Aircraft Tracking
Aircraft Tracking keeps the selected drone centred on the map view during flight and marks any detected incursion aircraft in the airspace around your operation.
Auto-Follow
When Auto-Follow is enabled, the map camera automatically pans to keep the active drone centred as it moves. This is the default mode during active flights.
Enabling Auto-Follow
- Click the Auto-Follow icon in the map toolbar (crosshair icon), or
- Click the drone icon on the map to snap back to it after manual panning.
Auto-Follow disables temporarily when you pan the map manually. It re-engages when you click the drone icon or use the toolbar toggle.
Incursion Markers
When the Drone Defence system detects a nearby aircraft, it is shown on the map as an incursion marker. The marker includes:
- Aircraft icon oriented toward its bearing
- Label showing estimated distance
- Zone ring overlay (warning or critical) indicating proximity threshold
See Drone Defence for alert configuration.
Flight Path Trail
During flight, the drone’s historical path is drawn as a coloured line on the map. The trail fades over time to indicate recency. Trail colour and length are configurable in map settings.
