## 📍 Map Command
|
||||
|
||||
The `map` command allows you to log your current GPS location with a custom description. This is useful for mapping mesh nodes, events, or points of interest.
|
||||
The `map` command provides a comprehensive location management system that allows you to save, retrieve, and manage locations in a SQLite database. You can save private locations (visible only to you) or public locations (visible to all nodes), get headings and distances to saved locations, and manage your location data.
|
||||
|
||||
### Usage
|
||||
|
||||
- **Show Help**
|
||||
```
|
||||
map help
|
||||
map ?
|
||||
```
|
||||
Displays usage instructions for the map command.
|
||||
Displays usage instructions for all map commands.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Log a Location**
|
||||
- **Save a Private Location**
|
||||
```
|
||||
map <description>
|
||||
map save <name> [description]
|
||||
```
|
||||
Saves your current location as a private location (only visible to your node).
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
```
|
||||
map save BaseCamp
|
||||
map save BaseCamp Main base camp location
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- **Save a Public Location**
|
||||
```
|
||||
map save public <name> [description]
|
||||
```
|
||||
Saves your current location as a public location (visible to all nodes).
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
```
|
||||
map save public TrailHead
|
||||
map save public TrailHead Starting point for hiking trail
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** If `public_location_admin_manage = True` in config, only administrators can save public locations.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Get Heading to a Location**
|
||||
```
|
||||
map <name>
|
||||
```
|
||||
Retrieves a saved location and provides heading (bearing) and distance from your current position.
|
||||
|
||||
The system prioritizes your private location if both private and public locations exist with the same name.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
```
|
||||
map Found a new mesh node near the park
|
||||
map BaseCamp
|
||||
```
|
||||
Response includes:
|
||||
- Location coordinates
|
||||
- Compass heading (bearing)
|
||||
- Distance
|
||||
- Description (if provided)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Get Heading to a Public Location**
|
||||
```
|
||||
map public <name>
|
||||
```
|
||||
Specifically retrieves a public location, even if you have a private location with the same name.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
```
|
||||
map public BaseCamp
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- **List All Saved Locations**
|
||||
```
|
||||
map list
|
||||
```
|
||||
Lists all locations you can access:
|
||||
- Your private locations (🔒Private)
|
||||
- All public locations (🌐Public)
|
||||
|
||||
Locations are sorted with private locations first, then public locations, both alphabetically by name.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Delete a Location**
|
||||
```
|
||||
map delete <name>
|
||||
```
|
||||
Deletes a location from the database.
|
||||
|
||||
**Permission Rules:**
|
||||
- If `delete_public_locations_admins_only = False` (default):
|
||||
- Users can delete their own private locations
|
||||
- Users can delete public locations they created
|
||||
- Anyone can delete any public location
|
||||
- If `delete_public_locations_admins_only = True`:
|
||||
- Only administrators can delete public locations
|
||||
|
||||
The system prioritizes deleting your private location if both private and public locations exist with the same name.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Legacy CSV Logging**
|
||||
```
|
||||
map log <description>
|
||||
```
|
||||
Logs your current location to the legacy CSV file (`data/map_data.csv`) with a description. This is the original map functionality preserved for backward compatibility.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
```
|
||||
map log Found a new mesh node near the park
|
||||
```
|
||||
This will log your current location with the description "Found a new mesh node near the park".
|
||||
|
||||
### How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
- The bot records your user ID, latitude, longitude, and your description in a CSV file (`data/map_data.csv`).
|
||||
- If your location data is missing or invalid, you’ll receive an error message.
|
||||
- You can view or process the CSV file later for mapping or analysis.
|
||||
- **Database Storage:** All locations are stored in a SQLite database (`data/locations.db` by default, configurable via `locations_db` in config.ini).
|
||||
- **Location Types:**
|
||||
- **Private Locations:** Only visible to the node that created them
|
||||
- **Public Locations:** Visible to all nodes
|
||||
- **Conflict Resolution:** If you try to save a private location with the same name as an existing public location, you'll be prompted that there is a the public record with that name.
|
||||
- **Distance Calculation:** Uses the Haversine formula for accurate distance calculations. Distances less than 0.25 miles are displayed in feet; otherwise in miles (or kilometers if metric is enabled).
|
||||
- **Heading Calculation:** Provides compass bearing (0-360 degrees) from your current location to the target location.
|
||||
|
||||
**Tip:** Use `map help` at any time to see these instructions in the bot.
|
||||
### Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Configure in `[location]` section of `config.ini`:
|
||||
|
||||
- `locations_db` - Path to the SQLite database file (default: `data/locations.db`)
|
||||
- `public_location_admin_manage` - If `True`, only administrators can save public locations (default: `False`)
|
||||
- `delete_public_locations_admins_only` - If `True`, only administrators can delete locations (default: `False`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Tip:** Use `map ?` at any time to see these instructions in the bot.
