Modes of Operation:

Default Operation - As you move your cursor, location updates are sent to the device(s) at an interval determined by the 'Mouse Sample Rate'. Your speed will depend in how fast you move your mouse, and the zoom level of the map.

Buffer and Release Mode - Quickly trace a path on the map with your cursor, location updates along the path are release every 200ms. When this mode is enabled, all cursor movement will be treated as paths and buffered for release. Turning off Buffer and Release Mode will clear all unreleased location updates for recorded paths.

Streetview Mode - Dropping the orange street view guy on the map will switch to Streetview mode. Location updates are sent to the device(s) as you 'drive around'. You can move as per usual using either the mouse or the directional keys.

The application has the following features:

Sampling Rate Slider - Adjusts how often the GPS location of the mouse is sent to the device(s). The default value is 120ms.

Altitude Slider - Adjusts the altitude of the GPS location. The default value is 2m.

Pause key - Holding the 'P' key on the keyboard will pause GPS location updates on the device while you find the starting position on the map for example.

Pause while dragging - GPS updates are paused when dragging the map to enable you to move your desired path into view if you reach the edge of the page.

Bearings - Movement bearings are automatically calculated based on your last mouse position and included in the GPS fix.
