Net::HTTP's plain #get loads the whole response body before returning —
fine for the small JSON manifests elsewhere in this file, but a real risk
for a multi-GB country .osm.pbf (Germany, Russia, ...). Streams to disk
via read_body instead.
Offline tiles were built from Protomaps' own basemap schema, needing a
completely separate hand-tuned theme (protomaps-themes-base + OFFLINE_THEME)
from the online Liberty style's ONLINE_STYLE_PATCH — the two could never be
made to match exactly no matter how much either side got tuned (today's
session found and fixed several mismatches: building opacity, park
boundaries, road casings, road widths).
Offline.pmtiles is now built with Planetiler's default OpenMapTiles profile
against Geofabrik per-country OSM extracts (osmium-merged when more than one
country is selected), the same vector schema Liberty already expects.
offlineStyle() now clones the same Liberty JSON (vendored as a local
snapshot for reliability with no internet) and applies the identical
ONLINE_STYLE_PATCH, just repointed at local PMTiles/glyphs/sprite — one
palette instead of two, correct on both sides by construction.
Also vendors Liberty's icon sprite for the first time (offline had none
before), adds Java/osmium-tool/planetiler.jar to the Docker image, and
removes the now-unused protomaps-themes-base dependency and the
theme-comparison debug page that found today's bugs.
Renders the bare protomaps-themes-base themes next to the app's actual
offline/online styles (each real app instance, embedded), with pan/zoom
kept in sync via the existing URL-hash mechanism, to make it easy to see
where the hand-tuned offline palette diverges from the online one.
Emoji flags are font glyphs, not shapes — no way to resize, border, or
tone them down to fit this app's controlled, hand-drawn-icon look
(same reasoning the topbar readout already settled earlier this
session). Vendored flag-icons' pre-cropped square SVGs (MIT) instead,
framed in a small rounded-square badge — the same convention
icons.js's MAP_MARKER_ICON already uses for framing a glyph, not a new
visual language.
The .pmtiles files themselves carry no record of what upstream
snapshot they came from — only a local mtime. Each successful build
now writes a small sidecar (offline.pmtiles.meta.json: the Protomaps
build date used; terrain.pmtiles.meta.json: the Mapterhorn source
names/md5sums) recording that, surfaced in the panel next to the
existing size/updated line.
New GET .../check-update routes compare the recorded build against
the live upstream index/manifest — true/false/null, null meaning
"don't know" (no local build yet, or the check itself failed) rather
than a false "no". Kept separate from the plain status endpoints
(which map.js's own topbar dot hits on every page load) since this
one reaches an external service; only called once when the Offline
data panel is actually opened.
Also: flag emoji next to each country in the picker (derived from the
ISO code via Unicode regional indicators, no image assets needed).
Replaces "regenerate for the current viewport" with what Locus/OsmAnd-
style apps give you: tick which countries you want offline (a Natural
Earth-derived checklist, public domain, vendored), Apply rebuilds
offline.pmtiles/terrain.pmtiles to cover the whole selection at once.
Multiple regions can be offline simultaneously (e.g. Slovakia + Austria
for a trip that crosses the border) — the selection itself is the
source of truth (data/offline_regions.json), not a set of per-country
files, so "remove a country" and "refresh a country" are both just
"change the selection, then Apply."
Confirmed against go-pmtiles' own source (not just its docs) before
committing to this shape: `extract --region=<geojson>` treats a
FeatureCollection's features as their union already (no dissolve/union
math needed on our side — pmtiles/region.go's UnmarshalRegion just
concatenates every feature's rings), and `merge` hard-errors on any
overlapping tile id between inputs (merge.go's prepareInputs). That
second fact rules out "extract each country separately, merge them
all" — adjacent countries' region-extracts would share border tiles,
since extraction copies whole tiles rather than clipping vector
content to the polygon. The actual fix: extract per *source archive*
(the Protomaps build, each intersecting Mapterhorn chunk), each call
covering the whole current selection via one --region= file — the
terrain pipeline already extracted-then-merged per source this way, it
just needed a multi-country region instead of a single bbox.
Mapterhorn (mapterhorn.com, Protomaps-affiliated) publishes pre-built
Terrarium-encoded terrain as PMTiles: a global planet.pmtiles (z0-12)
plus ~450 regional chunks (z13+). Same pmtiles extract --bbox=...
mechanism offline.pmtiles already uses, just against their files —
confirmed live against their real manifest and the documented
Interlaken example. Replaces fetching every individual tile ourselves
(even after this session's earlier concurrency fix, still tens of
minutes for a real region) with 1-3 extract calls plus a merge when
the bbox spans more than one chunk: seconds, not minutes.
Removes CONCURRENT_TILE_FETCHES, write_terrarium_mbtiles, tile_range,
lng/lat_to_tile_x/y, fetch_terrarium_tile, and the sqlite3 gem
entirely — none of it is needed once the tiles arrive pre-packaged.
dem.js's point-elevation lookup (shadow.js's terrain-shadow overlay)
hardcoded a 256px PNG tile assumption that Mapterhorn's 512px WebP
tiles would have silently broken — now reads the actually-decoded
tile's own size and mime type instead of assuming either.
Serial fetches (no connection reuse) measured ~650ms/tile, almost all
TCP+TLS handshake — a real bbox at z0..15 is tens of thousands of
tiles, so this was hours for a modest region. Now: 16 worker threads
share a queue (I/O-bound, so the GVL doesn't get in the way), each
keeping its own persistent connection across every tile it fetches.
Measured live against the real Terrarium source: ~40ms/tile, ~16x
faster.
write_terrarium_mbtiles's SQLite writes and progress updates stay on
one thread (draining a results Queue the workers feed), so nothing
needed its own locking beyond the two Queues themselves.
terrain.pmtiles can take minutes (tiles fetched one at a time) with no
way to tell a slow build from a stuck one. Now reports tiles_done/
tiles_total into the same status Hash the frontend already polls, and
the panel shows elapsed time (both files) plus tile counts (terrain
only) so the numbers visibly move every ~3s poll instead of sitting on
one static string.
The "Regenerate for current view" build was failing in production with
"could not run 'pmtiles'" — go-pmtiles was never actually installed
anywhere, just documented as something a developer runs by hand
locally (docs/development.adoc). Installs the static Linux binary from
go-pmtiles' own GitHub releases, architecture-matched via dpkg rather
than hardcoded amd64.
Verified the exact download/extract/exec sequence end-to-end outside
Docker (no daemon available in this sandbox to run a real build).
A logged-in user can now trigger, from a new "Offline data" sidebar
panel, what was previously a fully manual go-pmtiles workflow
(docs/development.adoc): regenerate either file for the current map
viewport, no area-picker (same "visible area is the area" convention
the Overpass POI plugin already uses).
