AlpineQuest & OfflineMaps

Posted: **Wed Jan 29, 2020 2:12 pm**

Hi and many thanks for AlpineQuest.
Some 4pda_ru AlpineQuest users proposed to add an ability to use local storage not only for all installed maps but for every map.
Now we can check the option in MAPS & LAYERS section and select Use ony local storage. It is for all maps on the screen.

Users proposed to add this option to every map installed so that they could either use every map as offline or not. For example I have an aqx map and I used it, it is filled with cache. At some moment I want this particular map working only offline without being filled with new cahce. Now I can not do it, I can only use local storage for all maps. Users offer to make it for every map.

Hi Alex,
Yes I understand what you mean.
Currently the only way to change the settings of a particular map is to edit the .AQX file.
The application is not yet able to modify it. This is why you need to save a favorite set after modifying the color or anything of a map.
Hopefully in the future I'll be able to add this ability.

But until then, you need to manually edit the .AQX:
- Remove the "<update-delay>" tag, so the application will never update data;
- Remove the "<server>" tag(s), so the application will not download any data anymore for this map.

Hi, François.
I would like to add that aqx files should be modified in the datastore directory (datastore → custom maps or datastore → workspaces)

Instead of removing tags users can apply HTML Comment Tag

Code: Select all

<!--  Do not display it at the moment  -->

Examples:

Code: Select all

<!--  <update-delay>3M</update-delay>  -->

Code: Select all
