I’m looking for funding to be able to implement the latest versions of APP6 and 2525 in milsymbol. There are a lot of big projects using milsymbol, so hopefully someone might step up. github.com/spatialillusions/…

Support for 2525E1 and APP6Ev2 update (request for funding) · Issue #352 · spatialillusions/milsy...

Funding or help is wanted for updating the library with the latest versions of the standards https://quicksearch.dla.mil/qsDocDetails.aspx?ident_number=114934 https://nso.nato.int/nso/nsdd/main/sta...

Some people want their e-ink weather station displayed as much information as possible, I took a different approach.

MapLibre 6.15 now supports maps in any projection. That is actually quite exciting news.

Any other graphic you need for your PowerPoint?

One step closer to dynamic lines and other graphics, and still without making it hard to handle lots of objects.

No, I’m still not creating a library for full support of drawing tactical graphics, I’m just trying to make military PowerPoint’s look even better. After many, many years of thinking, I think I finally figured out how to do complex lines in a good way.

What we are seeing in Paris might happen on a much larger scale in the future if large number of people gets pushed out of the job market by AI. I hope that isn’t the case, but it is a scenario we must consider.

In the next version you will be able to both export and import parts of larger orbats. ☺️

One of the most wished for features, to be able to select and change properties on multiple features.

Support for @battle_order color palette will be included in the upcoming 2.11.1 release.
Måns@spatialillusionOct 3
Custom color picker implemented. Maybe #ORBATboys wants me to add a @battle_order color palette…

🇺🇦Ukrainian Groupings and Corps sectors - a basic guide This thread is an introduction to 🇺🇦Ukrainian “Force Groupings” and Corps deployments as of late summer 2026. We have noticed several misconceptions on the topic, shared by analysts and the “broader public” alike. Our information is exclusively based on open sources and observation of publicly available data. ❗️Before we begin, a fundamental notion must be clear: at the moment, the corps headquarters and their organic brigades should be treated separately. With a few exceptions, most corps do not have all their brigades in their assigned sector (and many brigades are subordinated to corps they do not organically belong to).

PowerPoint mike drop. 🎤 My goal of making any Staff Officer able to make stunning images for their presentations has been reached.

Things happened and I implemented a nice way to add good looking numbered points to the map. (With magic auto numbering.) Also created a new mapbundle with the nice presentation maps I made in the beginning of the weekend. This looks so good! 🤩

Today is a no-coding day, and obviously I just realize how I could make my geocoding files load much faster and get rid of all limitations.

Milsymbol was created because I was frustrated over ugly powerpoints, I think I have reach my goal of making better looking powerpoints now. ☺️

Försvarsmakten: Vi måste bli mer agila och ta till oss mer snabb innovation! Försvarsmakten: Vi kan inte köpa något från ett litet bolag för vi vet ju inte hur det kommer bli med underhåll och support de kommande 10 åren. Båda sakerna sägs på samma möte…

Now play “Should I Stay or Should I Go" by The Clash. The Hexachrone integration in Battle Staff Tools is quite amazing.
Måns@spatialillusionOct 3
First implementation of Hexachrone in BattleStaffTools! Everything done in browser, the 2Gb hexgraph with world coverage can be read from a local file or from a server. Units can have custom max speeds and everything is data driven.

GPT helped me configure a new zoomable map for information overlays, and now I have to add the possibility to add those fancy numbered points to BattleStaffTools…

If someone sends a DM with a structure similar to this, there can be a larger number of colors, I will add it.
