See ETA at a glance on the map view aircraft tag

Control whether the map auto-focuses when an aircraft goes active

Problem: When an aircraft becomes active, the live map automatically zooms and re-centres on it. If that aircraft is outside the area the user is monitoring, the view is pulled away from where they are working, which is disruptive. Desired outc...

See all aircraft tail numbers without zooming in when they overlap on the map

Problem: When several aircraft are close together on the map, their tail-number tags stack on top of each other, so users have to zoom right in to tell them apart. Desired outcome: Keep a wide view of the map and still read each aircraft's tail nu...