- lib/maptool/pmtiles_builder.rb: two independent background jobs
(Thread + Mutex-guarded status Hash, same shape as app.rb's own GNSS
poller), each writing to a .tmp path and atomically renaming into
place so a build never serves a partially-written file mid-run.
offline.pmtiles is a single `pmtiles extract` against Protomaps'
public daily basemap build (byte-range extraction, not a full
~120GB download). terrain.pmtiles has no equivalent public
Terrarium-encoded archive to extract from, so it fetches individual
Terrarium tiles itself, packs them into an intermediate MBTiles
(new sqlite3 gem), then the same `pmtiles convert`.
- 4 new app.rb routes (POST .../build, GET .../build-status) plus
size/mtime added to the existing availability endpoints.
- public/js/offline_data.js: new sidebar panel, polling build-status
the same self-rescheduling-setTimeout shape livetrack.js already
uses for its own refresh loop.
- Both network-heavy pieces (the Protomaps build index, per-tile
fetches) are injectable, so test/test_pmtiles_builder.rb exercises
the actual build pipeline against a fake `pmtiles` binary without
hitting a real network, matching this suite's existing
keep-it-offline convention for external services.
5th Overlays item, generated client-side from the same online Terrarium
DEM tiles Terrain shading already fetches (no offline fallback — the
plugin's DemSource has no public hook to route through the pmtiles://
protocol the offline basemap uses, so this quietly renders nothing
without a network, same as Radar/the Wikipedia layer).
A plain vector source/layer under MapLibre's own tile lifecycle, no
manual refetch-on-move code needed. Thresholds are the plugin's own
generic starting point, not yet tuned against real terrain. Labels
skipped for now (font-name matching across the online/offline styles'
own glyph sets adds real risk for a nice-to-have, not the actual ask).
Top-left map control (topmost, above Home/zoom) with a text input:
"lat, lng" is parsed and jumped to directly (same plain-text shape the
topbar's coordinate readout already copies to the clipboard), anything
else is geocoded via Nominatim — OSM's own geocoder, free, no API key,
matching the online basemap's own OSM-derived style. Online only, same
story as this app's other non-basemap online features (Radar, the
Wikipedia layer) — no offline geocoding index to fall back to.
Self-hosted Bold woff2 only (the one weight .topbar__brand renders at)
under public/vendor/national-park-typeface/ — a router-carved-signage
display face for the "MAPTOOL" heading, matching the uppercase/
letter-spaced treatment it already had. Everything else stays on the
system font stack; this is a wordmark swap, not a body-text one.
docs/nps-resources.adoc/third-party-notices.adoc updated to record it.
WAYPOINT_ICON (coords) and PENDING_ICON (countdown) reused as-is; two new
hand-drawn SUNRISE_ICON/SUNSET_ICON since NPS's symbol set has no match —
same currentColor stroke style as the rest of icons.js, so they render
monochrome in the dark topbar rather than colored emoji.
sun.js's formatSunInfo now returns {sunrise, sunset, countdown} instead of
one joined string, so map.js can place its own icon in front of each
piece instead of the module owning any markup.
Same Open-Meteo call and cache as the daily outlook, just with an hourly
field added — a rolling window from now rather than "rest of today", so
it doesn't shrink to nothing right before midnight.
Shades the visible map by whether each point is currently blocked from
the sun by surrounding terrain (shademap.app-style), computed fully
offline via the same Terrarium DEM tiles the Terrain shading layer
already renders, plus this session's sun-position math and Radar's
checkbox+expandable UI shape.
dem.js pulls elevation-at-a-point out on its own since TODO.adoc's
slope readout and solar calculator will need the same lookup.
Both used to be their own separate sidebar icons; neither has
anything to manage beyond on/off, same as Wikipedia already got its
own Overlays entry for. Terrain shading is a plain checkbox item now.
Radar keeps its scrub/forecast controls, but behind an explicit
expand (clicking its name), separate from the checkbox — checking it
on shouldn't force the details open, and expanding to scrub/check the
forecast shouldn't also flip the layer on.
Both controls now build their own <li> (RadarControl.mount(li),
HillshadeControl.mount(li) — the latter moved into overlays.js
entirely, it has no reason to live in map.js once it's not building
its own sidebar icon) rather than a whole sidebar-item + flyout the
way they used to.
Also gave each Overlays item a leading icon: Wikipedia and Terrain
shading reuse existing NPS pictograms (WIKI_ICON, and WILDERNESS_ICON
newly exported from icons.js's forest entry — NPS has no dedicated
mountain/terrain glyph, wilderness-22.svg is the closest honest
match). Radar's is hand-drawn (a rain cloud) since NPS's set has
nothing weather-related to reuse.
The topbar's coordinate display was plain decimal degrees ("48.14611,
17.17722") — switched to DMS (48°08'46"N 17°10'38"E), the more
GPS-unit-like format Locus Pro itself uses, and made it click-to-copy
(plain decimal, since that's what pastes cleanly into another map/GPS
app — not the DMS text actually shown).
Added sunrise/sunset + a countdown to whichever's next, for the same
map-center point the coordinates already describe. Vendored SunCalc
(BSD-2-Clause, github.com/mourner/suncalc) rather than hand-rolling
the astronomical math — small, dependency-free, and correctness here
has real pitfalls (equation of time, refraction, polar day/night) a
first-pass reimplementation would risk getting subtly wrong.
Also added a test asserting every public/js/*.js module has a
versioned importmap entry in layout.erb — caught that overlays.js
(from the previous commit) was missing one, which would have quietly
skipped ASSET_VERSION's cache-busting for that file after every
deploy.
Wikipedia doesn't belong inside "Tracks & Points" — that panel is for
files you add/remove/reorder, while Wikipedia is a live layer with
nothing to manage, just on/off. Gave it its own sidebar panel
(#overlays-panel, same shell as LiveTrackPanelControl) instead, sized
to hold more such checklist-only layers later without a redesign.
Moved all the wiki layer logic out of GpxPanelControl into a new
OverlaysControl (public/js/overlays.js). svgToImageData/badgeImageId/
escapeHtml are now exported from gpx.js so it doesn't have to
reimplement them — the same three helpers a second overlay would also
need.
The old link only ever surfaced one nearby article at a time, buried
in whatever POI's popup you happened to open, and only for uploaded
files with a category. Replaced it with a standalone "Wikipedia"
toggle under the renamed "Tracks & Points" panel: enabling it adds a
live map layer that refetches GET /api/kiwix/nearby on every pan/zoom
and plots every nearby article as its own point.
kiwix-serve's own geo search never echoes back a result's coordinates
(confirmed live against the real production ZIM, both its HTML and
?format=xml output) — it only filters by distance from a point. So
Maptool::Kiwix.nearby fetches each matching article's own page too and
reads its <meta name="geo.position"> tag, which every geotagged
Wikipedia article carries. Tried parallelizing those per-article
fetches with threads first; measured no improvement against the real
ZIM (kiwix-serve appears to serialize requests regardless), so it
stayed sequential — ~1.6s for a 30-result page, fine for a
refetch-on-pan-end layer.
