No search limit, spot counts, grid4 promotion, map spot colors

This entry is based on a converted groups.io post, put here for any documentation value.

Hi, instead of starting a new thread for feature updates, I'll just reply to this.

A few changes I made worth noting:

1. No more "Limit" input

Now the page does "the right thing" and you can stop guessing what number to put in there.

2. Now you get a count of the spots found with your search

3. Grid4 promotion

In some cases, it is useful to map the grid4 value despite not having a full grid6.

These cases are defined to be:

• the first spot

• any gap between spots where the grid4 lands on a different grid not already covered by either neighbor

• the most recent spot, provided enough time has gone by that the encoded telemetry should have arrived already

4. Grid4 colored differently on the map

The blue marks are for grid6, and orange for grid4.

Can be helpful for sporadic reception where interesting locations were passed over but only grid4 received.

Can also be a little unhelpful if the spot is clearly not lined up with the trend.

The mode of the page which only uses grid4 is all orange.

5. Popups

Now you can click on any spot and see a cut-down selection of data available about that spot.

Grid6 points have more data available than grid4.

Thanks.
