At present, GeoPort only supports navigation along existing map routes when selecting a location. This limits flexibility for users who want to simulate more dynamic or custom movement scenarios — for example, random walking, patrol loops, or moving through areas without predefined roads.
Proposed Enhancement
Add support for free movement and custom route definition, including:
-
Free Movement Mode
- Allow users to freely drag or move the location point anywhere on the map, not constrained by existing roads.
- Options to control movement speed, pause, resume, and accelerate.
-
Custom Route Mode
- Let users manually draw paths or set multiple waypoints directly on the map.
- Automatically move along the defined waypoints in sequence.
- Ability to save and load custom routes.
-
Multiple Movement Styles
- Support linear motion, smooth curved transitions, or random offset movement.
- Simulate different travel types such as walking, cycling, or driving with adjustable speeds.
Expected Benefits
This feature would make GeoPort much more powerful for:
- Testing location-based apps with dynamic path behavior;
- Creating fine-grained virtual movement paths for development or demonstration.