Clicking a point opens a small popup linking to the article (proxied
through the existing /kiwix/* passthrough). New WIKI_ICON (NPS's
bookstore-22.svg) marks these, kept out of POI_ICONS since that set
doubles as notes.js's icon-picker option list and this fixed-glyph
layer has no per-feature category to key off of.
- notes.js's ICON_LABELS wasn't extended for the shop_supermarket/
shop_convenience keys icons.js added — the note icon picker showed
the raw internal key as the title instead of a real label.
- Plugins.run mislabeled a malformed plugin.json as "plugin did not
print valid JSON" — a message written for bad script stdout, not a
bad manifest, since both paths shared one rescue.
- overpass_pois.rb's description_for joined raw OSM tag values with
"\n" — an operator/opening_hours tag with an embedded newline could
inject an extra line into the popup that gpx.js's formatDescription
(built for p4n2gpx's own well-formed lines) would render as its own
independent, legitimate-looking link. Tag values are stripped of
embedded newlines before joining.
TODO.adoc had this flagged: toggling a category off in the legend only
re-sliced the points source (_applyCategoryFilter), so a polygon or
line note (Measure's "Save as note") sharing that category stayed
visible. Added _linesByPath alongside the existing _pointsByPath,
tracked/cleaned up the same way, and reused for both the legend's
category scan and the filter's re-slice.
A failed run showed "Failed — see server log" regardless of why —
misleading, since a Plugins::RunError never actually reaches any log
(app.rb turns it straight into a 502 JSON response). Found this the
hard way debugging the p4n2gpx plugin, having to SSH in and reproduce
the run by hand each time just to see why it failed. Now shows the
response's actual error message (e.g. "plugin exited with status 1"),
wrapping instead of overflowing the flyout for a longer one.
Traced the plugin's "Login failed" error directly against
park4night.com: correct credentials still get rejected because the
login form is behind invisible reCAPTCHA, which only a real browser
ever satisfies. p4n2gpx.rb (outside this repo) now checks
P4N_SESSION_COOKIE first and uses it as-is, skipping the login POST
entirely — the cookie comes from an already-authenticated browser,
copied out by hand and refreshed when it expires. Wired the env var
through docker-compose.yaml and the deploy workflow's "Write .env"
step the same way as P4N_USER/P4N_PASSWORD.
data/plugins/p4n2gpx/ (outside git, see .gitignore) now holds a
plugin.json + run.rb wrapper around ../p4n2gpx/ruby/p4n2gpx.rb, so it
runs through the same --south/--west/--north/--east-in,
GeoJSON-on-stdout-out contract as the built-in overpass-pois plugin.
run.rb converts the requested bbox to the center+radius p4n2gpx.rb
itself expects, then reuses lib/maptool/gpx.rb to turn its .gpx output
into GeoJSON.
p4n2gpx.rb needs faraday-cookie_jar, which wasn't in the Gemfile yet
(faraday itself already was, transitively via oauth2) — added and
locked. Also wires P4N_USER/P4N_PASSWORD through docker-compose.yaml
and the deploy workflow's "Write .env" step, the same optional-secret
pattern as LIVETRACK_WEBHOOK_SECRET, since the container has no
browser for p4n2gpx.rb's Chrome-cookie auth fallback.
plugins/ ships baked into the image and gets wiped/replaced by the
checkout sync on every deploy (docs/deployment.adoc), so a private
plugin dropped there — the exact use case the plugin contract was
designed for — didn't survive a redeploy the way uploaded GPX/kiwix
data under data/ does.
Plugins.list/run now accept either one directory or an array, and
app.rb checks the built-in plugins/ plus data/plugins/ (already
covered by the existing ./data bind mount, no new volume needed).
Overpass categories now carry the same icon+color styling a p4n2gpx
waypoint gets, instead of falling back to gpx.js's plain red marker,
plus a popup description built from opening_hours/operator/website
tags. Supermarket/convenience store reuse NPS's generic store glyph,
the only honest match in that icon set.
Each plugin run's saved filename now bakes in the area's center and a
timestamp, so repeated downloads for different areas land as separate,
identifiable files instead of overpass-pois.geojson/-1/-2/...
A plugin is a directory under plugins/ with a plugin.json manifest
({"label": "...", "command": "./run.sh"}) plus a script that reads
--south/--west/--north/--east and prints a GeoJSON FeatureCollection
to stdout (lib/maptool/plugins.rb) — that's the entire interface a
plugin needs to know about this app. The sidebar's new import icon
(logged in only, GET /api/plugins + POST /api/plugins/:name/run) lists
whatever's found and runs one for the current map viewport, saving its
output as a new .geojson file the same way an upload would be.
The point: a scraper for a site whose ToS forbids that (Park4Night,
iOverlander, Freecampsites) doesn't need to live in this public repo
to work here — its own directory just goes under plugins/ locally and
is never git add'ed, no special-casing needed anywhere.
plugins/overpass-pois wraps the existing rake overpass:pois query as
the first, in-repo, reference example of the contract.
Also fills in four modules (auth.js, locate.js, measure.js, notes.js)
missing from layout.erb's cache-busting importmap alongside adding
plugins.js's own entry — a pre-existing gap that meant they could keep
serving a stale cached copy across a deploy despite the importmap
existing specifically to prevent that.
Sinatra decodes a route's splat before handing it to the block, so an
article link like /kiwix/content/wikipedia/Dlhé_diely arrived as raw
UTF-8, not percent-encoded. URI#path= rejects that outright
(URI::InvalidComponentError) rather than escaping it, which .proxy's
rescue turned into a silent nil -> every article link 502'd, while the
search results page linking to them worked fine (its own path,
/kiwix/search, is plain ASCII).
map.priesol.net sits behind a reverse proxy that only forwards to
maptool itself, so the previous approach (publish kiwix-serve's port,
link the browser straight at it) had no address a real browser could
ever reach — not just a Docker-internal hostname as first assumed, but
no host/port combination at all works from outside.
GET /kiwix/* now proxies to kiwix-serve (Kiwix.proxy in
lib/maptool/kiwix.rb, a plain Net::HTTP passthrough), and the kiwix
service runs with --urlRootLocation=/kiwix so every link/asset it
emits already carries that same prefix and needs no rewriting
(confirmed against libkiwix/internalServer.cpp, which strips this
exact prefix off incoming requests). Drops the port-publishing
approach from the previous commit entirely.
- "Nearby on Wikipedia" linked to KIWIX_URL, a Docker-internal hostname
(http://kiwix:8080) no real browser can resolve. Split it: KIWIX_URL
stays server-side-only for the reachability check, and the link
itself is built from KIWIX_PUBLIC_PORT (kiwix-serve's newly
published host port) plus whatever host the visitor already used to
reach maptool — works regardless of which hostname/IP that is.
- The Save button went white on hover in GTK-themed Chrome: the
browser's native button skin was painting over the custom
background because appearance wasn't reset.
- The map preview marker for a pending note always showed a plain red
pin no matter which icon was picked in the form. NoteSaveForm now
reports icon changes via onIconChange so NotesControl can update the
marker's glyph live.
