2018-05-18 16:59:46 +08:00
## Install
2018-06-01 16:34:48 +08:00
Either use the Manage Palette option in the Node-RED Editor menu, or run the following command in your Node-RED user directory - typically `~/.node-red`
2016-04-01 18:31:07 +08:00
2017-03-04 22:13:05 +08:00
npm i --save node-red-contrib-web-worldmap
2016-04-01 18:31:07 +08:00
2018-06-01 06:02:01 +08:00
2018-06-01 21:04:06 +08:00
## Usage
2016-04-01 18:31:07 +08:00
2019-02-17 01:40:28 +08:00
Plots "things" on a map. By default the map will be served from `{httpRoot}/worldmap` , but this
can be configured in the configuration panel.
2016-04-01 18:31:07 +08:00
2018-06-01 16:34:48 +08:00
Use keyboard shortcut `⌘⇧m` , `ctrl-shift-m` to jump to the map.
2016-04-01 18:31:07 +08:00
The minimum **msg.payload** must contain `name` , `lat` and `lon` properties, e.g.
2019-02-17 01:40:28 +08:00
msg.payload = { "name":"Jason", "lat":51.05, "lon":-1.35 }
2016-04-01 18:31:07 +08:00
2018-10-26 05:12:29 +08:00
`name` must be a unique identifier across the whole map. Repeated location updates to the same `name` move the marker.

Any other `msg.payload` properties will be added to the icon popup text box. This can be overridden
by using the **popup** property to supply your own html content.
2016-04-01 18:31:07 +08:00
2018-05-18 16:59:46 +08:00
### Icons
2018-10-09 00:41:03 +08:00
You may select any of the Font Awesome set of [icons ](https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0/icons/ ).
2018-06-01 16:34:48 +08:00
If you use the name without the fa- prefix (eg `male` ) you will get the icon inside a generic marker shape. If you use the fa- prefix (eg `fa-male` ) you will get the icon on its own.
2017-07-13 00:59:56 +08:00
2019-02-12 00:40:34 +08:00
You can also specify an emoji as the icon by using the :emoji name: syntax - for example `:smile:` . Here is a ** [list of emojis ](https://github.com/dceejay/RedMap/blob/master/emojilist.md )**.
2017-07-13 00:59:56 +08:00
There are also several special icons...
2016-04-01 18:31:07 +08:00
- **plane** : a plane icon that aligns with the bearing of travel.
2016-04-01 18:43:24 +08:00
- **ship** : a ship icon that aligns with the bearing of travel.
2016-04-18 23:57:31 +08:00
- **car** : a car icon that aligns with the bearing of travel.
2017-06-28 16:01:03 +08:00
- **uav** : a small plane icon that aligns with the bearing of travel.
2017-06-26 23:21:55 +08:00
- **arrow** : a map GPS arrow type pointer that aligns with the bearing of travel.
- **wind** : a wind arrow that points in the direction the wind is coming FROM.
2018-05-18 16:59:46 +08:00
- **satellite** : a small satellite icon.
2018-07-16 22:52:33 +08:00
- **iss** : a slightly larger icon for the ISS.
2016-06-06 01:37:17 +08:00
- **locate** : a 4 corner outline to locate a point without obscuring it.
2018-05-18 16:19:47 +08:00
- **friend** : pseudo NATO style blue rectangle.
- **hostile** : pseudo NATO style red circle.
- **neutral** : pseudo NATO style green square.
- **unknown** : pseudo NATO style yellow square.
2018-05-18 16:59:46 +08:00
- **earthquake** : black circle - diameter proportional to `msg.mag` .
2016-04-01 18:31:07 +08:00
2018-06-01 00:32:29 +08:00
#### NATO Symbology
2018-06-02 01:49:08 +08:00
You can use NATO symbols from < a href = "https://github.com/spatialillusions/milsymbol" target = "mapinfo" > milsymbol.js< / a > .
