World map generation

Mark Thompson edited this page Mar 19, 2024 · 3 revisions

The Release package includes a map, however you can create your own following simple rules:

  • world_map.jpg should be square (i.e. 32768 x 32768 px)
  • The projection of the map is Mercator based on the World Geodetic System (WGS) 1984 geographic coordinate system (datum)
  • Longitude and latitude cover the map from -180 to 180 and -85 to 85, respectively. Note that latitude does not go up to 90 (since most available maps do not include the 5 initial degrees)
  • Center of the map should be 0-degrees latitude and 0-degrees longitude (where the prime meridian and equator intersect)

With those conditions fulfilled, place the input map in: sdcard/ADSB/world_map.jpg and then run firmware/tools/generate_world_map.bin.py. Your map will be generated on: sdcard/ADSB/world_map.bin
