Not that I know of (since 2017). Have you tried using HTTPS? Or maybe your cache is returning you a mix n match of old and new code and shift+reload should do the trick and force an update.

try https://www.venhola.com/maps/geo.php#24.0,60.2226329,12

OK that last link shows me a map area but how do I get to this screen?



when I use

https://www.venhola.com/maps/

I can see the screen but it won't give me the map

Try right click -> reload on the blank screen. There are two files, both of which have been changed and if you've recently visited the site your browser (or ISP) may serve you the old one.

I'll change that form target to HTTPS link as well so it'll ease up things a bit.

Your field values take me to URL https://www.venhola.com/maps/geo.php#2.774,50.379,0 which seems correct to me.

It's working for me now though I have not changed anything in the link I have been using all along.

Thats good news...a bit odd but computers can be...... I did run a map and everything was in the zip, the numbered CMT, DAT and TXT ( I KNEW adding the TXT to maps would come in handy )

As usual, this is truly "A thing of beauty"

Thanks again for creating it

The only suggestions I can offer at this time would be to make "DOWNLOAD" a bit larger and more conspicuous.

The other is a bit more involved

First off I LOVE the 50/50 map satellite overlay ( really, really like that )....might it be possible to allow a DL of the map area that shows that overlay and the hex grid ? right now, there is no way to get the entire map with grid without doing multiple screen shots then manually piece them together

First thing should be easy, I have an idea on how to do the second one... BUT: how large a map (resolution) should it be? I have three images attached where in each one pixel is approximately 5 meter, 2.5 meters and 1.25 meters across. The resolution of the image naturally doubles on each level of zoom.
So respective resolutions for the produced images will be about 1600x1200, 3200x2400 or 6400x4800 pixels. Zoom level sample images (~900x600 px) included in a zip file as they were larger than the max allowed attachment size for images.

I think it could be included in the downloaded zip file if requested so they're all served at once. In the download settings there will be
Map image:
(x) None
( ) Map
( ) Satellite
( ) Combined

It'll be then generated at server side.

I think after looking at these it's a toss-up between 2.5 and 5. 1.25 brings things in closer than I think it really needed.

The smaller the file DL'd the better as long as the grid numbers can be read when viewed zoomed it using a graphics program I think 5 would do the job BUT the test would be how it looks Map/Satellite Combined and what the final file size is.

My first attempt (2670x2880, about 8 megabytes) at 5m per pixel resolution.
