Map management

Maps are organised into groups:

Group A
MAP AMap B
MAP CMap D
MAP EMap F
Group B
MAP GMap H
MAP IMap J
MAP KMap L

Every map <id> must be unique however the map <name> can be duplicated.

Maps are activated by selection and can be defaulted as follows:

TagAttributeResult
visibletrueMap is enabled by default
visiblefalseMap is disabled by default
texttrueText tags are enabled by default
textfalseText tags are disabled by default
threshold(number)Zoom threshold visibility - a higher number is a closer zoom

The selection and deselection of maps will be group able into presets.
A preset simply groups the selection/deselection of maps. Map may be called from multiple presets.

Preset AMap AMap BMap D
Preset BMap AMap EMap F
Preset CMap CMap GMap H

The idea behind presets is to simplify the selection of maps per function, for example:

PresetMaps called
Preset EBBR APPTMA mapCTR mapGEO map
Preset EBBR EastCenterlines 07Centerlines 02
Preset EBBR WestCenterlines 25Centerlines 20

Sectors and maps

Each sector will be able to define a default:

  • preset
  • mapcolors.xml
  • sddcolors.xml
  • label
  • uistyle
  • menu

If one of the above parameters are not set for the sector they will be taken from the fir default. We are considering allowing the user to choose any of the above from a list of options which is defined in the fir directory.
