# Interactive 3D Map Visualization

## Overview

The Interactive 3D Maps provide an advanced interface for real-time geospatial monitoring and control of drone operations. This includes support for live asset tracking, flight path visualization, and interactive map features.

## Map Behavior and Interaction

#### Default Centering

* Upon initialization, the map automatically centers on the user’s current location to provide immediate operational context.

#### Dynamic Re-centering

* When a drone is made visible in the interface, the map automatically recenters to include the drone's current location.

* If multiple drones are selected as visible, the map dynamically zooms out to ensure all selected drones are within view.

* In cases where drones are geographically dispersed, the zoom level may adjust to a global view to accommodate all visible assets.

#### Spotlight Tracking Mode

* Pinning a drone activates Spotlight Mode, enabling map tracking of the pinned drone’s movement.

* In Spotlight Mode, the map automatically follows the pinned drone.
* Tracking can be disabled by the user to allow manual interaction with the map.

## Features

#### Real-time Drone Positions

* All active fleet assets are displayed on the map with real-time position updates.

#### Flight Path Visualization

* The current location of each drone is displayed.
* A visual flight path is rendered as a blue trajectory line representing the drone's recent movement.

#### Site Locations

* All drone dock locations and operational sites are clearly marked on the map for reference and planning.

#### Airspace Threat Overlay

* Airspace threats are overlaid on the map to indicate potential hazards or conflict zones.

#### Zoom and Navigation

* The map supports full 3D interaction capabilities, including pan, zoom, and rotation.
* Users can freely navigate the map to inspect specific areas or monitor fleet operations in detail.

## Additional Notes

* Only one drone can be pinned at a time.
* Drone tracking can be toggled on or off to switch between automatic following and manual map control.
