Thank you to GolfCharlie and Claude Code for fixing the code to work with the newly changed FAA API! They have saved a lot of time. A new image has been created and will be uploaded today and available later tonight. If you don't want or need the image, you can visit https://github.com/markyharris/livesectional and incorporate the changes into your board now.

There has been another change to the FAA API which has again broke the map. We are currently working on this. Check back for fix. If you have the fix please post it. - Mark
ok thanks.
I tried to just click on the Upgrade menu item on the GUI, it gave me this screen and when I reboot the Pi, it will load the op sys, but not the Live Sectional. I can rebuild from scratch, but wondered if I did something wrong. It happen
twice.
That's a new one. I'm sorry for this. It looks like web site is refusing a request. Please give it some time and retry. When I try it, it seems to work properly. I've not heard of anyone else seeing this issue.
If you are handy with code, I can tell you what routine to comment out without issue, so let me know if you would like to try that. - Mark
If you would like to comment out this routine, goto the cmd line and enter;
sudo nano -c /NeoSectional/webapp.py
Then scroll down to around line 1400 (give or take) and locate these lines;
def checkforupdate():
global update_vers
get_loc()
print(loc) # debug
Comment out the last 2 lines, so it looks like this;
def checkforupdate():
global update_vers
# get_loc()
# print(loc) # debug
Then reboot and then retry the update. - Mark
.... story of my life, I have a knack for code doing things to me. (not a good thing). I'll try it tomorrow. thanks
Mark, just wanted to give you more information on what I discovered. I built a Pi 4 running Pi Hole to filter out allot of the advertisements on my network. Sometimes it mistakes legitimate web sites as ads. This morning, I tried a reboot Live Sectional again, still didn't work, then I disabled Pi Hole for a bit and rebooted, Worked fine. So I think that was my issue and why you haven't seen it before.
Thanks
Chuck
That's good to know. Thanks for the update. - Mark
