Map

This image shows a piece of the map. There are some red and grey dots visible. These dots represent the measured accespoints at that position. The size and density of the dot represent the measured strength, so a larger full red dot means a better signal than a small see-through dot. The colour of the dots correspond with the colour showing next to their names on the layer switcher. This should improve usability when looking for a certain layer.

Layer Switcher

The layer switcher is a custom one, replacing the standard OpenLayers switcher. The perks of this custom one, is that it can be customized. It has some basic features like showing the existing layers and toggling them on or off, but each layer also has a colourbox next to it, and a remove button (the 'X' behind each layer).

Also, there are now four categories. Notice that the categories "User" and "Node" have a link next to it, "Add all users" and "Add all nodes". When clicked, they will generate a single layer for every user or node, with a different random colour for each. Apart from the "Default layers" category where all the default layers will appear, there is a "Custom" category where all you customized layers will appear once you've made them.

Nodelist

The nodelist shows a list of available nodes at the position where you clicked with your mouse. This can come in handy when you have a lot of layers enabled, and you want to know if there are any nodes at that position. Or maybe you only have the basic layers enabled but want a quick look at the available nodes at a certain location.

Slider

The slider is linked to the "Signal strength" layer. Say you move the slider's values to 50-75, the yellow layer will only show points measured within that specific signal range.
