I have made a list of helpful things below. This list will be updated if I find out about any issues.
1) I forgot to mention you can download as many tiles as needed. Only 6 tiles are loaded at any one time so there's no limit on the size of the downloaded region nor on the number of regions. The only limit is the size of the SD card.
2) At about minute 16 in the video I say to move "0,1,2" while moving 0,-1,-2. I meant to say "0,-1,-2"
3) Check out the ardupilot discussion thread where the project got started. It Might also answer questions you have. discuss.ardupilot.org/t/an-o....
There is also a rcGroups thread here
www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...
4) I have a video out on my flights with the mapping feature i setup before if you want to see the possibilities with this script: • Full Yaapu Telemetry F...

I know lots of you asked about being able to use other flight controllers and receivers with the yaapu scripts . This video has the answer!
Great Video! Alex has released some new file to run the original yaapu telemetry script with Crossfire! I dont know if it is possible for you to make a video about it, but it would help many people out...including me XD. Thank for all the support you have given this community
OH! And the most important: downloading sat tiles from google via MissonPlaner! you should look into this!
The channel’s looking good! I like your workshop setup!
Hey thanks dude!!
Thanks for this tutorial!!! Just got my maps working, and I’m so grateful because it was difficult!!! Still, thank you so much to the developers!
To summarize this entire procedure into parts:
1. Install Yaapu Telemetry Widget on Radio (if you haven’t already done so. This is covered in a separate video)
2. Install and download map PNG files (“tiles”) for your desired flight area
3. Convert PNG files to 100x100 resolution which can be viewed on the Radio’s screen
4. Copy files to radio
5. Add the Maps telemetry page on the radio (optional: configure two switches for quicker toggling (1) zoom and (2) telemetry pages.
My map “zoom level” is "-1" (“zoom level” = max zoom (which is confusing, because “Max” in GMapcatcher is zoomed out, but when I think of “Max zoom” I think of zoomed in (but min = zoomed in in GMapcatcher). Anyway! I won’t say “max zoom” ever again... (or maybe once more. There needs to be a better adjective.) My folders from GMapCatcher which I copied to the Radio were -1, 0, 1. Since screen resolution on the TX16S isn't so hot, maybe -2 is best like the video demonstration (ie: 0, -1, -2 folders) but I think it will be nice to see the zoom level at “1” for a wider perspective of where your drone is, especially if you do long-range.) Unless you have a crash and need to find your drone, then you want -2.
Some other trip-ups I had that others might encounter:
1. I had already installed the Yaapu Telemetry Widget before working on this Maps install, not realizing the same Yaapu Script is an all-in-one and has the capability to do maps (in addition to artificial horizon). I had installed a copy on my radio not knowing the two were the same. I think I missed the part where you assigned Page 5 to be Maps. (while page 1 and 2 are horizon and telemetry alerts. Worth noting when you first get started!) Page 3 and 4 are nothing? (or are more alerts?)
2. When I first loaded GMapCatcher, my version which I think is the latest as of now, had a Map selection dropdown which was defaulted to blank/null, and the field isn't labeled, so I had trouble seeing why no maps were loading. This is the map-selection drop-down. Not sure if this field is ever supposed to be null, but mine was null when I first downloaded the program. Maybe maps were not selected (I recommend adding all maps and figure out the good ones: Settings > Change Theme > Select Map Servers > Change all map values to 1 = on (aka enabled) so the map can be selected in the drop-down above the map viewport)
3. In GMapCatcher, it’s worth emphasizing the procedure to download is right-clicking on the map-area and selecting “batch download” and adjusting the zoom (eg you can highlight the desired area/zoom-out for the region you want to download (and be sure to specify the min and max zoom (again: in GMapCatcher: min = zoomed in, max = zoomed out, so select min = -2, max = 0 or 1 or 2). If you specify too much (too high a “max” such as greater than 1 or 2, you’re going to have a progressively massive download.
4. Worth emphasizing you can only have 3 levels of zoom on the Radio(ie -2, -1, 0 or -1, 0, 1)
5. GMapCatcher has a lot of interesting maps, but many don't have a full zoom level down to -2. It helps to try out all the map options. Google Maps "Terrain" has full range of zoom all the way down to -2. There are probably some better ones out there with satellite imagery. (eg, “Virtual Earth Satellite” looks good.)
