Initial Build (Complete)

This tracks the things that have been done on SLM2 to take it to a first release.

It won't necessarily reach feature parity with SLM1 before a release, but will get close. Any missing features can be added after an initial release.

SLM2 Feature Parity (In Progress)

Here's the list of upcoming features that will get added to the new version of SimonLikesMaps. The goal here is to get to the same level of functionality as the old SLM so that the old one can then be turned off. They are roughly in priority order.

• [x] GPX export
• [ ] Plan sharing
• [ ] Port remaining help content
  • [ ] Link help to maps / overlays
• [ ] Tools: Location picker

• [ ] JWT renew tokens to persist session past 30 days
• [ ] Tools: Print screen
• [ ] Plan/Route printing

Bugs

• [x] Clone plan model for plan settings modal
• [ ] Manage map visibility at extremes
• [ ] Strip cookies from GetCapabilities requests
• [ ] Audit elevation calcs - seem quite high
• [ ] PlanEditor vertical scrolling broken in iOS/Safari

Feedback

• [x] Make entire search row clickable
• [ ] View feature settings automatically when first created (not not thereafter unless requested)
