= TODO — implementation ideas

Ideas for offline use in a camper van. Implement incrementally, grouped by topic.

The local server has access to both the vehicle's hardware and offline data — the
vision is to grow it into a complete offline control center: resources, data, and
independence from connectivity.

== Offline data and cartography

* [ ] Offline vector tiles (PMTiles/MBTiles) for Europe/world via Planetiler or MapTiler
* [x] Shaded relief / DEM layer — hillshade toggle in the sidebar, sourced from public Terrarium tiles online; reads `data/terrain.pmtiles` for offline if one's been generated (see docs/development.adoc), otherwise the toggle is online-only for now
** [ ] Terrain slope readout for parking (numeric, not just visual shading)
* [ ] Contour lines from OSM for hikes and mountain passes
* [ ] Overpass/OSM scripts to extract POIs (drinking water, dump stations, LPG, public toilets, laundromats, shops, springs)
* [ ] Import Park4Night / iOverlander / Freecampsites data
* [ ] Kiwix/ZIM offline Wikipedia linked to POI GPS coordinates
* [x] Cache weather forecast when temporarily connected — Open-Meteo 3-day forecast in the Radar flyout, last successful fetch cached in localStorage as a fallback when offline
** [x] Cache the radar tile *images* too — `public/sw.js`, network-falling-back-to-cache for RainViewer tile requests, registered from layout.erb

== NPS visual style

* [ ] Map Park4Night/OSM place types to NPS pictograms (campground, primitive camp, drinking water, dump station, viewpoint, picnic table) for instant recognition without reading text
* [ ] Restyle popovers, side panels, and point detail views after the NPS Unigrid layout system (Massimo Vignelli) with Frutiger/Rawlinson Roadside-style typography
** [x] Top black banner (full width): "MAPTOOL" on the left, live map-center coordinates in the center, offline-data status dot on the right, white sans-serif type — DEM elevation and a hamburger menu skipped (no DEM layer yet; sidebar isn't mobile-collapsed, so nothing for a hamburger to reveal)
** [ ] Point detail/sidepanel: black header banner with white location name and an NPS pictogram in the corner; amenities (water, waste, power, slope) shown as a pictogram grid, no extra text; action buttons for "route here" (Valhalla), "start leveling", "save offline"
** [x] Filter panel as a "Unigrid Matrix" — an icon grid to toggle categories on/off, styled like the legend on an official NPS paper map, instead of plain dropdowns
* [ ] Custom vector style (MVT/MapLibre) using the NPS color palette — muted natural tones for forests, water, and contours — so POIs and routes stand out at high zoom
** [ ] Landuse & protections: distinct styling for national parks, nature reserves (translucent green/gray-green), military zones, and private land (important for wild camping)
** [x] Elevation-tinted terrain — a `color-relief` layer (hypsometric tint, this app's own green→brown→gray palette) under the hillshade layer, same "Terrain shading" toggle
** [x] Road hierarchy: clearly distinguish paved roads from unpaved/gravel/track — critical for knowing if the camper can get there

== Main menu reorganization (4 modules)

* [ ] Explorer: place filters (Park4Night + OSM layers: water, waste, LPG, showers); map layers (contours, hillshade, satellite cache)
* [ ] Navigation & route: offline router (Valhalla) with vehicle dimensions (height, weight, width); route elevation profile and isochrones
* [ ] Offline hub: manager for downloaded PMTiles (country vector maps); downloaded Wikipedia archives; cached radar and weather
* [ ] Camper & HW: level gauge (wheel-chock leveling); solar calculator (sun path on the map); telemetry (Victron / Home Assistant)

== Custom layers & data

* [x] GPX/GeoJSON drag-and-drop import (Wikiloc, Komoot, own GPX tracks — also FIT), auto-styled by category with a generated elevation profile — KML not supported (only GPX/FIT/GeoJSON/.zip)
* [ ] User overlay: offline drawing of custom points/polygons with notes (e.g. "turning space for a long vehicle", "narrow gate", "good swimming spot")
* [ ] Offline satellite tile caching (e.g. ESRI) for a selected route area — key for judging surface quality and obstacles when wild camping

== Nice to have (later)

Deprioritized for now — revisit after the sections above land.

=== Vanlife features

* [ ] Offline routing (Valhalla/OSRM) with vehicle parameters (height, weight, width)
* [ ] Solar calculator — sun path for location/date, shadows from surroundings, camper orientation

=== HW integration

* [ ] Level gauge from IMU (ESP32/RPi) — camper tilt, wheel-chock leveling calculation
* [ ] Victron/Home Assistant via MQTT or WebSocket — battery SoC, tank levels, temperatures
* [ ] Plot GPS track with historical battery/speed data
