Mapping locations | farmOS. shows snapping grid.
Is there a setting in the browser that needs to be turned on?
Is there a Base layer that needs to be selected?
I have tried Safari, Chrome, Vivaldi on Mac and IOS. Edge and chrome on Windows.
Below is as screen shot with the “#” selected in the bottom left corner but no grid
Trying to quickly create raised garden beds all 4x4, any additional suggesting on hosted instance would be welcome as well.
When you say “hosted instance” you mean on Farmier right?
I just tested on https://asset-link-test.farmos.net (which I believe is similarly hosted) and was able to get the snapping grid to appear in both Chrome (version 98) and Firefox (version 125).
Sorry if this is obvious from the GIF in the docs but, you’re clicking the little “#” button, then clicking two more times before expecting to see the grid right? (The first click sets the “origin” point and the second click sets the rotation of the grid.)
Another troubleshooting step would be for you to try activating the grid in a well known place like New York City, USA and see if it shows up there. It is unlikely but theoretically possible that there could be a bug in the math to create the snapping grid that only affects some specific part of the world.
Thank you for the information.
For the record: the snapping grid needs to be activated prior to selecting polygon. That was the error in my usage.
I will follow up with any additional questions or issues.
Thanks
This thread helped me get started with the snapping grid but led to another problem for me.
I set the dimensions to 1 foot x 1 foot but the grid does not reflect the updated dimensions. I make a polygon with the four closest dots and get a polygon with 6 sq ft - should be 1 sq ft. The grid also does not render visually as square - the x dimension appears approx 2x the y dimension even though both set to 1 foot.
I wrote the above paragraph then went back to the map and the dimensions had rescaled and I got a 1x1 grid and made a 1 ft sq polygon. I may have toggled between full and no-full screen for the map - not sure. So I deleted all the beds I had made without the grid tool and tried again. Same problems with the grid not being at the correct scale regardless if I move between full and not full screen and when I zoom.
Any suggestions on what I’m doing wrong?
Thanks
