q Ground Control.  Certain parts of the world are not mapped very well, or there is a greater need for detail, which is not available from on line mapping services. 

If you have any pointers on where in the Q Ground Control to put the map server URL, I would be highly appreciative. 

Thanks,

Harry

Hey,

all map-related things in QGroundControl are from the OpenPilot OpMapControl. I don't know about WMS, so no specifics here, but the code for getting map tiles is (from the QGC root) in

src\libs\opmapcontrol\src\core\opmaps.cpp

Regards,

Nicolas
