About two days ago I can no longer display sectional charts on PiAware. When selecting any of the aviation charts I simply get a blank background. What I did notice is the comment on the lower right that says “Tiles courtesy of ChartBundle”.
A little investigating I believe the url’s for the charts are pulled from /var/share/skyaware/html/layers.js and the aviation charts from “wms.chartbundle.com/wms”, this URL does not resolve in DNS.
Is there another location to pull the charts from?
Same problem here, with both PiAware and SkyAware Anywhere.
I read once that there are open source stand alone software packages as alternative to PiaAware. Anybody have experience or recommendations (good or bad) for any of these packages?
Even if I could simply store tiles for my general area and have the software pull them locally. Since they aren’t be used for navigation updating them once ever few years is way more than needed.
Also I can’t image it would take a lot of storage space.
Apparently Chartbundle.com was a hobbyist, not a company effort.
This is the explanation from Chartbundle in another forum
Shut down due to a combination of too many outdated components on the system with security vulnerabilities and no time to fix and upgrade them all. Figured it was time to throw in the towel before something bad happened
The source code is posted on Github, but it is beyond my coding abilities.
Flightfeeder SkyAware maps will not show any of the US chart backgrounds, just a blank background except for the NEXRAD radar. All the Worldwide overlays are working.