- Saving a note (or a Measure "Save as note") left the new/grown
.geojson file unchecked and invisible until manually toggled on.
notifyGpxStoreChanged now carries the affected path so
GpxPanelControl auto-shows it.
docker-compose's build context resolves relative to the symlink's own
directory (/srv/podman/maptool/), same as volume paths — but the
checkout now lives one level down in build/, so "build: ." pointed at
the wrong place and compose up --build failed outright looking for a
Dockerfile that isn't there. Point it at ./build instead.
Also drop kiwix's explicit --port=8080: the image's own start.sh
already prepends its default --port=8080 before appending the command
array, so passing it again produced "Unexpected argument" and the
container never started.
Both applied directly to production to restore service, verified via
docker-compose config + live health checks.
Sources now sync into /srv/podman/maptool/build/ (wiped and fully
replaced every deploy, nothing in it needs preserving) instead of
directly into /srv/podman/maptool/ itself, where data/ and .env also
live — the old sync step had to specifically skip data/ by name to
avoid wiping it; this way there's nothing to skip.
docker-compose.yaml is symlinked (ln -sf, relative target) from
/srv/podman/maptool/ up to build/ — both for a human to still find it
at the top, and because that symlink's own location, not build/, is
what compose resolves ./data and .env's directory against. No changes
to docker-compose.yaml or the podman-compose@.service systemd unit's
WorkingDirectory needed.
Verified against a full local dry run of the new sync step (copy into
a fake build/, symlink up, confirm pre-existing data/ survives) and
`docker-compose config` against the real docker-compose.yaml through
that symlink — both volume mounts (./data, the kiwix ZIM path)
resolved to the sibling data/ directory as intended, not build/data.
Bind-mounting data/kiwix/ (the directory) meant a symlink placed
inside it broke: the container has to resolve that symlink itself,
in its own filesystem, where the host path it points to doesn't
exist. Binding the exact data/kiwix/wikipedia.zim file path instead
resolves it on the host at mount time (plain mount(2) semantics), so
the real ZIM can live anywhere on the host without duplicating a
multi-GB file into this repo's data/ directory.
lib/maptool/kiwix.rb: a small reachability check for an external
kiwix-serve instance. GET /api/kiwix reports it (same optional-
integration pattern as offline-tiles/terrain-tiles); the frontend
adds a "Nearby on Wikipedia" link to a point's popup pointing straight
at kiwix-serve's own geo search (GET /search?latitude=&longitude=
&distance=, confirmed from libkiwix's actual source rather than
guessed) — linked to directly, not proxied/embedded, since it already
has a full search UI of its own.
docker-compose.yaml: new `kiwix` service (ghcr.io/kiwix/kiwix-serve)
on the default network, KIWIX_URL wired to reach it by service name.
The ZIM itself isn't part of the repo (large, self-contained archive)
— data/kiwix/ gitignored same as the *.pmtiles files, setup steps in
docs/development.adoc.
No kiwix-serve/ZIM available here to test end-to-end — verified the
app side against a stand-in local HTTP server (GET /api/kiwix flips
available correctly) and confirmed the generated popup link matches
the real geo-search query shape. docker-compose.yaml validated with
`docker-compose config`. Full test suite: 118 runs, 0 failures.
- The clicked location now stays marked (a plain maplibre-gl Marker,
removed on save/cancel/deactivate) while the note form is open —
before, nothing on the map showed where the pending note would land.
- POI_ICONS gains a dozen more symbols (water, dump station, toilets,
playground, viewpoint, swimming, fishing, climbing, hiking, …) via
Object.assign after PARK4NIGHT_TAGS' own icon constants are declared
(they're below POI_ICONS in the file, so the literal itself can't
reference them directly) — reused as real marker-badge glyphs, not
just PARK4NIGHT_TAGS' inline description-tag icons. NoteSaveForm
gets a picker grid for these, shown only for a Point note (a
Measure-drawn line/polygon has no one spot for a badge).
- Fixed: .notes-panel__save's blue background was losing to
.notes-panel__actions button's gray — same class-vs-class+element
specificity trap .gpx-panel__action[hidden] already has a comment
about elsewhere in this file. The button was never actually blue.
Verified live (properly simulating a logged-in session this time, via
Page.addScriptToEvaluateOnNewDocument rather than a post-load DOM
poke, since NotesControl's mount decision happens once, synchronously,
at page load): marker appears and clears correctly, 19 icons + "none"
render and select, Save renders #1a5fb4. Full suite: 115 runs, 0
failures.
Both NoteSaveForm (create) and the popup's inline Edit form now have
a title input (-> properties.name, shown in the black header, same as
every other waypoint popup) and a separate body textarea (->
properties.description) for more detail than a single line.
New formatNoteBody renders that body with a small self-rolled
markdown subset — **bold**, *italic*, auto-linked URLs (reusing the
existing linkify), newlines to <br> — deliberately a new function, not
a change to formatDescription: that one renders uploaded GPX/park4night
content, which is untrusted, and docs/nps-resources.adoc already has a
specific call not to add markdown rendering to that path. A note's
body is written by the logged-in viewer themselves, not uploaded, so
that concern doesn't apply here — the escape-then-selectively-markup
order (linkify first, since it does its own escaping, then wrap
already-escaped text in real <strong>/<em> tags) keeps it safe either
way.
Verified live: title renders in the popup header, **bold**/*italic*/
a URL in the body all render correctly. Full test suite: 115 runs, 0
failures (unaffected — description is just another property, not
something the backend routes inspect).
The earliest notes (saved before the previous commit added id
tracking) have no properties.id — update/delete target a feature by
that id, so offering Edit/Delete for one without it just 404s
("Could not delete/save the note", the generic fetch-failure alert).
The popup no longer offers Edit/Delete without an id. New
rake gpx:backfill_note_ids assigns one to any pre-existing Note
feature missing it, so already-saved notes become editable again too
— run once against wherever data/gpx actually lives (e.g. inside the
deployed container).
Drag: mousedown on a vertex circle calls event.preventDefault() (the
documented way to opt a gesture out of MapLibre's own drag-to-pan),
then a map-wide mousemove/mouseup follows the cursor and updates that
point's coordinates live. Delete: clicking a vertex selects it (shown
larger/yellow); Delete or Backspace removes it, guarded against
eating a keystroke meant for an actual text input on the page.
A vertex's own mousedown sets a one-shot flag so the same click
doesn't also fall through to the generic map-click handler and add a
brand new point on top of it.
Adding a note (either tool) always ended in a 401 for a logged-out
viewer — the write-only affordance just wasn't hidden yet, unlike
GpxPanelControl's own upload/new-folder buttons, which already are.
NotesControl isn't added to the map at all when logged out (its whole
purpose is writing); MeasureControl's "Save as note" button is hidden
but the tool itself stays usable for plain measuring either way.