6. One commenter said GMapCatcher now can download as 100x100, so running Imagemagick wasn’t necessary for him. This was not true in my case, unless there’s a way to set the resolution in the GMapCatcher settings, but I don’t see that option. The map “tiles”/PNGs are 256x256 when downloaded and would not be read by the Yaapu Script on my radio. “No Image” is displayed on the radio at the downloaded 256x256 resolution.
7. There are several ImageMagick versions out there. I had downloaded the wrong one from Github. When I looked carefully at your video, you had downloaded the “Portable Q16 x64”. (I believe the Github page for Yaapu Telemetry/Maps no longer had the Github link to ImageMagick) The incorrect versions of Imagemagick have no “Magick.exe” (and of course you want to download the correct version for your CPU). I downloaded “7.0.10-40-portable-Q16-x64” (and put the entire folder in program files)
8. I noticed there is a 2nd menu setting screen on the radio in OpenTX under System > Tools (1st Tab) > Yaapu Maps. There is an option to set the most-zoomed in (“zoom level”) (eg -2 or -1) here as well, so I’m not sure if there can be a conflict with the executable menu in the 2nd tab under “SCRIPTS”, but it’s worth noting that this might cause problems for some people.
I hope this helps out some other folks! Good luck and enjoy!
GREAT ! Finally YAAPU maps works ! Thank a lot man !
Glad it helped!
Very cool, I will definitely try this out!
Very useful video. Thanks. I now have maps on my Tx16s.
Works fine with my Radiomaster TX16S. Thanks :)
Thanks video!!
I'm awaiting my RadioMaster TX16S, I will try this for sure! Just one question, is there any ability to log the flight on the controller? So it can be "replayed" later or at least just have the coordinates accessible later.
thanks for the great video mate! Do you have any idea how to import maps or terrain tiles? In SD/SCRIPTS/YAAPU/MAPS you only find sat_tiles. Any idea?
Currently running iNav Telemetry and this Yaapu Telemetry scripts including 10 sensor readings from Omnibus PRO V2 + X8R at the same time,no issue at all :) Very great infos!!!
how do you do that? I only get GPS to work with Yaapu, any other sensor isn't shown
@@vovsen123 You have to edit this script & put it in the CFG folder github.com/yaapu/HorusMappingWidget/blob/master/HORUS/SD/SCRIPTS/YAAPU/CFG/examples/yaapudev_sensors_maps.lua
Cliff Khew thanks ill put it to works tomorrow, too busy today

Hello, I changed the code in this file on the radio and the sensors of other sensors are still not working out: / maybe there is no ready lua file? and I don't know if I did it right, I opened the file in notepad and then first delete the old code then copy paste new?
Hi. New to your channel. Really appreciate you videos. Have you tried Yaapu on the openTX companion? I keep getting a syntax error. Thanks
NICE!!
Excellent tutorial. I got it all setup and its working well on my T16 with Crossfire and Bn-180 gps
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I was wondering how you download more than 6 tiles? (default)
Also, When i download a location which is not where my gps is, after i finished converting maps and moving the maps to my T16, my t16 shows the location maps where my gps is located not a location i selected a few miles away?
Thanks ,Joe
Hi, congratulations on the illuminating video. I installed the Yaapu telemetry and maps, leaving a switch to go from zoom 0 to -2. However, the intermediate zoom -1 is not displayed (the switch does not highlight it on the display). Can I be wrong after that? Can you give me some indication?
Sincerely, Aldo Guarasci
Why won't gmaps catcher download past level 12/13 ? It worked days ago now suddey doesn't .. any ideas ?
Please do the video for the telemetry.
