Subscription Maps

[J G 927]

I am looking into using subscription maps with Plan-G

 

I understand from the manual that I should be able to use Mapbox to do this, but I don't understand how to make this work.

 

It seems like Mapbox allows you to have 3000 tiles free and so it would seem to be a good idea to set up Plan-G with Mapbox so that:

1. I know how to do it with other subscription services
2. I know what to look for with a service before I subscribe - So I don't waste money on a subscription that wont work with Plan-G   

 

I have tried to set up Mapbox but with no luck. However I am looking at the various things Mapbox offers and just trying pot luck as to what I must enter in the subscription maps box.  I would be good to have a tutorial as to how to link in to a subscription service and what to look for with a service to insure that it can be tied into Plan-G.

 

For example, can a subscription to Ordinance Survey allow their maps to be used in Plan-G?

 

Any help would be great!

Hi JG,

 

I created my Mapbox account years ago so I am a bit vague now, to start, you have to create an account then browse the  site.

 

Here is a help link https://www.mapbox.com/studio/explore/ to start you off.

 

Also here https://www.mapbox.com/blog/studio-manual/

map box changed the way they do things a short while ago, so make sire you have the latest public build of Plan-G (123, or 124 if you use X-Plane). Plus you'll find details of another user's stylesheet here http://www.tasoftware.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=3537.msg17158#msg17158
