R Leaflet Offline Map Tiles Not Loading

Question

I need help trying to figure out why my leaflet map using locally saved map tiles isn\'t working correctly. I\'m trying to recreate the example from here to create a leaflet

Answer 1

You were almost there. You can run the server in daemon mode, with servr::httd(port = 8000, daemon = TRUE):

# Set the working folder
setwd("C:/Users/OTAD USER/Documents")

# Load the tiles in working_folder/mapTiles/OSM/
library(RgoogleMaps)
for (zoom in 10:16)
  GetMapTiles("Washington Square Park;NY", zoom = zoom,
              nTiles = round(c(20,20)/(17-zoom)))

# Start serving working folder on port 8000 in demon mode
deamon_id <- servr::httd(port = 8000, daemon = TRUE)

# Plot with leaflet
library(leaflet)
m = leaflet() %>% 
  addTiles( urlTemplate = "http:/localhost:8000/mapTiles/OSM/{z}_{x}_{y}.png")
m = m %>% leaflet::setView(-73.99733, 40.73082 , zoom = 16)
m = m %>% leaflet::addMarkers(-73.99733, 40.73082 )
m

# Stop serving
servr::daemon_stop(deamon_id)