Measure already draws distance lines and area polygons by hand — a
second click-to-draw UI in the notes tool (Point/Area mode, from the
previous commit) duplicated that. Replaced it with a "Save as note"
button on the Measure panel that saves whatever shape is currently
drawn there; NotesControl goes back to being just a one-click point
pin. Both share a single NoteSaveForm (notes.js) for the note-text +
target-layer-file UI instead of two copies of it.
gpx.js: the "lines" source now also renders a note-flagged LineString
(dashed, popup-on-click) alongside the Polygon fill/outline from
before — the plain track-line layer excludes category:"Note" features
so a saved distance note doesn't also get the track hover-summary/
profile-panel treatment.
Notes are now individually editable/deletable from their own popup
(logged-in only): Edit swaps the popup content for an inline
textarea, Delete confirms and removes. Both target the feature by a
new client-generated properties.id rather than array position (new
GpxStore#update_feature/#delete_feature, PUT/DELETE /api/gpx/notes),
since neither array index nor the note's own text (the thing being
edited) is a stable identifier.
Verified live: Measure's Save button (disabled/enabled state, saves
the exact on-screen shape), the popup's Edit/Delete buttons and inline
edit form. Full test suite: 115 runs, 0 failures (new coverage for
update_feature/delete_feature and the PUT/DELETE routes).
notes.js: Point/Area mode toggle mirroring measure.js's UX — Area
mode accumulates clicked vertices with a live dashed-preview polygon
(own small preview source/layers), a Finish button once 3+ corners
are placed, then the same save form as Point mode.
gpx.js's _addLayers now also renders Polygon features from a file's
"lines" source (fill + outline, filtered by geometry-type — the
existing line layer already only draws LineString, so this is just
two more layers on the same source, not a new bucket) with
popup-on-click like a waypoint, not the track line's hover-summary/
profile-panel behavior. Without this a saved polygon wouldn't have
rendered back on reload.
Fixed along the way: .notes-panel__form/.notes-panel__modes both set
their own `display`, which silently wins over the browser's default
`[hidden] { display: none }` (author styles always beat user-agent
ones) — same gotcha .gpx-panel__action[hidden] already has a comment
about. The form was never actually invisible before being opened.
Verified live: real polygon file (fill/outline render, click ->
popup) and the full Area-mode draw flow (mode switch, live preview,
Finish, form) via headless Chrome. Full test suite: 104 runs, 0
failures — one new backend test confirms a Polygon feature round-
trips through POST /api/gpx/notes.
Known gap (noted in TODO.adoc): the category filter matrix only
re-slices the points source, so toggling "Note" off hides point notes
but not polygon ones.
lib/maptool/overpass_pois.rb: queries Overpass for drinking water,
dump stations, LPG refill, toilets, laundromats, supermarkets/
convenience stores, and springs within a bbox, writes GeoJSON. A
dev-time tool (like the offline.pmtiles/terrain.pmtiles generation
steps already documented) — not called by the running app, drop the
output into data/gpx/ or upload it through the Tracks panel like any
other .geojson layer.
Verified against the real Overpass API (88 POIs for central
Bratislava) in addition to the new unit tests (pure to_geojson/
build_query logic, no network in the suite itself). Full suite: 103
runs, 0 failures.
New map-corner "Add note" control (public/js/notes.js), mirroring
measure.js's click-to-place UX. Click the map, write a short note,
pick an existing .geojson layer file or name a new one — saved via a
new GpxStore#append_feature (grows the target file in place, unlike
save()'s always-disambiguate-the-filename behavior) through a new
POST /api/gpx/notes route.
No new rendering path: a note is just another point in a .geojson
file the Tracks panel's tree already lists, checkboxes, and pops up —
visibility toggling ("layers") comes for free from that existing
machinery, per-file, with no changes needed there.
Points only for now — a polygon mode would need gpx.js's point/line
split taught a third Polygon bucket first, or a saved polygon
wouldn't render back on reload (see TODO.adoc).
Covered by new tests: GpxStore#append_feature (create/append/missing-
path/filename-safety) and the /api/gpx/notes route (auth gate, create,
append, malformed/missing-geometry rejection, 404 on a missing
target). Full suite: 97 runs, 0 failures.
public/sw.js: network-falling-back-to-cache for RainViewer radar tile
requests specifically (nothing else — the app itself is served by the
same local server that's already the offline resource in the van, so
there's no app-shell to precache). Registered from layout.erb, a no-op
where it can't register (insecure context) rather than an error.
Verified: registers and controls the page, tiles get cached on a
normal fetch, cache.match() correctly retrieves them by the same
request. CDP's network-blocking simulation doesn't interact cleanly
with Service Worker fetch interception (a known tooling quirk, not
specific to this), so the actual offline fallback path is the
standard try/catch pattern, verified by code review rather than a
simulated-offline screenshot.
Radar flyout now also shows a 3-day Open-Meteo forecast (free, no API
key) for the map's current center. Radar frames and the forecast fetch
independently — one being unreachable doesn't hide the other. The last
successful forecast is cached in localStorage and shown (with a
"cached from" note) when the live fetch fails, so there's still
something useful once actually offline.
Radar tile images themselves aren't cached — that needs a Service
Worker, left as a separate follow-up (see TODO.adoc).
Reuses the same raster-dem source the hillshade toggle already added
— a color-relief layer tints by elevation band (green valleys through
brown mid-slopes to pale grey peaks, in this app's own palette) under
the hillshade layer, so one toggle gives the combined shaded-relief
look instead of two separate layers.
Sidebar toggle (new HillshadeControl) adds a raster-dem hillshade
layer: public Terrarium tiles when online, or a local
data/terrain.pmtiles when present (mirrors offline.pmtiles' optional-
local-file pattern, new /api/terrain-tiles + /tiles/terrain.pmtiles
endpoints). No offline terrain data is bundled, so the toggle is
online-only until one is generated — see docs/development.adoc for
how.
Offline: fill in protomaps' "other" road-kind color (unset before,
so tracks/paths silently fell back to plain white against the cream
background); also fixes a dead "minor" theme key that was never read
by the actual paint expression (only minor_a/minor_b is), so ordinary
streets were quietly using the base theme's default yellow instead of
this app's cream.
Online: Liberty's own road_service_track layer merges paved service
roads with unpaved tracks into one color, which isn't safe to just
recolor brown (real driveways aren't unpaved). Clones it into a
second layer scoped to class=="track" only, dashed and dirt-brown,
matching the offline treatment without mislabeling paved service
roads.
Small green/gray indicator reusing the existing /api/offline-tiles
check, showing at a glance whether this server has offline map data.
Closes out the top banner TODO item — DEM elevation and a hamburger
menu are intentionally left out (no DEM layer yet, and the sidebar
isn't mobile-collapsed).
Legend items are now toggle buttons (icon grid, not a color-swatch
list) that hide/show that category's waypoints on the map. Filtering
re-slices each file's source data rather than using a layer filter,
since MapLibre clusters a GeoJSON source's full data regardless of
what a layer filter hides.
Black topbar banner with live map-center coordinates, a black header
(with NPS pictogram) on waypoint popups, offline basemap wood/park
colors unified with the online Liberty green, and the sidebar grouped
into the planned Explorer / Offline hub / Navigation menu sections.
