Uploading map tiles in the Seeed studio sensecap indicator, has someone achieved it?

[Gilberto117mx]

Hi everyone,

I'm using the SenseCAP Indicator for Meshtastic® & LoRa®, and I'm trying to get offline map tiles to display properly in the Map tab of the UI.

I followed the instructions from:

• mattdrum/map-tile-downloader
• meshtastic/device-ui

I successfully downloaded the map tiles, but I haven’t been able to see them on the device. The Map tab loads, but it stays saying "map tiles not found"

Could someone please help clarify the procedure to see GPS coordinates in the sensecap indicator?

Any help would be really appreciated!

Thanks

You need a proper folder structure. Not exactly sure how to do it. I got Polish maps from my friend.

The moderator of Meshtastic in the redi community just replied to me the following:

"The SDCard is currently not supported as it is connected to the secondary MCU, the RP2040. However, there is work being done on get support added."

To be able to use the external port like UART for GPS, I2C for sensors or also SD card you'd need to program and flash the rp2040 because all these peripherals are connected to this cpu. There are a few external github projects that provide some of this functionality.

@mverch67 is it possible that you share those projects, repositories?
