without an airport near "my current location" is my goto. is there a direct link for this? (otherwise i may hack together some userscript that clicks that button for me...)

"my assumption" would have been some x/y/angle/zoom params on the url, maybe even with some of the settings encoded in... (autorotate, render-radius or terrain height would be first to come to mind)

my "not getting any tiles" must have been 2 or 3 days ago - and from the last time i had to mess with tiles i do remember that to be fairly ugly in regards to performance/scaling so i feel you ;)

also addon after trying the "direct link to an airport": - this still loads at the random-US-airport first. with some tweaking there is likely an entire tilefetch you can save^

thx!



I’ll work on adding a ‘near me’ direct link. I totally missed that feature so thanks for mentioning it.

Thanks for also pointing out the direct link to airport bug.

I’m planning on furthering the deep link capabilities so you can save other settings.

The premium that I’m planning will have more robust ability to save settings presets.


Done! Use ?airport=nearme
