Doc: Trail Atlas Features

The beesayatv Trail Atlas combines documented hiking routes, field observations, and supporting map information into a single interactive map. The following features are available within the Atlas.

  • Interactive Cebu trail map — Displays documented hiking routes across Cebu on an interactive map.
  • Map basemaps — Switch between Map, Satellite, and Topographic views to examine routes under different map styles. Your selected basemap is remembered for future visits.
  • Focus Mode — Selecting a trail highlights the active route while reducing the visual emphasis of unrelated routes.
  • Route details panel — Displays summary information and provides a direct link to the corresponding trail report when a route is selected.
  • Adaptive route styling — Route lines automatically adjust their appearance to remain visible across different basemap styles.
  • Trail segmentation — Some documented routes are divided into segments to better represent difficulty level changes along the route while improving map readability.
  • Direction chevrons — Indicates the documented direction of travel along the selected route without functioning as turn-by-turn navigation.
  • Start markers and text bubble — Clearly identifies the recorded beginning of the selected documented route.
  • Trail search — Quickly locate documented trails directly from the Atlas search box.
  • Standard Points of Interest (POIs) — Displays persistent locations such as transportation-related points that remain visible independently of any selected trail.
  • Context Points of Interest (POIs) — Shows field-documented locations associated with a selected trail, including water sources, stores, houses, campsites, and other points encountered during documentation.
  • Habal-habal routes layer — Displays an optional layer showing documented motorcycle access routes that can assist in reaching trail areas.
  • Habal routes toggle — Allows the Habal-habal routes layer to be shown or hidden independently of the documented hiking routes.
  • Legend — Explains the meaning of route colours, markers, and other map symbols used throughout the Atlas.
  • Locate Me — Uses your device’s location, with permission, to center the map near your current position.
  • Explorer Mode — Expands the Trail Atlas into full view for a more immersive browsing experience, particularly on smaller screens.
