MAIN PANEL
Main View
The Main Panel is an implementation of Google-Maps. It retains most of the functionality normally provided e.g. moving the map around with mouse dragging. By using controls in the surrounding panels, various views can be superimposed. Illustrated above is the path taken by one of the horses [ shown in white ]. Paths for several horses can be shown simultaneously. An option in the Tools Menu allows for the drawing of the inside path.
Sectional-markers are added dynamically and there is provision to add extra detail that may relate to a specific venue.
User Control
Click anywhere on the map to locate the selected horse to a point on the track nearest to the clicked position. If no horse is selected, the group will locate to the nearest track point. Where there are multiple laps in a race, a lap-counter will show mid-map. To switch views between various laps, click multiple times without shifting the mouse position.
