for this specific nightly build.
The compilation build number from the source repository.
Nightly software updates like this build ensure that web map connection scripts remain fully operational despite continuous API changes from global map providers. Key Technical Enhancements in Build 250114
SAS.Planet is a free, open-source Geographic Information System (GIS) software. Its primary function is to serve as a powerful viewer and downloader for a vast array of online map sources, allowing you to save these maps for offline use. Unlike Google Earth or Google Maps, which are primarily online browsers, SAS.Planet is built to give you full control over the data. Once you download map tiles, they are stored in a local cache on your computer, allowing you to view them offline. sasplanetnightly25011410738x647z upd
Rename your old SASPlanet.exe to something like SASPlanet_old.exe before adding new files so you can revert if the build is buggy. 🛠️ Common Troubleshooting
: Map providers like Google Maps, Bing, and Esri frequently change their URL structures or access tokens. Nightly updates contain the script fixes needed to prevent "HTTP 404" or "Tile Not Found" errors.
Mapping service API changed. Fix: Download a newer nightly build (within 1-2 weeks of the service change). Workaround: Switch to a different map source temporarily. for this specific nightly build
The exact technical string refers to a highly specific software release string mapping to the January 14, 2025 ( 250114 ) 64-bit ( x64 ) Nightly Build update ( upd ) of SAS.Planet . SAS.Planet is a popular, free, open-source Geographic Information System (GIS) application designed to view, cache, and download high-resolution satellite imagery and conventional map tiles from mapping services. Because map service API protocols change frequently, keeping up with these nightly builds or update patches ( upd ) is crucial for maintaining functional map layers.
For advanced users, the most powerful method is to use the official automated build script directly from the project's GitHub repository, as outlined in the sas.nightly project:
| Part | Likely Meaning | |------|----------------| | sasplanet | Base software | | nightly | Unstable / bleeding-edge build (not a stable release) | | 250114 | Possibly date: (YYMMDD) — though 2025 is future relative to current knowledge, so this may be mis-typed or a custom build tag | | 10738x647z | Likely an internal build ID, revision number, or hash | | upd | "Update" — may be an incremental patch over a previous install | Key Technical Enhancements in Build 250114 SAS
