Hi Cristiano,
Thanks for sharing your feature idea, it looks good. I will have a think about if/how this could be integrated into Waymark.
Do you simply upload a single image? How do you set the positioning?
Cheers,
Joe

Hi Joe
i use the tiles stored in the server https://www.visitsicily.eu/VENDICARIMAP/{z}/{x}/{y}.png
To produce the tails i use Maptiler (Desktop feature) , it assigns the coordinates to the drawing i have and produce the tiles with the zoom range i need.
Hope i m clear
Thanks

P.S. The feature could be just showing 2 basemaps overlayed

Thanks for the extra detail.
So if I understand correctly; you are able to load the Maptiler layer with Waymark, but you would like to display multiple Basemaps at once?
This is an interesting idea.

Hi Joe
I would like to sponsor this feature.
Moreover to have offline Custom maps using your plugin it would be necessary to have tiles preload (seeding) JS function.

Hi @ccapp,
Please feel free to outline more details (images are helpful too) about the specifics of how you see the Basemap feature working (front-end and back-end). That will help when looking into it to determine how much work this would be. However, I am quite busy at the moment so I can not give any guarantees as to when I can get to this.

Feel free to elaborate on this too. What are you offline requirements?

Hi Joe
i can’t give more technical details because i don t know much about code, what i would need , is: Add custom tiles on top of basemap , tiles stored in a server i.e. https://www.visitsicily.eu/VENDICARIMAP/{z}/{x}/{y}.png
After this , a plugin made for hiking or trekking should work with no internet…below some assumptions i made:
WORKING OFFLINE:
i ve used your plugin with no internet and the map + user location displays, WOW GREAT!!!, Other pluging do not do this
The problem is that to see the area i want in offlinemode , i MUST SEE IT ONLINEMODE FIRST , in this way the map (tiles + zoom)are charged in the cache, when i m offline the map can be displayed.
I was thinking to PRECACHE PREFETCH PRELOAD PRERENDER tiles with different zoom of the area I NEED using a function (JavaScript?), but i don t know anything aboute code.
Perhaps using a WEBAPP to support caching would be thinkable , …
Thanks

P.S. The good thing is that lines , Markers , shapes are always visible , either on line or offline , it is only the background map that need internet to show or need to be preloaded before going offline

Hi @ccapp,
Thank you for the extra detail, really I like all of your suggestions.
I of course see the need for offline Basemaps and have experience with creating native mobile mapping applications. My ultimate goal for Waymark is to offer full offline functionality, however this is a tremendous amount of work.
At the moment I have other priorities before these get to the top of my list, but I do plan on getting there! For now I have added your suggestions to the features list, please feel free to add any further details or other feature suggestions there!
Cheers,
Joe
