Map Feature Plugin

Introduction

The Map Feature plugin displays a world map. 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 or the Sun, Moon and Stars from the Star Tracker.

Interface

1: Source Channels

This displays the list of channels the Map is displaying data from.

2: Find

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).

3: Display Names

When checked, names of objects are displayed in a bubble next to each object.

4: Delete

When clicked, all items will be deleted from the map.

Map

The map displays objects reported by other SDRangel channels and features.

The 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.
Clicking on an object in the map will display a text bubble with additional information about the object.

API

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" }}'
