Devlog - 7

A longer coding session spanning two days. I have added a couple of things which have made the tracker better and gives it a more professional look than it was before. Firstly I changed the info panel for the aircraft. Before it was a small pop up which came at the top left of the screen but it wasn’t the best so I made it a sliding panel where it slides out from the left side of the screen. Then what I added is adding the airline name inside the panel when an aircraft is selected before using just the flight tracking API I had to hardcode like the callsign to the actual airline name but now it works using an another API which is used for routes as well. Then I added route information inside the panel and for that I used another API (same as the airline name one) which gives information about from where it departed and where is it going. Then I added a route dashed path which gives the user an idea of the aircraft’s intended path and lastly I added so that the panel refreshes every 5 seconds updating the information inside it. I had the most time struggling with API keys and all but at the end I got it working. You can see the changes in the pictures below. Thank and stay tuned!
