Call it a gut feeling. TacTrace now supports oddly shaped arrows. tactrace.orbat-mapper.app

ORBAT Mapper @orbatmapper.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

TacTrace now supports terrain. The pin placement mode is experimental. Try it out at tactrace.orbat-mapper.app

New hobby. Recreating illustrations from FM 3-90 Tactics in TacTrace tactrace.orbat-mapper.app

I love the WWII-era cartography style.

ORBAT Mapper @orbatmapper.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

I’m building a lightweight tool for drawing tactical graphics. An early preview is live at tactrace.orbat-mapper.app if you want to test it out. Feedback and bug reports are welcome!

I've had some fun recently putting together a basic text to ORBAT tool. Try it out at orbat-mapper.app/text-to-orbat/

I recently had some fun experimenting with animations in MapLibre You can try a live demo at orbat-mapper.github.io/experiment-m... and experiment with the code at github.com/orbat-mapper...

Maplibre animation testing. Decent performance with 400 features.

Cry "Havoc!", and let slip the dogs of war. Custom unit icons research phase is now over. I now have enough information to implement this as a feature.

ORBAT Mapper @orbatmapper.bsky.social · 09/10/2025

Upcoming feature. Render unit labels below the unit symbol instead of as part of the symbol. A nice side effect is automatic label de-cluttering.

020

ORBAT Mapper @orbatmapper.bsky.social · 28/09/2025

New feature added to the KML/KMZ exporter: export selected units only

030

ORBAT Mapper @orbatmapper.bsky.social · 21/09/2025

ORBAT Mapper's KML/KMZ exporter now has an option for rendering symbol text modifiers. A niche feature, but useful when you need it.

Für mein Exocet im Falklandkrieg Video habe ich das erste Mal @orbatmapper.bsky.social benutzt. Wenn auch in bescheidenem Maße. Das hat mich sehr gefreut, weil ich vor Jahren wegen einer Falkland Karte auf Orbat Mappet aufmerksam geworden bin 😃

Someone should create and post the Imperial Camel Corps Brigade ORBAT. #ORBATBoys I'm curious which unit symbol you would use for the 265th (Camel) Machine Gun Squadron.

I recently upgraded ORBAT Mapper to use Tailwind 4. Let me know if I broke something.

ORBAT Mapper @orbatmapper.bsky.social · 22/03/2025

I've taken a short break from ORBAT Mapper to work on other projects. I'm still focusing on the other projects, but I've started to add features to ORBAT Mapper based on what I've learned github.com/orbat-mapper...

This is my favorite kind of article 😍 Thank you for mentioning my tool in the references section.

Got tired of searching for units in the ORBAT panel, so I added a button and a keyboard shortcut "l" to jump straight to the active unit. #dogfooding

ORBAT Mapper @orbatmapper.bsky.social · 08/02/2025

New panel for selecting units by symbol icon is now available for testing. Expect bugs.

050

ORBAT Mapper @orbatmapper.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

More unit selection experiments. This time based on the 2525/APP6 symbol identification code.

I spend too much time worrying about range rings and map projection distortions.

ORBAT Mapper @orbatmapper.bsky.social · 12/01/2025

Partial scenario import of supplies, equipment and personnel should now work 🤞

ORBAT Mapper @orbatmapper.bsky.social · 22/12/2024

Flame graphs are awesome for debugging frontend performance problems. They show where in the code your program spends most time.

040

ORBAT Mapper @orbatmapper.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

Time varying equipment and personnel is now available for testing. I'm not convinced the current user interface is the best, but it is a start. I appreciate any feedback on how to improve it.

140

ORBAT Mapper @orbatmapper.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

I have added a few new options to the scenario data importer. You can now import equipment, personnel and unit statues from other scenarios. I'll also add unit templates and supplies when implemented.

020

ORBAT Mapper @orbatmapper.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

Added a niche feature to ORBAT Mapper today. Map configuration is now loaded from a JSON file that you can modify after building the app. Useful if you want to run the tool on a system without internet access.

130

ORBAT Mapper @orbatmapper.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

I just added a few more options for placing labels on features. You can also add labels to lines and polygons now. Not exactly tactical graphics, but it is a start.

120

ORBAT Mapper @orbatmapper.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

I accidentally enabled labels for line and polygon features. More placement options will come.

ORBAT Mapper @orbatmapper.bsky.social · 16/11/2024

Adding dark mode to ORBAT Mapper is tedious work. Landing page is starting to look decent.
