DSO Ground Station — Map Markers & Interaction

Wireframe v3: Drone marker visual encoding, tap-to-filter, and feed cross-reference

v3 / MARKERS
1 — Map Marker Design System

Each drone marker encodes four dimensions: role (color), heading (directional arrow), battery level (arc ring), and operational status (halo effect). Below are all 10 marker states rendered at display size.

2 — Tap-to-Filter Interaction

Tapping a drone marker on the map selects it: the marker enlarges with a bright ring, other markers dim to 0.4 opacity, the mission feed filters to show only that drone's events, and an info card appears near the marker. Tap the "X" on the filter badge or tap empty map space to clear.

3 — Feed-Map Cross-Reference

When a new feed entry appears, the corresponding drone's map marker briefly pulses/glows to draw the operator's eye. Below, the highlighted feed entry is connected by a visual line to its drone marker on the map, demonstrating the text-to-spatial link.
