Map Tiles

Ripple devices like the LilyGo T-Deck and T-Lora Pager have the ability to display known repeaters and message paths on a map. Unfortunately, the map data is not provided as part of the firmware and generating them yourself can be difficult and take a lot of time. I have provided a set of map tiles ready to use with the Ripple devices.

Provided tile set

The tiles provided have high-detail maps of the Netherlands and medium-detail maps of Europe. They were generated from the OpenStreetMap source and all credit and rights for these map tiles belong to them.

The provided tiles were generated in 2026-02. Since navigation is not the purpose of these devices, I will not update the tiles very often.

A short English TL;DR: Download sdcard_image.zip or tiles.zip depending on how you want to copy the files. The sdcard_image.zip file contains a file that you can write to an sd card (16gb or larger) using a tool like Rufus. This process takes a few minutes but causes all existing data on your sd card to be deleted. The tiles.zip file contains the individual tiles and you can copy these to your sd card like you would copy any other file. The downsite is that this will take multiple hours to complete. There are 950.000 small files and writing a large amount of small files is very slow, even on very fast sd cards.
