Two things pulled in from github.com/nationalparkservice/npmap5-plugins:
- A "Home" button (public/vendor/npmap-home-button/, NPS's own MapLibre
control) pinned to the app's CENTER/ZOOM, sitting top-left on the map. Now
that the URL hash permalink can open the map at any view, "current view"
and "the default view" aren't the same thing anymore, so a quick way back
to the default is worth having.
- npmap5-plugins bundles a newer, actively-maintained version of the same
NPS symbol-library already used for POI_ICONS (confirmed by its
maintainer to be the designated replacement for the older standalone
repo: nationalparkservice/npmap5-plugins#4), with a much larger icon
vocabulary and a simpler CC0 (public domain) license. All 25 icons
already in use came back byte-identical from the new source, so this
just repoints their attribution — but it also has icons the old repo
didn't: `forest` (POI_ICONS) is now the official "wilderness" pictogram
instead of hand-drawn, and three of the five previously icon-less
Services/Activities tags (wifi, mobile data coverage, winter/snow
camping) now have real icons too. Only bakery and vehicle wash still
have no NPS equivalent.
The Online/Offline sidebar icon was always shown, even on an install with
no data/offline.pmtiles — offering a choice that can't actually work.
LayerToggleControl#remove() removes the icon (and hides its panel) once the
existing /api/offline-tiles check confirms there's nothing to switch to; a
transient failure of that same-origin check leaves the switch as is rather
than guessing, since that's the request itself failing, not evidence
offline tiles are unavailable.
Panning/zooming now updates #map=<zoom>/<lat>/<lon> in the URL, and loading
a URL with one already opens at that view instead of the default center —
so copying the URL bar shares the exact spot someone's looking at, and a
page reload doesn't lose the current view either.
This is MapLibre GL JS's own built-in Hash control (hash: "map" on the Map
constructor) — it already does exactly this, replaceState and all, no
custom code needed.
Track properties gain activity_type (FIT: sport enum from the
session/sport message, Garmin's own table; GPX: <trk><type> passed
through as-is) alongside the existing distance/elevation/duration.
Clicking a track line now opens a bottom panel with a chart per
metric the track actually has (elevation always; speed/cadence/heart
rate only when present — FIT's record fields or GPX's device
extensions). TrackStats.build_profile computes cumulative distance
the same way for both formats so they're directly comparable. One
pointermove listener drives a synchronized crosshair across every
chart, a single tooltip listing all series, and a map marker at the
hovered point's position — hovering the chart shows where on the
track that moment was.
Clicking a LiveTrack session now fetches and draws its track (line +
latest position). Garmin's own API 403s any plain server-side request
(Cloudflare bot protection), so LiveTrackClient fetches the session
page instead and pulls the track out of the server-rendered data
embedded in it. The webhook now captures the session's token too,
since the id alone isn't enough to fetch anything.
A Gmail-watching Apps Script (documented in docs/deployment.adoc) posts
the session ID from each LiveTrack email to a new webhook, which stores
it in data/livetrack.json; a new sidebar panel lists what's been
received.
Remove osmand-style.js (the per-layer color-patching approach) and its
docs entirely — back to the plain OpenFreeMap "liberty" style online,
and protomaps-themes-base's stock theme offline as the base.
Offline maps previously had no text labels at all: the
protomaps-themes-base layers() call never passed a lang option, which
is required to include its label layers. Fixed, backed by vendored
Noto Sans Regular/Italic/Medium glyph PBFs (ranges 0-255 and 256-511
only — Basic Latin + Latin-1 Supplement + Latin Extended-A, enough for
accented Central European place names; other scripts won't render
offline). Verified against the actual offline.pmtiles vector layer
schema that the name/name:en/script fields this expects are present.
Also nudge a handful of OFFLINE_THEME color roles (background, water,
wood, buildings, the two road-importance tiers) towards the online
style's actual palette (sampled from its style JSON) so switching
Online/Offline doesn't look like two different apps — deliberately
partial, not the removed full recolor.
Restructure the map controls from MapLibre corner buttons into a left
sidebar of icons with flyouts/panels (radar, GPX, GNSS), matching
OsmAnd's layout more closely:
- Base map and GPX selection are now full-height side panels docked
next to the sidebar (not small dropdown flyouts or a right-docked
panel), opening/closing exclusively via a small shared event bus
(panels.js) so only one is ever open at a time.
- The GPX panel's upload/new-folder controls are now icon buttons in
the header instead of an always-visible dropzone and form; dragging
a GPX file onto the tree, a specific folder, or straight onto the
map itself all upload it.
- New: Maptool::GpsdClient (lib/maptool/gpsd_client.rb) streams live
GNSS fixes from a local gpsd daemon over Server-Sent Events
(/api/gnss/stream) to a marker on the map (public/js/gnss.js) — one
background gpsd connection shared by every browser tab.
- The online map style (public/js/osmand-style.js) is now styled to
resemble OsmAnd's own rendering, applied to both the online and
offline (PMTiles) styles.
Also adds a GeolocateControl (browser geolocation) next to the zoom
controls.
Upload GPX files into a folder hierarchy (traversal-safe path
resolution against the store root), browse them in a tree panel, and
toggle each one's waypoints/tracks on the map. Waypoints render as
clickable points showing name, description and time; bare URLs in the
description are turned into safe links. GPX layers survive switching
between the Online/Offline base map, same as the radar overlay.
Adds rexml as an explicit dependency — it moved to a bundled gem in
this Ruby version and isn't picked up by Bundler otherwise.
Replace Leaflet/raster tiles with MapLibre GL JS: an online OpenFreeMap
style and an offline style built from a local PMTiles archive via
pmtiles.js and protomaps-themes-base (no glyphs/labels offline by
design, see docs/architecture.adoc). Frontend libraries are vendored
locally rather than loaded from a CDN so the app keeps working with no
internet access.
Also add an animated RainViewer precipitation radar overlay (toggle,
play/pause, scrub slider), matching the default time window of the
weather-radar-card Home Assistant integration.
