Maps

Pick a basemap and download offline tiles

The Maps page controls what you see under the APRS overlay on the Live Map. Two settings live here: which basemap to use, and which regions to keep on disk for off-grid use.

Map source

Pick one of two basemaps:

Graywolf private maps	Polished, ham-radio-tuned cartography served from graywolf’s own tile infrastructure. This is the default. It needs a one-click registration so the tile server knows which station is asking.
OpenStreetMap public tiles	Free, available everywhere, no registration. Cartography is rougher than the Graywolf basemap but you can’t beat the price or the reach.

Registration

Registration ties this graywolf install to your station callsign so it can pull from the Graywolf tile server. The page shows when you registered and under which callsign. If something goes wrong with the registration on this device — corrupt token, hostname change, or just paranoia — click Re-register this device for a fresh one. Your other registered devices keep working unaffected.

Offline maps

For stations that operate off-grid, in remote sites with flaky backhaul, or just don’t want to depend on a tile server, you can pre-download vector tiles to local disk. Pick a region under OFFLINE MAPS → Add a region. The drawer shows a country tree: expand United States to grab individual US states, expand Canada for provinces, or pick a whole country. The Live Map will use the local tiles automatically where coverage exists and fall back to online tiles outside those areas, so you don’t need to predict in advance which corner of the map you’ll be on.

A US state is typically tens to hundreds of megabytes; whole countries can run to several gigabytes. Download them while you have a good network — they live on local disk after that, regardless of whether graywolf has internet.

Existing per-state downloads from earlier versions of graywolf survive the upgrade unchanged — nothing to reconfigure.
