Design layer approach to Map view. #150

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
In order to facilitation third-party additions to the core Flight Map, we are 
thinking of designing a Layer system, wherein logically related data to be 
displayed will belong to a layer.  Layers would be able to draw items on the 
map, react to events and be enabled, disabled and/or configured through user 
preferences.

Typical layers might include:
-  Airports
-  Airspaces
-  Navaids
-  Terrain
-  Weather
-  Sectional charts
-  etc.

Prior to any refactoring, we need to write a design doc sketching how this 
approach would operate.  In particular, it should address issues related to 
extensibility and performance.
