# RFCP - Iteration 7: Elevation Data + UX Polish
## Issues from Iteration 6
1. ❌ **Omni circle visible** - orange circle shows for omni antennas, should be hidden
2. ❌ **Zoom still breaks gradient** - colors shift with zoom (maxIntensity not working?)
3. ❌ **No elevation visualization** - can't see hills/mountains on map
4. ❌ **Sector cloning creates 3 sectors** - should clone 1 at a time
---
## QUICK FIX 1: Hide Omni Coverage Circle
**Problem:** Orange circle shows for omni antennas (360° beamwidth).
**Solution:** Only draw sector wedge for directional antennas (beamwidth < 360).
**File:** `frontend/src/components/map/SiteMarker.tsx`
```typescript
// Only show wedge for directional sectors
{site.sectors.map(sector => (
sector.enabled && sector.beamwidth < 360 && ( // ← ADD THIS CHECK
)
))}
```
---
## QUICK FIX 2: Debug Heatmap Zoom Issue
**Problem:** Colors still change with zoom despite maxIntensity=0.75 fix.
**Debug first:**
**File:** `frontend/src/components/map/Heatmap.tsx`
```typescript
// Add detailed logging
useEffect(() => {
if (import.meta.env.DEV && points.length > 0) {
const rsrpValues = points.map(p => p.rsrp);
const normalizedSample = points.slice(0, 5).map(p => ({
rsrp: p.rsrp,
normalized: normalizeRSRP(p.rsrp)
}));
console.log('🔍 Heatmap Debug:', {
zoom: mapZoom,
totalPoints: points.length,
rsrpRange: `${Math.min(...rsrpValues).toFixed(1)} to ${Math.max(...rsrpValues).toFixed(1)} dBm`,
radius,
blur,
maxIntensity, // ← Should be 0.75
sample: normalizedSample
});
}
}, [points, mapZoom]);
```
**Possible issue:** If `maxIntensity` is still a formula instead of constant 0.75, replace it:
```typescript
// MUST be constant!
const maxIntensity = 0.75; // NOT a formula!
```
---
## QUICK FIX 3: Clone Single Sector
**Problem:** Tri-sector preset creates 3 sectors at once. User wants to clone one sector at a time.
**Solution:** Add "Clone Sector" button per sector.
**File:** `frontend/src/components/panels/SectorConfig.tsx`
```typescript
const cloneSector = (sector: Sector) => {
const newSector: Sector = {
...sector,
id: `s${Date.now()}`, // Unique ID
azimuth: (sector.azimuth + 30) % 360 // Offset by 30°
};
onUpdate([...sectors, newSector]);
};
// In sector item UI:
{sectors.length > 1 && (
)}
```

## FEATURE 1: Elevation Visualization
**What we want:**
1. See elevation (meters above sea level) when hovering cursor
2. Color-coded elevation overlay on map
3. Elevation profile along measurement line
### A. Cursor Elevation Display
**Option 1: Use Open-Elevation API (free, no auth)**
**File:** `frontend/src/hooks/useElevation.ts` (new)
```typescript
import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { useMap } from 'react-leaflet';
import L from 'leaflet';
export function useElevation() {
const map = useMap();
const [elevation, setElevation] = useState(null);
const [position, setPosition] = useState<{ lat: number; lon: number } | null>(null);
const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false);
useEffect(() => {
let timeoutId: number;
let abortController: AbortController;
const handleMouseMove = (e: L.LeafletMouseEvent) => {
setPosition({ lat: e.latlng.lat, lon: e.latlng.lng });
// Debounce API calls (300ms)
clearTimeout(timeoutId);
if (abortController) abortController.abort();
timeoutId = window.setTimeout(async () => {
setLoading(true);
abortController = new AbortController();
try {
const response = await fetch(
`https://api.open-elevation.com/api/v1/lookup?locations=${e.latlng.lat},${e.latlng.lng}`,
{ signal: abortController.signal }
);
const data = await response.json();
setElevation(data.results[0].elevation);
} catch (error) {
if (error.name !== 'AbortError') {
console.error('Elevation fetch failed:', error);
setElevation(null);
}
} finally {
setLoading(false);
}
}, 300);
};
map.on('mousemove', handleMouseMove);
return () => {
map.off('mousemove', handleMouseMove);
clearTimeout(timeoutId);
if (abortController) abortController.abort();
};
}, [map]);
return { elevation, position, loading };
}
```
**Display Component:**
**File:** `frontend/src/components/map/ElevationDisplay.tsx` (new)
```typescript
import { useElevation } from '@/hooks/useElevation';
export function ElevationDisplay() {
const { elevation, position, loading } = useElevation();
if (!position) return null;
return (
📍 {position.lat.toFixed(5)}°, {position.lon.toFixed(5)}°
⛰️ {loading ? 'Loading...' : elevation !== null ? `${elevation}m ASL` : 'N/A'}
);
}
```
**Usage in Map.tsx:**
```typescript
import { ElevationDisplay } from './ElevationDisplay';