2018-06-01 00:32:29 +08:00
To do this you need to supply a `msg.SIDC` instead of an icon, for example:
2019-02-21 20:39:09 +08:00
msg.payload = { "name": "Emergency Medical Operation",
"lat": 51.05,
"lon": -1.35,
"SIDC": "ENOPA-------",
"options": { "fillOpacity":0.8 }
2018-06-01 00:32:29 +08:00
}
2018-06-01 21:04:06 +08:00
SIDC codes can be generated using the online tool - https://spatialillusions.com/unitgenerator/
2018-06-02 01:49:08 +08:00
There are lots of extra options you can specify as `msg.options` - see the < a href = "https://github.com/spatialillusions/milsymbol/tree/master/docs" target = "mapinfo" > milsymbol docs here</ a > .
2018-06-01 05:50:50 +08:00
2018-05-29 16:04:32 +08:00
### Buildings
2019-02-17 01:40:28 +08:00
The OSM Buildings layer is available in the layers menu. You can replace this with a
building of your own by sending a `msg.payload.command.map` containing an `overlay`
and a `geojson` property. The geojson property should be a GeoJSON Feature Collection
2019-02-21 20:39:09 +08:00
as per the OSMBuildings spec. For example in a function node:
2018-07-04 16:05:41 +08:00
var geo = { "type": "FeatureCollection",
"features": [
{
"type": "Feature",
"properties": {
2018-07-05 15:55:39 +08:00
"color": "rgb(0,0,255)",
"roofColor": "rgb(128,128,255)",
2018-07-04 16:05:41 +08:00
"height": 20,
2018-07-05 15:55:39 +08:00
"minHeight": 0
2018-07-04 16:05:41 +08:00
},
"geometry": {
"type": "Polygon",
"coordinates": [
[
[-1.356221,51.048611],
[-1.356039,51.048672],
[-1.355765,51.048311],
[-1.355937,51.048237],
[-1.356221,51.048611]
]
]
}
}
]
2018-05-29 16:04:32 +08:00
}
2018-07-05 15:55:39 +08:00
var m = {overlay:"Golf Clubhouse", geojson:geo, fit:true};
2018-07-04 16:05:41 +08:00
msg.payload = {command:{map:m, lat:51.0484, lon:-1.3558}};
return msg;
2018-05-29 16:04:32 +08:00
**Note**: the object you supply will replace the whole buildings layer. To delete the building send a msg with a name and the building property set to "" (blank string).
2018-07-01 23:35:35 +08:00
#### Buildings 3D view
2018-07-04 16:05:41 +08:00
A 3D map view has now been added as **worldmap/index3d.html** using the mapbox api - the msg can support `msg.command.pitch` and `msg.command.bearing` to angle the view, for example:
2018-07-01 23:35:35 +08:00
2019-02-21 20:39:09 +08:00
msg.payload = { "command": { "zoom":18, "pitch":60, "bearing":80 } }
2018-07-01 23:35:35 +08:00
The `icon` can be specified as a person, block, bar, or "anything else" - they will render slightly differently - all units are approximate. They will be positioned at the `lat` , `lon` as normal but also at the `msg.payload.height` - where height is in meters above the surface of the map (which may or may not relate to altitude...)
`msg.payload.icon` can be
- person : 1m x 1m x 2m tall
- block : 5m x 5m x 5m cube
- bar : a bar from the surface up to the specified minHeight
- (else) : 1.5m x 1.5m x 1.5m cube
in addition existing male, female, fa-male and fa-female icons are all represented as the person shape.
`msg.iconColor` can be used to colour the icons.
**NOTES**
- There is currently no way to add labels, popups, or make the icons clickable.
- The 3D only really works at zoomed in scales 16+ due to the small size of the icons. They are not scale independent like icons on the normal map.
- As this uses the mapbox api you may wish to edit the index3d.html code to include your api key to remove any usage restrictions.
2019-02-17 01:40:28 +08:00
- This view is a side project to the Node-RED Worldmap project so I'm happy to take PRs but it probably won't be actively developed.
2018-05-29 16:04:32 +08:00
2018-05-18 16:59:46 +08:00
### Areas and Lines
2016-05-31 16:21:25 +08:00
2019-02-17 01:40:28 +08:00
If the msg.payload contains an **area** property - that is an array of co-ordinates, e.g.
