Topic: Can I change map provider?

I notice Online Maps use google map which is blocked in China.
I just want to know can I change to other map provider.
Thanks.

Re: Can I change map provider?

Hello.

Online Maps support:
Google Maps, ArcGIS, Nokia Maps (HERE.com), MapQuest, Virtual Earth (Bing Maps), Open Street Maps, Sputnik.
In addition, Online Maps has the ability to download tiles from custom URL.
Unfortunately, Baidu Maps is not supported (it has another projection).

Thanks Alex,

There are several other map in China can you test those map?

http://ditu.amap.com/

I am not sure if you can test it without English translation, but if you can teach me how to check if those map has the same projection with Google, I can do it for you.

And after reading the document, it says Mapbox is Partially supported. And how much do you support? I really like their map because it can just a style map you want. It is really impotent in our game.

Thanks,

Ronin

Here is another map provider in China
http://map.qq.com/

Re: Can I change map provider?

Hello.

AMap works.
But we do not add it to the list because amap not have global coverage.
You can use amap, selecting «Provider - Custom».
Satellite: http://webst02.is.autonavi.com/appmapti … p;z={zoom}
Map: http://webrd03.is.autonavi.com/appmapti … p;z={zoom}

QQ is not works.
It has some specific TileY, and I do not understand how it works.
Perhaps there somewhere information about it, but I do not know Chinese.
QQ has good quality tiles, and if you (or someone else) has information about projections of QQ, please write to us.
I think supports of QQ will be useful for Chinese users.

To use MapBox you need to select «Provider - Custom», and specify the URL pattern.
To find the URL, you need (img1):
1. Open the browser developer tools. Hotkey in most browsers - F12.
2. Find an address request to download any tile. It will look like:
https://a.tiles.mapbox.com/v4/saman.ed4 … _token=XXX
3. Modify address.
It should look something like this:
https://a.tiles.mapbox.com/v4/saman.ed4 … _token=XXX
Thank you for your question. We write this in the documentation.

Hey, Alax,

Thanks for you help.
Please add Amap to the list, it does widely use in China. UBER, default Iphone Map and Airbnb use Amap when they come to China. It has a Chinese name called GaoDe Map and it is a sub company of Alibaba Group.

I will check QQ and Baidu later and write to you.

Thanks again

Also I found out that  GPS Emulator  is not working in Editor mode.

As I check the OnlineMapsLocationService.cs you check Input.location.isEnabledByUser at the beginning of the Update loop. It will always a false value when running in editor mode in Unity5.

Not sure if it is because I set up wrong or a bug?
Thanks.

Re: Can I change map provider?

Hello.

We will add AMap in the next update.

Bug with GPS emulator we have already fixed (v2.2.0.4+).
This problem appears again in the latest versions?