You say will work with any receiver Alex the developer says same thing. My setup is inav wing with crossfire, and radiomaster tx16s, I've had the yaapu maps and sensors working for sometime problem is I can't use these maps because the arrow on map will not show correct heading although my inav lua script will. All yaapu sensors on map border seems fine except the hdg sensor it seems not to be updating. Any ideas what could be the problem? Is there anyone else with this setup that has it working properly. Thanks
Hello, great widget and works fine ... except for the arrow ... it doesn't turn in the direction of flight !? But the value for heading is displayed ?! (Radiomaster TX16s + Crossfire TX) Idea why this could be?
hello there, my yaapu can't display the 10 sensors on the screen. what could i have set wrong? thank you so much for your video
I have a newly prepared Radimaster TX16S radio. I found your guide to functional maps and it's great great. But I ran into a problem Gmapcatcher is not loading any maps. I tried older versions and all maps that can be displayed. Please is there any solution or replacement for Gmapcatcher? Thanks for the reply
I also have only the GPS position indicated, the other fields are empty.
I use frsky sensors only (GPS, vario and voltage).
I tried to edit yaapudev_sensors_maps.lua in CFG / examples, but I don't know :do the sensor numbers have to match the sensor numbers in the transmitter?
Hi, so only the map feature ist available for Inav ? It's not possible to switch between pages ? I got the maps working but need to display the other Telemetry Data coming from my R1 Receiver. How to do this ? Thanx for this great Video . And greats from Germany #Teamcrashtrash
FYI Flight modes fix if not matching Mission Planner: On radio > SYS button (system) > SD-HC Card > SCRIPTS > “menu.lua” (execute script) > enable px4 flightmodes = NO (default is Yes)
Hi, can you please make a video on how to display battery voltage on yaapu main screen? Thanks
After 2 days working on it, finally is working with Betaflight, crossfire quad, but the only thing is that in gmaps I can not get other than map, no terrain maps. anyone knows the answer?
👍
Hi how are you?
Please let me know if possible where I can decrease the "refresh" time of telemetry in frsky taranis x9 lite?
Can this work with Ardupilot / Xfire?
Jumper t18 , Reciever jumper R8 , Wing FC 10 dof can to use telemetry with yaapu ?
4 year old video but hoping you still watch comments and might have a suggestion. Any idea why yaapu doesn't recognize my telemetry data even though telemetry values are populated? I was hopeful this video is what I was looking for but it didn't get into how to get the script to see my data. I'm using a Spektrum receiver and the new SkyID gps/telemetry module that populates my telemetry with gps speed, altitude, coordinates, etc. but while running the script it just says "no telemetry data" and "NO GPS" even though my GPS coordinates do appear on the script. That's really the only thing that does show up. I know yaapu wasn't specifically written for what I'm trying to do with it but figured it should see it as long as the telemetry values are there. Thoughts?
I asked on the EdgeTX Discord server and was told "Yaapu Lua telemetry widget works with FrSky passthrough and CRSF passthrough".
You really know computer stuff. Learning a bunch watching your vids. Thanks man. Wonder if you live in Denver? I live up the road from there. In Glenwood. Peace out man.
I need help with trying to get this working I gave a r9m and r9sx I see rssi I have a gps ... I was thinking can I add a flight controller and if so how to I add the tyro? And connect it
Very nice and understanding video.
Nice job!
1 question if i fly in 3 different locations do i have to load maps every time i switch location?
no you can have has may tiles as your SD card can handle. I actually upgraded my SD card to one with more storage so I never have to worry about space and i can load as many as i want.
@@builtfromhome9207 thanks sound like a good deal if i can load all the maps of the spot's i fly
@@vasilisfellouzis Yep thats what I do!
@@builtfromhome9207 could you show us how to load all the tiles for different site and put them on the jumper
Hey how are u . OK for some reason that I don't know I'm trying to download the firmware on my radio but I think I'm doing a mistake so I keep watching videos on how to to see if something click in my head lol .
Does this work on inav to or only for ardu ?
Wow, friggin wow. And some people wonder why we want an Open Source ecosystem.
No Map data :( Does it work with ardupilot?
Hello and thank you for posting this!!! I am trying to get this to work on my T16 (openTX 2.3.7, Matek 405Wing running Inav 2.4.0) I've tried following your vid twice and I am not able to get it working. It looks like the radio is not seeing/processing the map tiles.... can you comment on any gotchas, or issues you might be aware of that may cause this problem... I have another SD card configured with Inav Telemetry Widget and it perfectly...
I found the problem at least try, change the directory where you downlod the maps. other than the default in the Mapcatcher.
