Every help screen checked against the v5 redesign. Tours is documented for
the first time, as a screen of its own with twelve screens under it, and
notifications get help of their own. All pictures are taken again on a
realistic demo trip, with short loops where a still cannot show the motion.
The English is plain and every language is written naturally rather than
word for word.
The switcher shows two levels at most, a screen's overview lists its
sub-screens as cards above its guides, each wiki page is linked once, and
the help sidebar is wider.
Fixes found along the way: Save to Collection keeps a tour's route, a track
dropped on the places column opens the Tours import, tour Share on desktop,
the unsaved tour draft lives on the account, a route click no longer adds
an end point, Trip places leaves the trip's tours out, Escape closes a
stage's day menu, confirms before destructive deletes, DWD warnings sharing
one id kept apart, a booking's date moves with it, and smaller fixes across
notifications, bookings, the day plan, stays, Atlas, Collections, Vacay and
the admin screens.
Every journey map (the desktop aside, the phone screens and the shared page)
now carries four switches: Plan, Recorded, Entries and Photos, each with its
count, a spinner while it loads, the warning tone when it could not be read
and the reason when it has nothing to show. A switch only hides, in place:
the map is not rebuilt and keeps its view, and the choice is kept in this
browser per journey (per link on a shared page, by a hash of its token).
The plan draws the places the linked trips put on their days as hollow dashed
pins and the trips' GPX routes dashed; a place an entry was written about is
not drawn twice, the entry's pin carries a check instead. The stays a day
report was taken over from show as dots in the colour of their day. Marks on
one spot join into a disc with their number and open as a list; a picked
place or stay opens a card with its trip, days and times and leads to its
entry. A key beside the switches explains every pin and line and says that
a plan is no proof of a visit. The phone timelines now show the photos too.
The GPX routes come with the map's layers through the linked trips, read
only while the journey's track switch is on; the frozen /tracks answer stays
Studio's. The share settings on desktop and phone get Trip plan and Recorded
routes under Map, off by default and only switchable while the map is shared.
Ski becomes "Ski & winter", a type the planner plans with six disciplines
(alpine, snowboard, cross-country, ski touring, snowshoeing, winter hiking),
nothing preselected; saving needs a discipline, and a technique for
cross-country. Every leg is drawn straight between the points through
planner/skiRouting.ts, the one place the piste router will plug in, with its
heights from the elevation source and no ski time worked out.
The hike's winter label goes entirely: its migration, column, field, marks,
GPX rule, MCP field and strings. A hike is summer only; a ski tour with the
snowshoe discipline exports as snowshoeing. The unreleased ski migration takes
the six disciplines and the collection migration loses the winter column.
The pistes are offered for a ski tour, shown until switched off, and with no
tour open, never for a hike. Export, copy, collections, stages (untimed),
actual tracks, the atlas, list and day marks (one glyph per discipline), 3D,
planning over a ski import and list_tours/get_tour_plan know the planned ski
tour.
The pistes overlay has no tiles below zoom 9, so switching it on at a region
or country view left the map empty while the switch looked on, which read as
broken. Both maps now report their zoom with the viewport, on the 256 px tile
scale raster sources count in (a GL map's own zoom is one step lower there),
and the planner hands it to its overlays. While the pistes are on and the map
is further out than their first tiles, the switch stays pressed in the soft
accent, its tooltip and the key's first line say to zoom in, and the screen
reader hears it once. An unknown zoom claims nothing.
SKI-01. The Tours planner's layer switch gains a winter layer: OpenSnowMap's
transparent piste overlay over whichever base map is shown, so a ski area
can be looked at while preparing a winter trip. It is offered with no tour
open (a resort without any route), beside a hike for winter hiking and on an
imported ski track; it needs neither a GPX import nor the ski type, and a
bike tour, a run and a paddle tour do not offer it. It is off until switched
on, and the choice belongs to the map view: switching it changes no point,
no step and no route, and it stays on from no tour to a hike and into 3D,
where the terrain draws it too.
The switch goes by its icon alone, named by its tooltip, so a hike's row
stays short. While the layer shows, a small key button rides beside it in
the same pill, its badge the four grade colours. The key opens above the
map as a popover: the downhill grades in OpenSnowMap's own colours (novice,
easy, intermediate, advanced, expert, freeride), cross-country trails,
winter and snowshoe trails, toboggan runs and lifts, a note that this is
mapped data that says nothing about what is open or groomed, the snow or
avalanches, and a link to the full key at OpenSnowMap. If the tiles stop
coming, the switch turns to the warning tone with its badge and says that
the map and the route still work, and the key stays away.
Only the overlay is used, never OpenSnowMap's relief or base maps. Like
every overlay it loads only the tiles in view: nothing is prefetched or
cached by the Service Worker, as their terms forbid bulk downloads. The
tiles go out with the page's origin as the referer, the attribution credits
OpenSnowMap (CC BY-SA) and the OpenStreetMap contributors, and the layer
stops at zoom 18, beyond which the server answers a picture instead of a
transparent tile. The CSP admits tiles.opensnowmap.org for the GL map,
which reads tiles through fetch.
The tour type is a dropdown; a bike tour picks its profile, routes for it,
says when a point lies off every way, and shows what it runs on: surfaces,
kinds of way and, for a mountain bike, the trail grades, each pointed at on
the map. A type's own map (OpenHikingMap for a hike, CyclOSM for a bike tour)
is offered while a tour of that type is open, with an admin switch each.
