I got 404 Not Found from Mapzen Shutdown :( · Mapzen

I assume one has to sign up with Bing maps to get the keys.

Ah, so that map option is defunct now then :roll_eyes:

Silly question, I love the naming of your distance rings. Where do I put that code?

script.js can be found in the folder

/usr/share/dump1090-fa/html

Reinstalling dump1090-fa will overwrite the files in this folder with originals in case you screw it up.

.

An alternative to reinstall:

First create a backup copy of file you are going to edit

cd  /usr/share/dump1090-fa/html/
sudo cp script.js  script.js.orig

Now edit the file

sudo nano script.js

.
If you screw up the file, replace it with a fresh copy from backup

cd  /usr/share/dump1090-fa/html/

#Delete screwed up file
sudo rm script.js

#Create a fresh copy from backup
sudo cp script.js.orig  script.js

On my old setup I could see my polar chart, how do I get this back, I am using version 3.6.3 dump1090-fa, I’m sure it will be something very simple that I have forgotten to do

That looks the coverage map of virtual radar server? At least vrs has the ability to create such a map, but you’ll have to install and configure it to read your feeders output.

It is also possible to create a coverage map directly in Skyview, I think it is included in the customisations @alkissack developed. You’ll have to edit some files and add/copy code.

If you are also feeding Planefinder there is one located at http://pi:30053/

EDIT: and click on the P button at the top left to toggle Polar Range Chart

Is there a way to turn on the history tracks for aircraft? I thought I found settings for it, but I’m still not seeing them. The old UI had a button to toggle the track lines. I don’t see a settings button on this new UI. Am I missing something?

Which UI do you have now? There should be a “show all tracks” button in the top right.

There was that button on the UI that came with PiAware. I switched to the one that’s being talked about in this thread (GitHub - alkissack/Dump1090-OpenLayers-html: Modifications to the Openlayers html files (part of the dump1090-fa branch)).

It appears there is one option for showing the track for the selected aircraft, then there is a button to select all aircraft, which essentially gives me what I was looking for.

Someone asked for help in this thread.

I installed Al Kissack’s web files and it works for me, but I have a question.

How/where do you change the settings so the aircraft are colored by altitude. I read the instructions on Al’s Github, but I wasn’t able to understand what to change. I found the reference to AK9C to be rather cryptic. I found that section in planeObjects.js, but didn’t know what to change.

Thanks!

Hi

I wonder if someone can help me

I have renamed my /usr/share/dump1090-fa/html folder

I have copied the files from Alkissacks Dump1090 OpenLayers public_html folder into /usr/share/dump1090-fa/html

I have then cleared my browser cache (many times) but I still dont see any of the UK Airspace options

I still see the US options

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong

I’m running PiAware 6.1

Thanks

Graham

Hi

All sorted now - was copying files to the wrong directory

Copied them into /usr/share/skyaware/html folder and all worked
