Sure. The biome map, height map, and color map?

Just drove it from the runway with detachable rover wheels =D

Surprised it didn't go this direction sooner. 538.8 m/s

Added textual elevation and slope on hover, and a loading indicator to show when the textual data is loading. Eventually the marker popups and info control will both format coords according to user preference, what we have now is placeholder. Not sure whether I want to wrap to map bounds, I'll have to think about it (right now the validator only ensures it's numeric).

It's not possible to wrap horizontally right now, maybe when Leaflet 0.7 comes out if projections are fixed. You can switch between decimal and DMS formatting by clicking on the coordinates. Did not know that about Eve and Laythe, cool.

Yes thats fine, just no links to links to test, thats running on an Intel Atom powered box in my garage.

While mapping stuff It was immediately obvious that the way the game figures out the biome locations is prone to slivers of biomes where they were not intended. One very curious one was an intersection of 6 biomes on the Mun, with two more a little over 5km away. Both have relatively flat areas to land too. Figured it might come in handy for churning out some science in the lower tiers. Could also make for an interesting tier 0 trip. (Can store surface sample for each, right?)

Another update. Now has biome color maps, biome hover text, and the position format can be changed by clicking on it. URL param draft finalized. All the maps are the same pixel resolution: 16384x8192. Equatorial m/px is just (radius * 2pi) / 16384. About 230 m/px for kerbin. I dont use any game textures in making my maps that cant be accessed or generated from the public API. In 0.22 and prior It wasn't possible get Jool or the Sun, 0.23 added some new map related classes and methods, but I've not yet poked around in them.

Hi. It's something I'd like to do, but leaflet projection support is broken right now. I'm currently using Proj4Leaflet to get the equirectangular projection (it's what the game textures use). I'm waiting for leaflet to get good projection support upstream before I add any more. It was supposed to be added in the current release, but got pushed back to the next one. (In short I'm not holding my breath, I'd estimate sometime between 3 months and ∞) On another note, I've gotten the biome mapper to generate 16k x 8k maps pretty fast, and finished the UTFGrid writer. There's already a Leaflet UTFGrid plugin so it should be ready Soon.

Been out of town for the last week, but I'm planning on adding biomes soon. Just asking the api for the biome for each pixel on a map in the same manner as I do for height data is much too slow (about a week per body at kerbalmaps res). I experimented with a couple different ways to get good results faster before I left, but wasn't really satisfied with any of them. Kerbalmaps is already higher resolution than the source textures and heightmaps. The biome maps are only 1024x512. Soon

Could you share the fixed source?

I'm not surprised, the surface of Kerbin is alot bigger than the maps! Within three meters is pretty darn close.

It's possible with a 3:1 intake to turbojet ratio. My strategy was once near the max velocity I could get with the turbojets (1820 m/s at 27km) at full throttle, I pitched up, throttled back and burned both the nuke and the jets until they didnt have enough air to keep climbing. Then killed the jets and maxed the throttle on the nuke until my Ap was a the desired alt. I used MJ to control the throttle to prevent burnout. You could do it manually by watching the intake air readout in MJ or KER. I don't see how it would be possible without mods. I've done it vanilla but with a pair of Rockomax 48-7s for some extra thrust. Here's the craft I used:

Another used told me the query to fetch the data was blocked by adblock.

I might integrate the graphs with kerbal maps one day, but here it is standalone for now.

Added min/max markers to kerbalmaps. Also added new value for overlay parameter "poi". Edit: A sample link for how we could show the highest point on Eve

There's a large mustache shaped island on Laythe at around -0.40,-158.42, the south shore in the middle is pretty flat. Since it's nice and equatorial and the flat part runs east/west it's my goto spaceplane landing spot on Laythe. Here's a screenshot form kerbalmaps (see my signature) Edit: Personally i think the ruggedness and lack of land make Laythe more challenging and interesting

You cant prove a negative. What I can say is that I've enumerated all the objects on each celestial body's surface available through the API, and there's nothing in the list on Eve. Eve is all one big magnificent purple nightmare. The magic boulder is orbiting Ike.

That was an interesting bug to track down, but it should be fixed now.

OK here you go. Please don't post any urls to test.kerbalmaps.com on the wiki though, this is a draft.

Uploaded Kerbin and Eve slope relief files with oceans masked. Some chrome users who reported this issue said it was fixed by disabling all add-ons. If that does not solve the problem please let me know which browser and browser version, and OS and OS version.

Sent a 19 ton SSTO space biplane to laythe and back.

Not yet named space biplane. 19 tons to Laythe and back.

\It will decay, to speed up the process time warp at the fastest speed you can while over 70km. Once you're in the atmosphere use the physics time warp (Alt + <> ) to speed up the time spend in atmo. Each pass will lower you're velocity, every time you'll dip lower and lower into the atmo too, which increases in density exponentially.

When landing in vacuum you can approximate your landing location with the map view. At the opposite side of the orbit from your landing zone burn retrograde to place the Pe a few km over the LZ and coast. When you get to the Pe perform another retroburn, use the velocity indicator above the navball in surface mode (change between surface/orbit/target mode by clicking it) and kill the relative surface velocity. Next point radial (up, away from the surface), you can either slow down gradually or perform a suicide burn at low altitude. The latter is more efficient, but timing it right will require some math. Atmospheric landings are a bit trickier, the atmosphere gets exponentially denser as you near sea level. There are some charts[1][2] and a tutorials[1] to help. More instrumentation is always helpful, if you're not opposed to mods. There is Steam Guages and Kerbal Engineer Redux, that have a radar altimeter and can give you horizontal and vertical velocity independently. MechJeb is an autopilot and information plugin. It has a landing module that can model the atmosphere and show you precisely where your craft will land. You can use it to adjust your trajectory manually so you'll land right on target. It can also automate the landing, you can even input the coordinates, if that's what you want. Some users will tell you whether to use one or more of these plugins, that their way is the one true path to Kerbal fun. Ignore them and play the single player sandbox game in the manner you enjoy most. My site, kerbal maps has detailed maps of all the bodies. The slope mode is especially useful when choosing a landing/base location and is very easy to read. The bottom left corner will show the coordinates of the position of the mouse cursor. ISA MapSat is a plugin that generates elevation maps on-the-fly. You have to build an orbiter and place it in a polar(ish) orbit to create the maps. It's great, the tradeoff vs kerbal maps is that it must collect the terrain data in real time, and cant be as high resolution as pre-rendered maps without impacting performance.
