I’m trying to add a background map in my Yarbo Android app. I choose to use google maps, it perfectly shows my yard, but I fail to understand how to align it with the mapped area.
Tried 100 times with moving, zooming etc, but there is nothing to align it to. And when I click OK to continue, the google maps image is tiny piece somewhere God knows where and not aligned at all.
Any suggestions? What am I doing wrong here?
You have to line up the areas with the image manually. You have to drag the image over the areas. The areas should overlap the background picture helping you to resize and align.
I struggled with this too. Seems like it should be easier.
Keep in mind that the image will not overlay exactly to the Yarbo markings due to geometric distortion from the satellite image.
Microadjustment of uploaded (probably also for sat) image will make things simpler.
I uploaded image from dji drone and trying to adjust it perfectly for second month time to time. But its too difficult to merge it with the map as you cant micro adjust, zoom in, move to single pixel to any direction etc. Next time you click Edit Background you start from beginning.
If only there were a desktop app…. trying to resize and align the background map on my phone has proven to be…arduous. I got it to ‘good enough’ and left it there.
I still do not understand at which stage and how can i move the sattelite image above the mapped area or vice versa.
At which time in video and how can i move anything?
I have the same problem after the last app update. If your map is too big, then when you open maps to center a photo, Yarbo’s map is not probably centered so you can adjust the photo. On the Yarbo with the small map, I can center the image. But I can’t on the one with the big one.
I think we need help from Yarbo.
Have you tried toggling the map off/on?(bottom left button)
I don’t know if it will help, but I don’t see YOUR map on top of the google map.
Yes. Around 0:09 in the video.
I haven’t tried this. Have you tried centering the geo fence around your map while creating the background?
Yep. This is exactly what worked. Removed the geofence and here you go - the map is centered and i’m able to try to align it with google image. So yes - if geofence is not symmetrical to the map, then adding a background just don’t work. Although it’s funny that google centers directly to the yard, but puts it in the center of geofenced area.
There’s a fix for the wiki. @Yarbo-Forum
So it basically centered the google map in the geofence? Just trying to wrap my head around it.
no center geofence first.
I’m confused as well. It sounds like @andris.leja removed the geofence and that is how they fixed it. Maybe both methods work?
Here you go. 2 videos. One with geofence and other without geofence
Good it worked for you. I still can’t
Side Bar: I have taken a screen shot from Apple Maps and used the photo because on Apple Maps had a picture of fall not summer like it was in Google.
For some reason I liked the Apple version better. Seems a little “brighter.”