{showElevationInfo && }
```
### B. Elevation Color Overlay
**Option: Use Stamen Terrain (color-coded by elevation)**
**File:** `frontend/src/components/map/Map.tsx`
```typescript
{showElevationOverlay && (
)}
```
**Add control:**
```typescript
```
---
## FEATURE 2: Site Templates & Quick Actions
**What:** Preset site configurations for common deployments.
**File:** `frontend/src/components/panels/SiteTemplates.tsx` (new)
```typescript
const SITE_TEMPLATES = {
urban_macro: {
name: 'Urban Macro Site',
height: 30,
power: 43,
frequency: 1800,
sectors: [
{ azimuth: 0, beamwidth: 65, gain: 18 },
{ azimuth: 120, beamwidth: 65, gain: 18 },
{ azimuth: 240, beamwidth: 65, gain: 18 }
]
},
rural_tower: {
name: 'Rural Tower',
height: 50,
power: 46,
frequency: 800,
sectors: [
{ azimuth: 0, beamwidth: 360, gain: 8 } // Omni
]
},
small_cell: {
name: 'Small Cell',
height: 6,
power: 30,
frequency: 2600,
sectors: [
{ azimuth: 0, beamwidth: 90, gain: 12 }
]
},
indoor_das: {
name: 'Indoor DAS',
height: 3,
power: 23,
frequency: 2100,
sectors: [
{ azimuth: 0, beamwidth: 360, gain: 2 }
]
}
};
export function SiteTemplates({ onApply }: { onApply: (template: any) => void }) {
return (
Quick Templates
{Object.entries(SITE_TEMPLATES).map(([key, template]) => (
))}
);
}
```
---
## FEATURE 3: Coverage Analysis Tools
### A. Best Server Map
**What:** Show which site provides best signal at each point (Voronoi-like).
**Implementation:** Color each point by `siteId` instead of RSRP.
**File:** `frontend/src/store/coverage.ts`
```typescript
interface CoverageState {
// ...existing
viewMode: 'signal' | 'best-server'; // NEW
}
// In coverage calculation:
if (viewMode === 'best-server') {
// Color by siteId instead of RSRP
return { lat, lon, siteId, rsrp };
}
```
### B. Coverage Statistics
**What:** Show coverage area, population, percentages.
**File:** `frontend/src/components/panels/CoverageStats.tsx` (new)
```typescript
export function CoverageStats({ points, sites }: Props) {
const totalArea = calculateArea(points); // km²
const coverageByLevel = {
excellent: points.filter(p => p.rsrp > -70).length,
good: points.filter(p => p.rsrp > -85 && p.rsrp <= -70).length,
fair: points.filter(p => p.rsrp > -100 && p.rsrp <= -85).length,
weak: points.filter(p => p.rsrp <= -100).length
};
return (
Coverage Analysis
Total Coverage Area:
{totalArea.toFixed(1)} km²
Excellent (> -70 dBm):
{(coverageByLevel.excellent / points.length * 100).toFixed(1)}%
Good (-85 to -70 dBm):
{(coverageByLevel.good / points.length * 100).toFixed(1)}%
Fair (-100 to -85 dBm):
{(coverageByLevel.fair / points.length * 100).toFixed(1)}%
Weak (< -100 dBm):
{(coverageByLevel.weak / points.length * 100).toFixed(1)}%
);
}
```
---
## FEATURE 4: Import/Export Sites
**What:** Save/load site configurations as JSON/CSV.
**File:** `frontend/src/components/panels/SiteImportExport.tsx` (new)
```typescript
export function SiteImportExport() {
const { sites, setSites } = useSitesStore();
const exportSites = () => {
const json = JSON.stringify(sites, null, 2);
const blob = new Blob([json], { type: 'application/json' });
const url = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
const a = document.createElement('a');
a.href = url;
a.download = `rfcp-sites-${Date.now()}.json`;
a.click();
toast.success('Sites exported');
};
const importSites = async (file: File) => {
try {
const text = await file.text();
const imported = JSON.parse(text);
setSites(imported);
toast.success(`Imported ${imported.length} sites`);
} catch (error) {
toast.error('Invalid file format');
}
};
return (
Import/Export
e.target.files?.[0] && importSites(e.target.files[0])}
/>
);
}
```
---
## FEATURE 5: 3D Terrain View (Future - Phase 4)
**What:** Optional 3D view with MapLibre GL + terrain data.
**Teaser for later:**
- MapLibre GL for 3D rendering
- Real terrain elevation from SRTM files
- Line-of-sight visualization
- 3D buildings in cities
