[[File:StuartsSlippyMap1.png|thumb|Stuart pushed some changes to fgdata with OpenStreetMap, OpenAIP and VFRMap layers for the Canvas Map Layer system, which can be seen on the canvas map dialog. They use a generic Slippy Map OverlayLayer Map Layer. Additional web-based mapping can be trivially added by creating a new lcontroller. See Nasal/Canvas/map/OpenAIP.lcontroller for an example.I've also added a Web Mercator Projection to the Canvas Map support.The wiki will be updated shortly.<ref>{{cite web |url = https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?p=319545#p319545 |title = <nowiki> Re: Canvas G1000 </nowiki> |author = <nowiki> stuart </nowiki> |date = Sep 28th, 2017 |added = Sep 28th, 2017 |script_version = 0.40 }}</ref>]] | |||

Stuart Buchanan has just added some new Nasal Canvas MapLayers to support Slippy Maps, as used by most web-based mapping services such as openstreetmap. This allows us to display sectional charts (for the US - vfrmap.com), and airspace information (courtesy of openaip.org), as well as a openstreetmap data. The canvas Map dialog has been updated to support these layers. Map data is retrieved over http and cached locally.<ref>{{cite web | Stuart Buchanan has just added some new Nasal Canvas MapLayers to support Slippy Maps, as used by most web-based mapping services such as openstreetmap.