2016-04-01 18:31:07 +08:00
2019-02-17 01:40:28 +08:00
... , "area": [ [51.05, -0.08], [51.5, -1], [51.2, -0.047] ], ...
2016-04-01 18:31:07 +08:00
2016-06-06 01:37:17 +08:00
then rather than draw a point and icon it draws the polygon. Likewise if it contains a
**line** property it will draw the polyline.
2016-04-01 18:31:07 +08:00
2018-09-11 18:02:33 +08:00
- **color** : can set the colour of the polygon or line.
- **fillColor** : can set the fill colour of the polygon.
- **fillOpacity** : can set the opacity of the polygon fill colour.
2016-06-06 01:37:17 +08:00
- **name** : is used as the id key - so can be redrawn/moved.
- **layer** : declares which layer you put it on..
2016-04-01 18:31:07 +08:00
2018-05-18 16:59:46 +08:00
### Circles
2016-09-06 20:47:58 +08:00
2019-02-17 01:40:28 +08:00
If the msg.payload contains a **radius** property, as well as name, lat and lon, then rather
2017-06-28 15:53:12 +08:00
than draw a point it will draw a circle. The *radius* property is specified in meters.
2016-09-06 20:47:58 +08:00
2019-02-21 20:39:09 +08:00
msg.payload = { "name":"A3090", "lat":51.05, "lon":-1.35, "radius":3000 }
2018-05-18 16:19:47 +08:00
2018-09-11 18:02:33 +08:00
As per Areas and Lines you may also specify *color* , *fillColor* , and *layer* .
2016-09-06 20:47:58 +08:00
2017-06-28 15:53:12 +08:00
If the payload contains a **sdlat** and **sdlon** property instead of *radius* an ellipse will be drawn. The sdlat and sdlon propertys specify the semi-axes of the ellipse.
These are specified in the Latitude/Longitude format.
2018-05-18 16:59:46 +08:00
### Options
2017-06-26 23:19:05 +08:00
Areas, Lines and Circles can also specify more optional properties:
- color
- fillColor
- stroke
- weight
- opacity
- fill
- fillOpacity
- clickable (if true sets the passed in name as Popup)
2018-05-18 16:59:46 +08:00
## Drawing
2016-04-08 04:35:43 +08:00
2016-06-06 01:37:17 +08:00
A single *right click* will allow you to add a point to the map - you must specify the `name` and optionally the `icon` and `layer` .
2016-04-08 04:35:43 +08:00
Right-clicking on an icon will allow you to delete it.
If you select the **drawing** layer you can also add polylines, polygons and rectangles.
2019-02-17 01:40:28 +08:00
## Events from the map
The **worldmap in** node can be used to receive various events from the map. Examples of messages coming FROM the map include:
2019-02-17 01:58:41 +08:00
{ "action": "connected" } // useful to trigger delivery or redraw of points
{ "action": "disconnect", "clients": 1 } // when a client disconnects - reports number remaining
{ "action": "click", "name":"Jason", "layer":"gps", "icon":"male", "iconColor":"blue", "lat":51.024985, "lon":-1.39698 } // when a marker is clicked
{ "action": "move", "name":"Jason", "layer":"gps", "icon":"male", "iconColor":"blue", "lat":51.044632, "lon":-1.359901 } // when a marker is moved
2019-02-17 17:40:26 +08:00
{ "action": "delete", "name": "Jason" } // when a point or shape is deleted
2016-04-08 04:35:43 +08:00

{ "action": "addlayer", "name": "myLayer" } // when a new map layer is added
{ "action": "dellayer", "name": "myLayer" } // when a new map layer is deleted
2016-04-08 04:35:43 +08:00
2019-02-21 20:22:51 +08:00
{ "action": "button", "name": "My Fancy Button" } // when a user defined button is clicked
2019-02-17 01:58:41 +08:00
All actions also include a `msg._sessionid` property that indicates which client session they came from. Any msg sent out that include this will ONLY to that session - so you can target map updates to certain sessions only if required.
2019-02-17 01:40:28 +08:00
## Controlling the map
2016-04-01 18:31:07 +08:00
2018-12-23 22:30:26 +08:00
You can also control the map via the node, by sending in a msg.payload containing a **command** object. Multiple parameters can be specified in one command.
