Map Configuration

The Map Geometry tab contains additional settings associated with the NOP Interactive Map (IM).

It consists of two distinct tabs, Dimensions/Scale and Colors.

Dimensions/Scale

Maximum Map Dimensions

This set of parameters determines the maximum size (in pixels) for the Map and the file format of the Map image.

//NOTE - DOES NOT SEEM TO BE EFFECTIVE

Layer Visibility Threshold

This component lets you determine when a given layer is visible on the Interactive Map.

Each of the parameters can be either set to be visible in any circumstance, by ticking the Always Show check box:

... or set to be visible starting from a given scale, indicating a Visible from value expressed in million pixels / meter:

  • Using 0 (zero) will be equivalent to 'Always Show'
  • A low value will result in the associated layer being visible even under a small amount of magnification of the Map
  • A high value means that the associated layer is visible only when the Map is strongly zoomed in

Query Limit

The Query Limit component limits the number of results returned for each of the query parameter:

  • AB
  • AS
  • AD
  • AZ
  • PT
  • TV
  • RT
  • ...
  • ProposedRoute

The possible settings are No limit (checkbox) or Max Nb of Entities (numeral):

Colors

The Color tab is where the color and label settings for the Map elements are managed.

A vast number of parameters are available, grouped in 7 tabs:

General

As the title says, the General tab contains the general Map features, namely:

  • Background
  • Countries
  • Grid

The Background of the Map is defined with a Color / Alpha value pair:

 

Select the desired color from the Color picker - or enter a coded hexadecimal value in the text field (7888A0 in the case depicted above).
The Alpha value indicates the level of opacity of the color (255 being the maximum) - simply lower this value to get the desired amount of transparency.

The Countries and Grid parameters each contain the following elements:

  • Legend (text)
  • Fill (color and alpha)
  • Line (color and alpha)
  • Label (color and alpha)

Changing these values will affect how the world map is displayed in the background of the Map.

Reference Locations

The Reference Location tab groups all the Map parameters related to reference locations (Aerodrome, Airblocks, Airspace, ..).

They each present the following elements:

  • Legend (text)
  • Fill (color and alpha)
  • Line (color and alpha)
  • Label (color and alpha)

You can edit them in the fashion described in the General tab section above.

Flow Restrictions, Delays, Daily Plans, Flights and AUPs

The 5 remaining tabs do present the same structure as in the Reference Locations tab.

They contain items relevant to each topic:

  • Flow Restrictions: Routing, DCT, Reference Location, Included, ...
  • Delays: Normal, Low, Medium, High
  • Daily Plans: Headline, Event, ACC, NAT, Weather, Other
  • Flights: Actual, Estimated, Calculated, Confirmed, Proposed 
  • AUPs: AMA/NAM Allocations, RCA Allocations, AMA/NAM Availability