Thanks for the map setup but I only get the GPS to work with Yaapu, any other sensor isn't shown, and on the standard Yaapu widget it says no telemetry data?
Same here bro I here you need a flight controller with GPS in it look up tyro
Have you been able to solve the problem, I can't get any further here.
Hi: i got the T16 Pro i've have set it up only by watching all your Vid's but this last setup vid doesn't have any telem on it and i can't get any other of the widgets it wiped them all out, is this correct or did i do something wrong? the wiki doesn't explain how to add the telem values to the screen (at least not that i can understand like your vid's are you planning on another vid to do the telem values soon) i don't fly any of my drones without at least the voltages or should i just revert back to your previous setup. Thanks B.K
Did you already have the telemetry scripts working? If you already have the mapping feature and telemetry setup using my previous video than this setup would not be necessary. This vidoe is for those using something other than mavlink and frsky. This new script is to be able to have the mapping features setup with different receivers/flight controllers. Like I explained at the beginning of my video you need to make sure you have the GPS sensor already receiving telemetry data and because this is different for every persons setup its not explained in the wiki. What FC/Receivers are you using? Are you able to see the GPS values?
@@builtfromhome9207 AAH OK sorry i misunderstood yes i did have it working so i should wipe out and re-do what i had alright thanks.B.k
imagemajick is an old unix utlil and is pronounced image (as in the picture) magic, as in it does magic on images.
another point u said to copy 0,1&2, should be 0, -1 & -2
How to remove name street?
I appreciated this video and would love to have these maps, I been following this but cant even get started using your links i downloaded the map cacher but the other 2 links not there, the image magic and map folder template i dont know were to find these links. what am i missing here?
imagemagick.org/script/download.php for the imagemagick. Other file is also actually in the Yaapu folder on the radio to be copied to
Thanks for responding but don't need the link because with the new gmapcatcher maps are automatically resized, the maps look great on the radiomaster tx16s but I can't get any telemetry with maps, I running crossfire micro tx v2 and nano receiver and I think is reason telemetry not working, any help would be appreciated Thanks
Two things, first of all, the Tim in the comments is a spam bot and not a real person, that account is spamming hundreds of channels at the moment.
Secondly, do you know if its possible to get this new version working with flysky RX's? I have the older version of yaapu working on the R9 system using the inverter and mavlink pass though but 98% of my craft are running flysky iA6B RX's and it would be great if I could get it running on those too!
My understanding is whats on the github page "It supports Ardupilot, iNAV, Crossfire and whatever FC or firmware that can send GPS info to OpenTX" So if your able to send Telemetry to your openTX radio and have those values displayed there as shown and explained in my video then yes it should work. However I have not used a flysky RX so I cant say from personal experience. Hope that helps.
@@builtfromhome9207 flysky rx's have telem and all supported sensors like temp, rpm, altitude ect ect will show as they should on the t16 but i was not aware of any way to feed telem from another source into the rx for transmission and although flysky put support for a GPS module into the RX firmware and into some of their tx's, it seems they never actually made the sensor itself lol .
done some research and there is a workaround, using an arduino micro or nano you can emulate ibus sensors from mavlink telemetry :)
I haven't tried it yet but it looks promising, because the RX supports the non existent GPS module flysky never made, it can be emulated and 'should' feed the t16 the required data but it will be without compass data so no heading triangle if it does work.
Version 0.8.10 of gmapcatcher automatically resizes the tiles to 100x100 so you don't have the do this manually anymore.
So just run gmapcatcher DL your tiles then copy over sat tiles 100x100 to scripts on sd?
@@ChristopherF_1971 Exactly
@@avsaase that seems to work well but cant get telemetry on right side or bottom of screen not sure how to configure the Cfg file in lua editor
@@ChristopherF_1971 I'm sorry I can't help you because I don't have a compatible transmitter yet.
@@avsaase no worries, I've decided against this and will just leave my simple bluetooth to external devices for live maps that works very well. Plus the tiles on the transmitter are very low res and I'd have to keep updating tiles on different places I fly and I fly 20 to 35kms on most my flights which requires way to much space and honestly I can barely seen the map tiles. I'd much rather use my Android device with apps like Telemetry Viewer to access my telemetry and live map view. Thanks anyway.