2016-04-01 18:31:07 +08:00
Optional properties include
- **lat** - move map to specified latitude.
- **lon** - move map to specified longitude.
- **zoom** - move map to specified zoom level (1 - world, 13 to 20 max zoom depending on map).
2019-02-17 01:40:28 +08:00
- **layer** - set map to specified base layer name - `{"command":{"layer":"Esri"}}`
- **search** - search markers on map for name containing `string` . If not found in existing markers, will then try geocoding looking using Nominatim. An empty string `""` clears the search results. - `{"command":{"search":"Winchester"}}`
- **showlayer** - show the named overlay(s) - `{"command":{"showlayer":"foo"}}` or `{"command":{"showlayer":["foo","bar"]}}`
- **hidelayer** - hide the named overlay(s) - `{"command":{"hidelayer":"bar"}}` or `{"command":{"hidelayer":["bar","another"}}`
- **side** - add a second map alongside with slide between them. Use the name of a *baselayer* to add - or "none" to remove the control. - `{"command":{"side":"Esri Satellite"}}`
- **split** - once you have split the screen - the split value is the % across the screen of the split line. - `{"command":{"split":50}}`
2016-04-01 18:31:07 +08:00
- **map** - Object containing details of a new map layer:
2016-06-02 00:19:04 +08:00
- **name** - name of the map base layer OR **overlay** - name of overlay layer
2016-04-01 18:31:07 +08:00
- **url** - url of the map layer
- **opt** - options object for the new layer
2017-06-28 15:53:12 +08:00
- **wms** - boolean, specifies if the data is provided by a Web Map Service
2019-02-17 01:40:28 +08:00
- **bounds** - sets the bounds of an Overlay-Image. 2 Dimensional Array that defines the top-left and bottom-right Corners (lat/lon Points)
2017-03-04 22:13:05 +08:00
- **heatmap** - set heatmap options object see https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet.heat#reference
2017-11-02 01:16:58 +08:00
- **clear** - layer name - to clear a complete layer and remove from layer menu
2019-02-17 01:40:28 +08:00
- **panlock** - lock the map area to the current visible area. - `{"command":{"panlock":true}}`
- **zoomlock** - locks the zoom control to the current value and removes zoom control - `{"command":{"zoomlock":true}}`
2019-02-28 06:05:02 +08:00
- **hiderightclick** - disables the right click that allows adding or deleting points on the map - `{"command":{"hiderightclick":true}}`
2019-02-21 20:22:51 +08:00
- **button** - if supplied with a `name` and `icon` property - adds a button to provide user input - sends
a msg `{"action":"button", "name":"the_button_name"}` to the worldmap in node. If supplied with a `name` property only, it will remove the button. Optional `position` property can be 'bottomright', 'bottomleft',
'topleft' or 'topright' (default).
2016-04-01 18:31:07 +08:00
2018-05-18 16:31:35 +08:00
#### To switch layer, move map and zoom
2016-04-01 18:31:07 +08:00
2019-02-21 20:39:09 +08:00
msg.payload.command = { "layer":"Esri Satellite", "lat":51, "lon":3, "zoom":10 };
2016-04-01 18:31:07 +08:00
2019-02-21 20:39:09 +08:00
#### To add and remove a user defined button
2019-02-21 20:22:51 +08:00
to add a button bottom right
2019-02-21 20:39:09 +08:00
msg.payload.command = { "button": { "name":"My Fancy Button", "icon": "fa-star", "position":"bottomright" } };
2019-02-21 20:22:51 +08:00
When clicked the button will send an event to the `worldmap in` node containing `{"action":"button", "name","My Fancy Button"}` - this can then be used to trigger other map commands or flows.
