Holding down on the map --> pressing 'Actions' --> then 'Download map' works very well offline, thank you!
I did not know about the offline satellite download within OSMand, TIL.
What is the most open and still usable satellite tileset? Is it MS Hybrid?
That works for online usage, thanks.
Does not seem to cache the satellite tiles for usage offline.
Note: I had to enable 'Online sources' to make the underlay option show up.
Thanks for this.
Do you know what happened to RMaps?
The previous page for it on fdroid 404s.
Hi, thanks for the suggestion, I added some extra info.
Do you know if there is a solution where you can pre-load satellite imagery tiles, for use when away from coverage areas?
GMaps WV will show 'No internet - Retry' if you are out of coverage areas, and is unusable offline.
Hi, I added extra info.
Do you know if it is possible to pre-load satellite imagery tiles, for use when away from coverage areas?
Also, is the MS Hybrid mapset installed from, Plugins --> AnyGIS online maps collection ?
Satellite maps on fdroid?
RMaps previously provided free satellite imagery, and any geo-location could be shared from OSMand to RMaps, to quickly show a satellite overview. (Tiles from ARCGIS IIRC)
What is the current state of satellite imagery in fdroid?
How can an OSMand location be quickly opened as a satellite view?
Edit: Extra info is, I'm looking for an offline satellite image solution. Full pre-loading of a specific areas, before travel.
With RMaps, it was possible to pre-load the tiles for the remote-location needed at various zoom-levels, before travelling a few 100kms from cell-towers, and then still being able to access an offline-satellite-view of those locations when there.
Some good ones from the fdroid app-repo.

Nope, I've never posted, just remember it as a huge trove with a decent vibe.
Pretty sure it is just: create account and post.

BONUS TOMT:
I'm looking for the name of a FLOSS Quake1-mod, puzzle game, that was about placing gravity points, to curve a stream of particles around the level, and eventually into the goal target. (May have used irrlicht) If anyone knows the name of this one, please let me know, it is my white-whale of games.
Horse-flippers? Have any horses from history, ever been fitted with horseshoes that improve their ability to swim?
That's it. Any horse, any time period, any peoples, did they fit a shoe that helped the horse to swim in water?
(Was thinking about how horses are pretty good swimmers, maybe due to their power and hoof shape. Could they be better?)
Not having it

Is the Amazfit Bip still a good choice for simple duration/route/heartrate/step/sleep tracking?
It works with gadgetbridge out of the box, with no need to connect with other software or create a remote account. 20-30 day battery life.
I saw the PineTime today, which looks interesting.
I've tried a Bip Pro, but it requires a connection and account before being usable with gadgetbridge.
What are the other options to consider? Which watches have higher accuracy for sleep/HR/step metrics?
Boggle - drag to highlight words
Dropdown menu at top for other modes.
This one at least describes the 1400 partners they will share your information with.
Has an opt-out option too.

This video is an interesting behind-the-scenes look into the capabilities and senses of each different enemy in the 1993 videogame DooM.

A look at where consumer available FPS began with Maze Wars+ (1987)
Maze Wars+ was the first experience of a networked-multiplayer-graphical-game for many people, and completely mindblowing for the era.

Perth Aurora Photo thread
I'm interested if anything was visible from the Perth metro area. Will it only show up in dark-sky places away from towns.
Can also post if you saw it anywhere else in WA too. Location, day and time etc.
And Now for my next Number, I'd Like to return to the Classics
