Add Google maps-style controls to 3D mapper

Open vadi2 opened this issue 4 months ago • 3 comments

Description of requested feature:

Lets revamp the current unintuitive controls and instead adopt industry-leading practices on how controls for 3D views work instead, inspired by Google maps.

  1. clicking and dragging should drag on the current plane
  2. ctrl+clicking and dragging should rotate the plane in all axis
  3. on-screen compass to help orient
  4. remove existing plethora of view control buttons

clicking and dragging should drag on the current plane

Nitpick: the behavior in the video is clicking and dragging translating the focus point on the x/y plane regardless of camera position/axis. I think this is also what we want for the 3D map and I suppose that's what you meant anyway.

Nitpick:

  1. ctrl+clicking and dragging should rotate the plane in all axis

This is not only true for CTRL but also for SHIFT + drag
