Tree mapper mode

Justin Forest edited this page Mar 23, 2025 · 7 revisions

Tree mapper mode is a special application mode which helps adding new trees quickly and efficiently.

Feature status: fully implemented.

User Experience

The following user interface changes are introduced.

  • On the home page, a link or button is added to enter the mapper mode. This selection is remembered for future and persists, no need to click the button every time.
  • When the mode is enabled, a cross-hair appears at the center of the main map page, and the "add tree" button is shown in the top left corner of the map. When that button is clicked, a dialog opens to enter tree parameters.
  • After the tree is added, the user is brought back to the main map page, instead of the tree details page. This lets them add another tree quickly, without having to go to the home page every time.

Implementation details

When the button is clicked, a flag is set in the local storage, which indicates that the mode is on.