From the planned cards: a hike avoids steep climbs, steps or ferries, nothing
else; a saved tour can be shared where the platform takes GPX files; and the
tours rail adds a tour from one menu: plan new, import GPX, or take one over
from another trip.
While a hike is planned, the planner's map switch offers "Hiking" beside the
map, topo and satellite: OpenHikingMap, with marked trails over the terrain.
It is a choice of the planner's view alone, like topo: the global map
setting, the tour and its days stay as they are. With no tour open, over an
import viewed as it came in and for a paddle tour it is not offered, and a
choice made earlier falls back to the standard map there.
openmaps.fr's tile usage policy is followed: tiles load only as the map
shows them, with the browser's Referer, from the server's own caching; no
service worker rule keeps them and the 3D flyover's warm-up passes their
source by. Its credit and donation link are on the map; the 3D map, whose
attribution is folded away under the panel, shows them as a line of its own
above its controls.
The service is best effort. A run of failed tiles while it is shown marks
the switch, with a tooltip and a status for screen readers that say it is
not answering and that the tour is untouched; one tile arriving clears it.
The tile health the seamark overlay had is now useTileHealth, shared by both.
The source is free for non-commercial installs up to 500,000 tiles a month.
tours_hiking_map_enabled is an admin switch under Tours (admin tours-hiking-map,
audited), on by default, for an install that is commercial or larger to
switch off until it has an agreement with the operator. /api/addons carries
it as toursHikingMap, true only while Tours is on.
Leaflet, GL and the 3D map read one table of the planner's raster bases
(tourRasterBases), so topo and the hiking map are drawn the same way.
tile.openmaps.fr is on the CSP's connect-src for the GL maps.
PAD-03 portages and locks on planned tours and recorded tracks, PAD-07 paddle time with portage and lock stops, PAD-08 wind forecast for the start, PAD-05A regional obstacle import from Geofabrik extracts with admin endpoints and a monthly refresh, PAD-05B first cut of the obstacle layer on Leaflet, GL and 3D. Work in progress: checklist (PAD-06), check bench (PAD-09), admin UI, translations and tests follow.
- Paddle as a plannable tour type: one boat (kayak, canoe, SUP, other), river or
lake, a pace that a boat change never overwrites; time is distance over pace
- Hand-drawn legs beside routed ones, drawn dotted and labelled as not routed,
kept through save, reopen and edits elsewhere
- Reverse a tour and close it back to its start, each one undo step
- GPX import shows a preview first (line, measures, duplicates, type) and only
the confirmation stores the tour
- Base maps and overlays per tour type in the planner: hike keeps topo and the
via ferrata layer, paddle gets the OpenSeaMap seamark overlay
The tours map gets a 3D mode on the same map surface between the side panels:
a "3D" switch in the layer pill drapes the route over open Terrarium elevation
tiles (AWS Open Data), colours it by grade, plays a flyover tied to the
elevation profile in the rail, and keeps planning working by clicking and
dragging waypoints on the terrain. The corridor around the route is preloaded
before the flyover so the landscape never loads in front of the camera.
GPX imports no longer get a made-up hiking difficulty: max_hiking_difficulty
becomes nullable (new migration, waypoints kept), the import writes null and
the client shows no T badge for it. Drawn tours still default to T2.
Info hints in the planner show their tooltip only, and the discard
confirmation reads "Discard changes".
Two faults behind one round button on the phone map.
The base layer switcher that both engines draw in the bottom left corner
sat on top of the GL compass, which started 8px to its left and ran on
under the frosted shell, so it read as a second button showing through.
The compass now stands beside the switcher, placed off the switcher's own
exported inset and size so the two cannot drift apart again.
Satellite never drew on GL because applySatellite gave up whenever
isStyleLoaded() was false and only retried on styledata. That flag is false
while any source has tiles or a setData in flight, which on a phone is the
usual state, and styledata does not fire when those finish. On the road
trip stage every tap met a busy style, because the settings write
re-rendered the shell and handed the map fresh stage arrays. The guard is
gone (the pass only runs after load, and addSource/addLayer only refuse a
style document that is not in yet), an existing layer just flips its
visibility, and a source left without its layer still gets the layer.
The stage data in MMapArea is memoised, so a store write no longer refits
the camera or sets the route, access and place sources again.
Three small things noticed while working nearby, none of them Dawarich:
The map's layer switcher showed the browser's own tooltip while every
control beside it showed TREK's, so hovering along the row produced two
different boxes in two different styles.
The journey entry editor mixed TREK's date picker with a native time
input, and the date, which is the longer of the two, had the narrower
column: "12. Sept. 2026" wrapped while the clock sat half empty. The row
is split in the date's favour now and the picker is disabled together
with the rest of the form instead of staying live behind it.
On the phone's journey, the dock's "+" now turns into an upload button
while the Gallery tab is open, which is what that tab's one big action
actually is.
Extract the day route builder out of useRouteCalculation into a pure module and
aggregate it over the whole trip: one map with every day's route, each day in its
own colour, the mode per stage and the trip's total distance. Straight lines first,
roads as they answer; a refused leg keeps its line and adds no distance.
Give the floating map controls one shared drop shadow while adding the toggle, so
the new pill and the base-layer switcher stand off the tiles the way the locate
button always has. Document the control in wiki/Map-Features.md.
Addresses #1736
Add a corner button on the Leaflet trip map that switches the base layer
between the default street tiles and a tokenless satellite view (ESRI
World Imagery). The choice is a per-user setting (map_base_layer) that
persists and applies instantly, including offline. GL-renderer satellite
styles are unchanged.
