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.
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).
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.
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.