Captures ideas for offline maps/POI data, an NPS Unigrid-inspired
visual redesign, a 4-module menu reorg, and custom layer support.
Hardware-dependent features (leveling, Victron/HA telemetry) are
parked under Nice to have for later.
/api/health now reports REVISION alongside status, and the CI wait
step checks for this deploy's own short SHA specifically - a stray
old container that never got torn down (or a build that silently
kept serving stale code) would still 200 on a plain health check but
now won't match.
systemctl restart (Type=simple, no readiness protocol) returns as
soon as podman compose up --build forks, before the build or the
container start have actually finished - a build failure or crash
loop would still show as a green deploy job. Poll /api/health for up
to 5 minutes (comfortably above the ~3.5min worst-case cold rebuild)
and fail the job if it never answers.
podman-compose@.service was missing the --build flag that
docker-compose@.service already has (added on cube.local:
/etc/systemd/system/podman-compose@.service), so removing
maptool:latest before every restart (my own earlier fix, meant to
force a rebuild) also destroyed the build cache along with it - every
deploy was redoing apt-get/bundle install from scratch (~3 min
measured, vs ~20s before). --build lets a plain systemctl restart
rebuild while still reusing unchanged layers, same as docker did, so
the ci.yml deploy step collapses back to one line.
docker.io/library/maptool:latest and maptool:latest resolve to the
same local image (verified on cube.local) - the docker.io/library
prefix is just podman's normalization of the unqualified name, not an
actual registry reference. Short form matches what docker-compose.yaml
itself uses and avoids implying a Docker Hub push/pull that never
happens.
The service's own ExecStart deliberately runs a plain podman compose
up (no --build) since ExecStartPre already tears down the previous
containers/networks/volumes on every start — but that leaves the
built image alone, so the deploy job now removes it directly first
(what forces a fresh build) and drives start/stop through systemctl
rather than calling podman/docker compose by hand. Also switches
/srv/docker/maptool to /srv/podman/maptool per the symlink now in
place, and updates deployment.adoc to match.
Ended sessions past the ~24h Garmin appears to keep a live-track page
around for get verified once at app startup and, once confirmed dead,
flagged so the panel greys them out instead of only failing after a
click. Already-flagged sessions are skipped on later startups so this
doesn't keep re-hitting Garmin for the same dead session.
GET /api/gnss/position now requires login (app.rb) -- it reveals
where the receiver physically is, not something to leave open to
anyone with the URL. GnssControl's sidebar icon is hidden entirely
when logged out (same pattern as the tree UI's write controls) rather
than shown and failing to ever get a fix.
LocateControl needs no changes: it only ever reaches GNSS through
GnssControl#isEnabled(), which can't turn true for a logged-out
visitor if the toggle is never on the page to click. Its
browser-geolocation fallback stays open to everyone -- a visitor's
own device asking for their own location isn't something to gate.
Extracted isLoggedIn() out of gpx.js into a shared public/js/auth.js
(gnss.js needed the same check) rather than duplicating it.
Verified: /api/gnss/position returns 401 logged out; the sidebar icon
is actually hidden (computed display: none, not just present-but-
unstyled -- checked properly this time after almost repeating the
same present-vs-visible test mistake the .gpx-panel__action bug
already taught).
If Locate was already tracking via the browser-geolocation fallback
(GNSS was off when clicked) and GNSS then gets turned on via the
sidebar, it kept using the browser position until the button was
clicked again -- the browser's own (often less accurate) position had
no business still being used once the app's own receiver had a fix.
GnssControl#onEnabledChange (a small internal callback list) notifies
LocateControl the moment the sidebar toggle changes; if it's actively
tracking via the browser at that point, it stops that and jumps to
GNSS's position instead.
Caught a real bug while verifying this: the automatic handoff reused
the same jump-to-GNSS helper a deliberate click uses, which alerts if
GNSS has no fix yet -- but GNSS only just turned on and almost
certainly hasn't gotten its first poll response back yet at the exact
moment the handoff fires, so this popped a blocking window.alert()
(which halts the whole page until dismissed) on every single enable.
A test hung on exactly this before I noticed. Fixed with an
alertIfNoFix option, true only for the deliberate-click path.
Verified end to end (simulating the "already tracking" state directly
since headless geolocation isn't reliable enough to trust as the
trigger): toggling GNSS mid-track removes the blue browser marker,
shows the green GNSS one once its poll lands, and no dialog appears.
The browser-geolocation fallback was reusing GnssControl's green
.gnss-marker for its own position dot -- on a machine with no real GPS
chip, wifi/IP-estimated location can jump around noticeably between
watchPosition updates, and a green dot doing that reads as "GNSS is
somehow still being used" even when it very much isn't (confirmed:
code review found no path from locate.js to /api/gnss/position at
all, and GNSS was off in the report). Switched to MapLibre's own blue
pulsing .maplibregl-user-location-dot -- the same look GeolocateControl
itself had here before, and now visually distinct from GNSS's green
on purpose rather than by accident.
Verified: both markers rendered side by side (GNSS on via the
simulator, plus a manually-placed browser-fallback-style marker) --
clearly different colors, no shared styling.
Two fixes based on feedback after the last commit:
1. The map wasn't following the position at all -- only the first fix
recentered, later updates just moved the marker. Now every fix
recenters (easeTo, not flyTo, after the first one, so it doesn't
repeat that zoom swoop on every update) -- matches how
GeolocateControl's own trackUserLocation always behaved.
2. GNSS should only be used when explicitly turned on via the sidebar
"GNSS" icon, not whenever a receiver happens to have a fix --
simpler to test against the simulator that way, and puts the
visitor in control of whether GNSS is engaged at all. GnssControl
now owns following the map on its own (same flyTo-once/easeTo-after
pattern) whenever it's enabled; LocateControl checks
GnssControl#isEnabled() and, when true, just jumps to
#getPosition()'s current fix and reuses its existing .gnss-marker
instead of polling/marking on its own. Only falls back to the
browser's own geolocation when GNSS is off.
Verified end to end with the GNSS simulator: enabling sidebar GNSS
recenters immediately and keeps following over several polls;
clicking Locate while GNSS is on jumps to the same position without
creating a second marker or touching its own active state; turning
GNSS back off and clicking Locate correctly falls through to the
browser geolocation path instead.
LocateControl (public/js/locate.js) replaces MapLibre's own
GeolocateControl -- same button, reusing its exact CSS/icon so it's a
visual drop-in, but sourced differently. Checks GET /api/gnss/position
once on click: if a fix is available (gpsd, possibly
bin/gnss_simulator.rb's simulated one), tracks that instead of the
browser's separate (and often less accurate) location service, which
is now only a fallback. Only the first fix recenters the map; later
updates just move the marker, unlike GeolocateControl's own default
of recentering on every update, which would fight a pan/zoom made in
the meantime.
Verified end to end with the GNSS simulator running: clicking the
button centered on the simulated position and dropped a marker,
clicking again cleared both, no console errors.