to remove
2019-02-21 20:39:09 +08:00
msg.payload.command = { "button": { "name":"My Fancy Button" } };
2019-02-21 20:22:51 +08:00
2018-05-18 16:31:35 +08:00
#### To draw a heavily customized Circle on a layer
2017-06-28 15:53:12 +08:00
2018-06-01 06:02:01 +08:00
msg.payload.command = {
2019-02-21 20:39:09 +08:00
"name": "circle",
"lat": 51.515,
"lon": -0.1235,
"radius": 10,
"layer": "drawing",
"iconColor": '#464646',
"stroke": false,
"fillOpacity": 0.8,
"clickable": true
2018-06-01 06:02:01 +08:00
};
2017-06-28 15:53:12 +08:00
2018-05-18 16:31:35 +08:00
#### To add a new base layer
2016-04-01 18:31:07 +08:00
2018-10-03 01:54:09 +08:00
The layer will be called `name` . By default it expects a leaflet Tilelayer style url. You can also use a WMS
style server by adding a property `wms: true` . (see overlay example below)
2018-06-01 06:02:01 +08:00
msg.payload.command.map = {
2019-02-21 20:39:09 +08:00
"name":"OSMhot",
"url":"http://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.fr/hot/{z}/{x}/{y}.png",
"opt":{ "maxZoom":19, "attribution":"© OpenStreetMap" }
2018-06-01 06:02:01 +08:00
};
2016-04-01 18:31:07 +08:00
2018-10-03 01:54:09 +08:00
#### To add a WMS overlay layer - eg US weather radar
To add an overlay instead of a base layer - specify the `overlay` property instead of the `name` .
msg.payload.command.map = {
2019-02-21 20:39:09 +08:00
"overlay": "NowCoast",
"url": "https://nowcoast.noaa.gov/arcgis/services/nowcoast/radar_meteo_imagery_nexrad_time/MapServer/WmsServer?",
"opt": {
"layers": "1",
"format": 'image/png",
"transparent": true,
"attribution": "NOAA/NWS"
2018-10-03 01:54:09 +08:00
},
2019-02-21 20:39:09 +08:00
"wms": true
2018-10-03 01:54:09 +08:00
}
2018-05-18 16:31:35 +08:00
#### To add a new geoJSON overlay
2018-01-03 16:31:02 +08:00
2018-06-01 06:02:01 +08:00
msg.payload.command.map = {
2019-02-21 20:39:09 +08:00
"overlay": "myGeoJSON",
"geojson": { your geojson feature as an object },
"opt": { optional geojson options, style, etc },
"fit": true
2018-06-01 06:02:01 +08:00
};
2018-01-03 16:31:02 +08:00
2018-09-21 05:26:17 +08:00
The geojson features may contain a `properties` property. That may also include a `style` with properties - stroke, stroke-width, stroke-opacity, fill, fill-opacity. Any other properties will be listed in the popup.
The `opt` property is optional. See the < a href = "https://leafletjs.com/examples/geojson/" > Leaflet geojson docs</ a > for more info on possible options. Note: only simple options are supported as functions cannot be serialised.
2018-06-27 03:42:24 +08:00
The `fit` property is optional. If present the map will automatically zoom to fit the area relevant to the geojson.
2019-02-17 01:40:28 +08:00
2018-06-27 03:42:24 +08:00
see http://leafletjs.com/examples/geojson/ for more details about options for opt.
#### To add a new KML, GPX, or TOPOJSON overlay
2018-09-21 05:26:17 +08:00
As per the geojson overlay you can also inject a KML layer, GPX layer or TOPOJSON layer. The syntax is the same but with either a `kml` property containing the KML string - a `gpx` property containing a GPX string - or a `topojson` property containing the topojson.
2018-06-27 03:42:24 +08:00
msg.payload.command.map = {
2019-02-21 20:39:09 +08:00
"overlay": "myKML",
"kml": "< kml > ...your kml placemarks...< / kml > "
2018-06-27 03:42:24 +08:00
};
2018-09-21 05:26:17 +08:00
For GPX and KML layers, it is possible to define which icon to use for point markers by adding the
2018-09-21 03:47:47 +08:00
following properties to `msg.payload.command.map` :
2019-02-17 01:40:28 +08:00
2018-09-21 05:26:17 +08:00
- **icon** : < a href = "https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0/icons/" target = "mapinfo" > font awesome</ a > icon name.
2018-09-21 03:47:47 +08:00
- **iconColor** : Standard CSS colour name or #rrggbb hex value.
