TacTrace is live at: tactrace.orbat-mapper.app/ Still very much a work in progress, so I'd love your feedback and bug reports. I mostly built it as a sandbox for myself before adding things to ORBAT Mapper. (2/2)

After some flashy TacTrace terrain work, back to the glamorous world of symbolic policies: control measure label sizing.

MapLibre 6.15 now supports maps in any projection. That is actually quite exciting news.

The idea: attach terrain analysis directly to control measures and units. Currently supported: elevation profiles, viewsheds, slope mobility, and helicopter landing sites.”

TacTrace now features basic terrain analysis tools. Still experimental, but fun to play around with!

Now also with elevation snapping to make it easier to hit the highest/lowest point in the area around the ovserver.

The Hellfire tool now needs to be enabled in advanced settings (off by default). This is, after all, a serious tool. 😎

As @FalklandsinUK reminds me, the City of London hosted a victory parade on 12 Oct 1982 for the Falklands Task Force ~ 🇫🇰 ~ so obviously we need a map of the Falkland Islands. Surveyed and drawn by No 2 Topo, 14th (Corps Fd Svy) RE in 1943, published as GSGS 4465 in 1944. Lovely.

ORBAT Mapper can now show 3D terrain and hillshading completely offline. Drop a PMTiles elevation archive (like a Mapterhorn extract) on the map, click "Use for terrain", done. Pair it with an offline basemap and you don't need a network at all.

This also works in TacTrace by the way.