Mixing the legacy "$type" filter with an expression (["get", "role"])
in the same filter logs as unsupported in newer MapLibre. Modernized
all three measure layer filters to expression syntax; the vertex
circle layer's filter simplifies to just checking "role" (it's only
ever set on Point features to begin with, so the geometry-type check
was redundant once "role" was added).
Found while trying to reproduce a report that per-segment distance
labels don't show on a longer, several-point measurement -- couldn't
reproduce it locally or against production itself (both showed labels
correctly on a fresh page load), so this may be unrelated; still
worth fixing on its own.
Adds a gnss-simulator service to docker-compose.yaml, sharing
maptool's network namespace (network_mode: "service:maptool") so it's
reachable at the 127.0.0.1:2947 GpsdClient hardcodes -- there's no
real receiver attached to the server, so without this the "GNSS"
control there always shows "no fix". Both services now reference the
same image (maptool:latest) explicitly rather than each service with
its own `build: .` producing two separately-tagged (if
identically-layered) images.
Verified for real: built and ran the full compose stack in an
isolated project/port on cube (not the live one), confirmed
/api/gnss/position reports a moving fix across two polls through the
actual sidecar networking, then tore it down completely -- containers,
image, network, temp checkout. Production's own stack was untouched
throughout and confirmed still healthy afterward.
bin/gnss_simulator.rb speaks gpsd's own JSON wire protocol directly
on its default port -- GpsdClient connects to it exactly as it would
to real gpsd, no app changes needed, and no gpsd install/daemon
required either (unlike the existing fake-NMEA-source approach in
docs/development.adoc, which still needs gpsd itself in front of it).
Drives a loop around a center point at a driving-ish pace rather than
sitting still, since a fixed position isn't much of a "GNSS position"
to look at.
Verified end to end: started it, pointed a dev server at it, and
confirmed /api/gnss/position reports a moving fix across two polls.
.gpx-panel__action's own "display: flex" outranks the browser's
default "[hidden] { display: none }" -- same specificity, but an
author stylesheet rule always beats a user-agent one -- so setting
.hidden = true on these (GpxPanelControl#mount) never had any visual
effect. The per-file row icons (delete/download) were unaffected by
this since they're conditionally never added to the DOM at all rather
than hidden after the fact, a different mechanism that doesn't hit
this bug.
Same class of bug as the earlier Distance/Area overlap fix. Swept the
rest of the app's [hidden]-manipulated elements for the same pattern
(a display override with no [hidden] counterpart) -- this was the
only other one.
Verified in a real browser: computed display is now "none", not just
the hidden attribute being set with no visual effect.
The suffix ("ride.gpx" -> "ride.gpx.geojson" once cached) explained
what the name would download back when it doubled as a GeoJSON-only
download link. Now that downloading is the download button's job
(previous commit), it was just confusing -- the file itself is still
named "ride.gpx".
The file name doubling as a GeoJSON-only download link was easy to
miss as a link at all, and only ever covered half of what's actually
downloadable. One button next to delete now opens a small menu
(Original file / GeoJSON) instead -- costs a click when downloading
several files in a row, but both formats are reachable from one,
discoverable place. Only one menu open at a time, closed on any
outside click.
Verified in a real browser: opens with both items, closes on outside
click, no console errors.
fetch() has no cross-browser upload progress event, so the upload
path now uses XMLHttpRequest instead -- its upload.progress firing
with loaded === total is the only client-observable signal that the
server has moved from receiving bytes to converting them, worth
surfacing now that a large POI export's conversion (GpxStore#save)
can itself take several seconds on top of the transfer. Multi-file
uploads now also show which file (i of N) is in flight, previously
just a static "Uploading N files..." for the whole batch.
Verified the 401 path still redirects to /login through the new XHR
flow the same way fetch/redirectIfUnauthorized did.
ASSET_VERSION only proves *a* deploy happened recently, not *which*
commit -- not enough to answer "did my push actually deploy, or am I
looking at a stale browser cache" (today's actual answer: neither --
deploy was current, a GeoJSON cache predating a code change was just
never invalidated, since it only checks the source .gpx's mtime).
The CI deploy job now writes REVISION (short SHA) before dropping
.git; app.rb reads it at boot, falling back to "dev" locally/in CI's
own check job where the file never exists.
sinatra/json defaults its :json_encoder to MultiJson and calls
.encode on it, which newer multi_json versions deprecate in favor of
a constant this app has no other use for (sinatra-contrib 4.2.1, the
current release, still calls the old one -- not something fixable by
bumping a version). Every use of the json helper here is a plain
hash/array, so pointing :json_encoder at stdlib JSON instead sidesteps
multi_json entirely.
Delete (file and folder), download, upload, and new-folder were all
rendered unconditionally and relied on the backend's 401 + a redirect
to /login on click -- fine for surfacing the reason something failed,
but showing controls that plainly won't do anything until you log in
was the actual complaint. isLoggedIn() checks for the topbar's own
"Log out" link (only rendered when logged_in) instead of threading a
new flag through -- already there, and login state can't change
without a full page reload anyway.
Caught a real gap while verifying in a real browser: the folder row's
own delete button wasn't gated (only the file row's was), so a
"logged out" check still showed a delete icon on every folder. Fixed
before it shipped -- confirmed clean in both states afterward.
- national-park-service/fonts: unofficial but genuinely open (SIL OFL
1.1) typefaces inspired by public-lands signage -- unlike the
proprietary Rawlinson/Frutiger this app already ruled out, this one
has no licensing blocker if the look is ever wanted in this app's
own UI chrome.
- The official NPS Data API (developer.nps.gov) -- a legitimate
government data source, separate from the Mapbox-Atlas-licensed
tile service. No current use case (this app isn't NPS-park-specific)
but worth remembering.
- Two hobby projects (carlknutson/nps-changes-site,
seankelliher/us-national-parks-alerts) noted as real-world examples
of consuming that API, not as reusable libraries.
?download=... on GET /api/gpx/file now requires login, same as
upload/move/delete/create-folder -- plain viewing (no ?download)
stays public. Added ?download=original alongside the existing
GeoJSON export, serving the untouched, as-uploaded file directly via
send_file -- the file name link still downloads GeoJSON, a new
button next to delete downloads the original.
Since both are real <a href> links (so right-click/middle-click still
work), a logged-out click can't just be left as a plain navigation --
it would land on a raw JSON error page instead of being sent to log
in. _download (gpx.js) fetches instead, reuses the existing
redirectIfUnauthorized 401 check, and only then turns the response
into a blob and clicks a throwaway <a download> to trigger the save.
Verified in a real browser: an anonymous click on either download
correctly redirects through /login to the real OAuth login page
instead of showing raw JSON.
ONLINE_STYLE_PATCH mirrors OFFLINE_THEME's color choices onto
OpenFreeMap Liberty's OpenMapTiles layer ids (a separate hand-built
table -- the two schemas share no layer names). loadOnlineStyle
fetches Liberty's style.json once, patches it in place, and the
result replaces the plain URL everywhere ONLINE_STYLE is used --
MapLibre accepts a style object anywhere it accepts a style URL, so
applyStyle needed no change.