2018-06-27 03:42:24 +08:00
Again the `fit` property can be added to make the map zoom to the relevant area.
2018-01-03 16:31:02 +08:00
2018-06-03 23:12:13 +08:00
#### To add a Velocity Grid Overlay
msg.payload.command.map = {
2019-02-21 20:39:09 +08:00
"overlay": "myWind",
"velocity": {
"displayValues": true,
"displayOptions": {
"velocityType": "Global Wind",
"displayPosition": "bottomleft",
"displayEmptyString": "No wind data"
2018-06-03 23:12:13 +08:00
},
2019-02-21 20:39:09 +08:00
"maxVelocity": 15,
"data": [Array of data as per format referenced below]
2018-06-03 23:12:13 +08:00
}
};
see https://github.com/danwild/leaflet-velocity for more details about options and data examples.
2018-05-18 16:31:35 +08:00
#### To add an Image Overlay
2017-07-13 00:59:56 +08:00
2019-02-21 20:39:09 +08:00
in a function node:
2018-06-01 06:02:01 +08:00
var imageBounds = [[40.712216, -74.22655], [40.773941, -74.12544]];
2019-02-21 20:39:09 +08:00
msg.payload = { command : { lat:40.74, lon:-74.175, zoom:13 } };
2018-06-01 06:02:01 +08:00
msg.payload.command.map = {
2019-02-17 01:40:28 +08:00
overlay: "New York Historical",
url: 'http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/historical/newark_nj_1922.jpg',
2018-06-01 06:02:01 +08:00
bounds: imageBounds,
2019-02-17 01:40:28 +08:00
opt: { opacity:1.0, attribution:"© University of Texas" }
2018-06-01 06:02:01 +08:00
};
2017-06-28 15:53:12 +08:00
2018-05-18 16:31:35 +08:00
#### To clear a layer from the map
2018-05-18 16:19:47 +08:00
2018-06-01 06:02:01 +08:00
msg.payload.command.clear = "name of your layer/overlay to remove";
2018-05-18 16:19:47 +08:00
2017-04-20 20:44:19 +08:00
### Using a local Map Server (WMS server)
2018-06-02 01:49:08 +08:00
IMHO the easiest map server to make work is the < a href = "http://www.mapserver.org/" target = "mapinfo" > mapserver< / a > package in Ubuntu / Debian. Usually you will start with
2017-04-20 20:44:19 +08:00
sudo apt-get install mapserver-bin cgi-mapserver gdal-bin
Configuring that, setting up your tiles, and creating a .map file is way beyond the scope of this README so I will leave that as an exercise for the reader. Once set up you should have a cgi process you can run called `mapserv` , and a `.map` file that describes the layers available from the server.
2018-05-18 16:31:35 +08:00
Create and edit these into an executeable file called **mapserv** , located in this node's directory, typically
2017-04-20 20:44:19 +08:00
`~/.node-red/node_modules/node-red-contrib-web-worldmap/mapserv` , for example:
#! /bin/sh
# set this to the path of your WMS map file (which in turn points to your tiles)
MS_MAPFILE=~/Data/maps/uk.map
export MS_MAPFILE
# and set this to the path of your cgi-mapserv executable
/usr/bin/mapserv
You can then add a new WMS Base layer by injecting a message like
msg.payload.command.map = {
2019-02-21 20:39:09 +08:00
"name": "Local WMS",
"url": "http://localhost:1880/cgi-bin/mapserv", // we will serve the tiles from this node locally.
"opt": {
"layers": "gb", // specifies a layer in your map file
"format": "image/png",
"transparent": true,
"attribution": "© Ordnance Survey, UK"
2017-04-20 20:44:19 +08:00
},
2019-02-21 20:39:09 +08:00
"wms": true // set to true for WMS type mapserver
2017-04-20 20:44:19 +08:00
}
2018-05-18 16:59:46 +08:00
## Demo Flow
2016-04-01 18:31:07 +08:00
The following example gets recent earthquakes from USGS, parses the result,
2016-05-31 16:21:25 +08:00
formats up the msg as per above and sends to the node to plot on the map.
2016-04-01 18:31:07 +08:00
It also shows how to zoom and move the map or add a new layer.
