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.
