GPS MAP WIDGET

[zachrainnay]

Hello Everyone, I have utilized Serial Studio for quite some time to analyze my car's data, I've found great utility in its widgets. Currently, I'm attempting to integrate the GPS widget into my analyses. However, I've encountered an issue where the map area on the GPS visualization appears transparent. I've attempted to upload a GPS data CSV file to rectify this, but unfortunately, the visualization isn't rendering correctly. Could anyone provide guidance on how to resolve this matter and ensure the GPS visualization displays accurately?

Here is a snippet of the GPS data CSV file:
/*something,-37.6726,144.7547,130.8,0*/

/*
something = Test data
-37.6726 = Latitude
144.7547 = Longitude
130.8 = Altitude
0 = Test data
*/

pretty sure I have put the data on the right index because it shows on the photo i sent that it is in the right position, i have also tried to switch the index of the data but the same thing happened.

Here is what I meant by it's transparant:

Hi, the problem is with the GPS widget itself, I'll try to solve this issue ASAP during the weekend. I'll keep you notified.

Hey there,

I just updated the codebase to make the map widget functional again. The solution is not perfect, and I still need to register an OpenStreetMap API key for Serial Studio. However, it is a lot better than the current state of the GPS map widget.

You can give it a try in the latest build over at https://github.com/Serial-Studio/Serial-Studio/releases/tag/continuous. Please let me know your feedback on how it's working for you.

By the way, thanks for using Serial Studio for your car data analysis! Do you use any specific OBD2 adapter? Just curious, I recently began diagnosing and fixing car issues with an Autel Maxicom scanner, but it didn't cross my mind to try to use my own software for that 😆

Hi!

Please download the continous build from this link:

• https://github.com/Serial-Studio/Serial-Studio/releases/tag/continuous

The current stable build does not contain the changes that I implemented to fix the GPS widget issue.

Thanks,
Alex
