<h1>Map Feature Plugin</h1>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Introduction</h2>
|
|
|
|
The Map Feature plugin displays a world map. It can display street maps, satellite imagery as well as custom map types.
|
|
On top of this, it can plot data from other plugins, such as:
|
|
|
|
* APRS symbols from the APRS Feature,
|
|
* Aircraft from the ADS-B Demodulator,
|
|
* Ships from the AIS Demodulator,
|
|
* Satellites from the Satellite Tracker,
|
|
* The Sun, Moon and Stars from the Star Tracker,
|
|
* Beacons based on the IARU Region 1 beacon database.
|
|
|
|
It can also create tracks showing the path aircraft, ships and APRS objects have taken, as well as predicted paths for satellites.
|
|

<h2>Interface</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3>1: Find</h3>
|
|
|
|
To centre the map on an object or location, enter:
|
|
|
|
* An object name.
|
|
* Latitude and longitude. This can be in decimal degrees (E.g: -23.666413, -46.573550) or degrees, minutes and seconds (E.g: 50°40'46.461"N 95°48'26.533"W or 33d51m54.5148sS 151d12m35.6400sE).
|
|
* A Maidenhead locator (E.g: IO86av).
|
|
* An address (E.g: St Katharine's & Wapping, London EC3N 4AB)
|
|
|
|
<h3>2: Map Type</h3>
|
|
|
|
Allows you to select a map type. The available types will depend upon the Map provider
|
|
selected under Display Settings (7).
|
|
|
|
<h3>3: Maidenhead locator conversion</h3>
|
|
|
|
When checked, opens the Maidenhead locator converter dialog, which allows conversion between addresses, latitude and longitude and Maidenhead locators.
|
|
|
|
<h3>4: Display Beacon dialog</h3>
|
|
|
|
When clicked, opens the Beacon dialog. Initially, no beacons will be listed. To download the IARU Region 1 beacon list, click the download button in the top right.
|
|
The beacons will then be displayed in the table and on the map.
|
|
|
|
* Double clicking in a cell in the beacon table in the Callsign or Location columns, will centre the map on that beacon.
|
|
* Double clicking on the Frequency column will set the Device center frequency.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3>5: Display Names</h3>
|
|
|
|
When checked, names of objects are displayed in a bubble next to each object.
|
|
|
|
<h3>6: Display tracks for selected object</h3>
|
|
|
|
When checked, displays the track (taken or predicted) for the selected object.
|
|
|
|
<h3>7: Display tracks for all objects</h3>
|
|
|
|
When checked, displays the track (taken or predicted) for the all objects.
|
|
|
|
<h3>8: Delete</h3>
|
|
|
|
When clicked, all items will be deleted from the map.
|
|
|
|
<h3>9: Display settings</h3>
|
|
|
|
When clicked, opens the Map Display Settings dialog, which allows setting:
|
|
|
|
* Which data the Map will display.
|
|
* The colour of the taken and predicted tracks.
|
|
* Which Map provider will be used to source the map image.
|
|
|
|
In order to display Mapbox maps, you will need to enter an API Key. A key can be obtained by registering at: http://www.mapbox.com/
|
|
Note that it is not currently possible to support entering an API Key for Open Street Maps, in order to remove the watermarks.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Map</h3>
|
|
|
|
The map displays objects reported by other SDRangel channels and features, as well as beacon locations.
|
|
|
|
* The "Home" antenna location is placed according to My Position set under the Preferences > My Position menu. The position is only updated when the Map plugin is first opened.
|
|
* To pan around the map, click the left mouse button and drag. To zoom in or out, use the mouse scroll wheel.
|
|
* Single clicking on an object in the map will display a text bubble with additional information about the object.
|
|
* Right clicking on a object will open a context menu, which allows:
|
|
* To set an object as the target. The target object will have its azimuth and elevation displayed in the text bubble and sent to the Rotator Controller feature.
|
|
* Setting the Device center frequency to the first frequency found in the text bubble for the object.
|
|
* Changing the order in which the objects are drawn, which can help to cycle through multiple objects that are at the same location on the map.

<h2>API</h2>
|
|
|
|
Full details of the API can be found in the Swagger documentation. Here is a quick example of how to centre the map on an object from the command line:
|
|
|
|
curl -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:8091/sdrangel/featureset/0/feature/0/actions" -d '{"featureType": "Map", "MapActions": { "find": "M7RCE" }}'
|
|
|
|
And to centre the map at a particular latitude and longitude:
|
|
|
|
curl -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:8091/sdrangel/featureset/0/feature/0/actions" -d '{"featureType": "Map", "MapActions": { "find": "51.2 0.0" }}'
