To-do next:

• fix scale to be accurate to reality, which probably means fixing internal scale of map
• would be nice if the keyboard shortcuts weren’t totally independent of the UI controls, ie. hitting ‘c’ also toggles the checkbox.
  • probable fix: use the idea of ‘hot keys’ in UI object, have keypress event run through list of keys instead of one-off checking that currently happens

Possible ideas for future versions:

• More interesting rendering modes
  • look at different ways of animating paths, speed in particular would be good
• Integration with Google Maps, overlay routes on map tiles
• I’m not sure the interaction makes as much sense as it could. Half the time when I click to drag, I expect the map to move instead of rotate. The other half I’m expecting rotation. Not sure if this is addressable.

To-done:

Future version

• reduced CPU load
• Quick toggle between 2D and 3D modes
• Add UI control for 2D / 3D toggle
• Adjusted view buttons to add animated mode
• basic animated paths (tracers)
• figure out a way to add a few extra render modes to the UI (added connectors checkbox which buys some time; still only a need for 4 buttons, though 5 is looming)
• converted lat/long coordinates to meters
• adjust all internal rendering to use meters instead of previous fudged scale
• Map legend / scale indicators
  • built UI elements to display scale
• figure out how to convert lat/long coordinates to a UTM grid, to correct for latitude skew.

1.02

• fix 0,0 coordinate bug with TCX
• get time working in TCX files
