Image Overlay
Is there currently the ability to add an image overlay to a map that stays bounded to the map? We do work with festivals who typically have custom maps that they want overplayed on top of real map data. Is that possible with this?
Nitrag...Are you saying that the Android version has this feature to add a custom .jpg or .eps image over the top of a MapBox map? Is that why you linked to your Android build?
Oh I'm sorry, pasted this link in the wrong window. Disregard. I kept this window open hoping someone would know the answer because I am curious as well. Sorry!
Wait. So you want an image, let's say a police car on a highway, to be stuck to a certain Geo Point on the map so that it always stays in that location? Because that's just a standard Annotation. I just added the ability for custom images so you can do that.
Unfortunately no. Let's say I have a custom map that I created in Illustrator for a Festival with custom drawings on it. I might want to overlay that on top of the map but under the annotations. I would want it to stay anchored to the map background and not change size like the annotations do.
Ah OK. So you want a custom map then. Hmm. Well this module supports offline. The data file is in .mbtiles format. If you could find a program to convert your image into geo spatial (perhaps the right term?) Then export as a .mbtiles then you'd be good to go I would think.
I used GIS Portable Basemap Server to create a mbtiles file. But I don't think it can do what I mentioned above. On Apr 30, 2015 3:29 PM, "Jeff Abele" [email protected] wrote:
