Once you have the server set up, you should be ready to import data from WiGLE. In the WiGLE app, select "database", then "backup database". After creating a backup, WiGLE will ask how to share the "backup-*.sqlite" file.

Once you got the file on your pc, open the file in a tool like DB Browser for SQLite.
In "DB Browser for SQLite", choose "File, Export, Table(s) as CSV file". Select "location" and "network". You can keep "Column names in the first line" checked, keep "Field separator" at the default ",", and keep "Quote character" at the default ".
Once you have a "network.csv" and a "location.csv" file, those can be uploaded to the database with the "Upload network file" and "Upload location file" options on the "tools" page.

In "wifimap\js\settings.js" there are several settings that can be changed. Those include various cosmetic settings for the map.