Runs before the map (and the rest of the page) is constructed, so
there's no flash of Liberty's own colors first -- but with a 3s
timeout and a catch-all fallback to the plain URL, since this app is
meant to keep working offline in the field and blocking startup on a
remote style server would undermine that.
Verified in a real browser: online map now visually matches the
offline theme (cream ground, brown/khaki land cover, green parks,
muted roads), no console errors, Online/Offline toggle still works.
The measure panel's mode buttons sit inside a maplibregl-ctrl-group
container (for the ruler button's own 29x29 sizing) — its global
"button" rule reaches them too, clipping "Distance"/"Area" into a
fixed 29px square with zero padding instead of sizing to fit the
text. Fixed by upping specificity (".measure-panel .measure-panel__mode")
rather than fighting the cascade with !important.
In distance mode, each segment between two clicked points now shows
its own length at its midpoint, not just the running total in the
panel — a symbol layer keyed off the existing source, filtered apart
from the vertex circles by a new "role" property.
Verified both in a real browser (panel no longer overlaps; two
638m segments rendered and labeled correctly summing to the panel's
1.28km total).
GpxStore#save converts eagerly, so "cached" is true for nearly every
file in the tree already — badging that was just noise. Flipped to
PENDING_ICON, shown only for the rare case: a .gpx/.fit dropped
straight into data/gpx/ on the filesystem, bypassing the app, and not
yet opened.
Also add an explicit download button next to delete (DOWNLOAD_ICON) —
the file name itself has been a download link since the last commit,
but isn't obviously clickable at a glance.
Once a .gpx/.fit is cached, the tree shows it under its converted name
("ride.gpx" -> "ride.gpx.geojson", matching the real cache file next
to it on disk) instead of still reading as un-converted -- the
GeoJSON is what's actually on the map from that point on, and the
original is never deleted, just not re-shown as itself. The name is
now a real link (GET /api/gpx/file/<path>?download=1) instead of
plain text, the only way to get that converted form out of the app.
Verified in a real browser that an <a> nested in a <label> claims its
own click rather than the label forwarding it to the checkbox, so
downloading and toggling visibility don't fight over the same click.
A .geojson file needs no GPX/FIT conversion — it's already the shape
gpx.js expects — so GpxStore#geojson now just reads and returns it
as-is, no cache sidecar. save/tree/the upload dropzone and its zip
handling all pick it up through the existing TRACK_EXTENSIONS list.
Also fixes a bug the new "cached" tree icon would have shipped with:
a GPX/FIT's own .geojson cache sidecar (e.g. "ride.gpx.geojson") also
matches the new .geojson branch in list_children, which would have
listed it as a second, phantom tree entry — excluded explicitly, with
a regression test.
GpxStore#tree now reports a "cached" flag per file (reusing the same
mtime freshness check geojson() already does); the file tree shows a
small curly-braces icon next to any file whose conversion is already
on disk, so it's visible which files will toggle on instantly versus
which still need to parse.
A newer p4n2gpx run (Ruby rewrite, ~/test/mapping/p4n2gpx) started
emitting one plain GPX <link href> per park4night listing photo,
which this app parsed but never displayed. Gpx.waypoint_photos
collects them into a photos property; the waypoint popup renders them
as a row of thumbnails above the description, each opening full-size
in a new tab. Absent on older exports and plain GPS waypoints, so the
row just doesn't render for those.
GpxStore#save now calls geojson() itself right after writing the
file, so the (potentially tens-of-seconds, for a large POI export)
conversion cost is paid during the upload — covered by the frontend's
existing "Uploading…" status — instead of on whichever checkbox
toggle happens to be first, which otherwise reads as a silent hang
indistinguishable from broken. An unparseable file still saves fine;
the error just surfaces on first view same as before.
Home now fitBounds()s a country-wide bbox instead of resetting to
CENTER/ZOOM's Bratislava point, since Home resetting into the same
city you'd already be looking at wasn't useful.
The overview map is NPS's own overview plugin (npmap5-plugins, still
on an unmerged branch), vendored and converted from its UMD dist
build to a plain ES module. Patched one MapLibre API break found while
verifying it: the plugin reads map.transform (public in the MapLibre
~2.4 it targets) to relax the inset's polar pan limit; MapLibre 6 (this
app's vendored version) no longer exposes .transform at all, so it
threw on load. Guarded to skip that cosmetic adjustment when absent
instead.
A several-thousand-waypoint park4night area export re-parses the
whole file with REXML on every toggle — ~2.4s for a 5k-waypoint/3.6MB
sample, so tens of seconds for a 50k-waypoint one, likely the actual
cause behind a "Could not load" report on a 41.5MB export. MapLibre
already clusters the waypoint layer client-side, so the bottleneck was
never rendering — cache the GeoJSON conversion alongside the source
file (invalidated by mtime) instead of a bigger bbox/tiling rework.
A ruler button in the top-left control stack, matching NPS's own
Area/Distance ruler. Click to add vertices; distance sums haversine
segment lengths, area uses the spherical-excess polygon formula
(same one turf.js's area() uses) rather than a flat shoelace, since a
flat approximation drifts at park-boundary scale. SI units only
(m/km, m²/km²) — no imperial toggle.
Matches the small numbered square NPS keeps next to its own zoom
buttons — a passive display, not a button, so it's plain markup with
no click behavior.
GeolocateControl was alone at bottom-right while Home/zoom/base-map were
grouped top-left — split across two corners instead of one stack like
the National Park Service's own map controls. Moved it in, between zoom
and the base-map button.
NPMap4 has infoboxControl: a generic "click anything, show every raw
property" debug view, kept separate from a dataset's own curated popup.
Not portable code (Leaflet), but the concept is: Alt+click anywhere now
opens a popup listing every rendered feature at that point via
map.queryRenderedFeatures — base map OSM tags included, not just this
app's own GPX/FIT/radar layers — with a raw key/value table per feature.
No dedicated UI for it on purpose: a keyboard-modified click needs no
button, toggle state, or cursor change of its own, and it's fine for it to
coexist with a layer's own click handler firing on the same click (e.g. a
GPX waypoint's normal popup) since this is a power-user/debugging
affordance, not a replacement for those. Feature properties can come from
an uploaded GPX/FIT file (untrusted input) via this app's own layers, so
every value is escaped the same way gpx.js's popups already are.
A CLI tool for pulling ArcGIS/ESRI REST data into GeoJSON/GeoPackage -
different category from the browser plugins/icons elsewhere in this doc.
No current use case (we have no ArcGIS data source to query) and,
unlike everything else surveyed so far, no LICENSE file at all.
v4 is one mature, accumulated framework; npmap5 is a still-in-progress
rewrite split into small, independently-versioned (mostly pre-1.0)
plugins, several of which aren't merged yet. Worth knowing so we don't
assume v5 already has everything v4 does.
