The map viewer is based on leaflet using various plugins to help.

Whenever an item is selected in the left side (file viewer) it is also shown / highlighted on the map. The map allows for various interactions with the gpx file / track / tracksegment / route:

  • search of locations using the magnifier icon
  • show distances & bearings using the measure & compass icon
  • show / hide elevation plot
  • switch map between OpenCycleMap / MapBox / OpenStreetMap / Satellite ESRI
  • add / remove overlays: Contour Lines / Roads and Labels / Hill Shading / Railways
  • increase / decrease zoom level
  • re-center map to show selected item

Via context menu additional functionality is available:

  • Add wayoint at this position
  • Add route at this position
  • Search for special items (search results can be converted to waypoints via context menu)
  • Goto coordinate: New dialog to enter lat / lon is shown
  • Show Horizon: Show 3d view of the horizon as would be seen from current location
  • Show Sunrise/Sunset: Add lines to locations where actual sunrise / sunset (taking into account the horizon) would be seen from current location

Additional actions:

  • CTRL + mouse drag: select wayoints in rectangle
  • SHIFT + CNTRL + mouse drag: add wayoints in rectangle to selection

All of this coding wouldn't be possible without a number of fine people who provided their code & ideas to the community!
