Explorer guide

The Explorer is the fastest way to build intuition for LocateTile.

What the Explorer does​

  • Draws LocateTile grid lines at a primary level derived from the current zoom
  • Draws the two levels beneath the primary level with fainter styling
  • Lets you build a region as a portable, comma-separated list of tile IDs

Text box: "Click on map or enter tile IDs"​

The text box accepts a comma-separated list of canonical tile IDs:

lt:12:2031:1187, lt:12:2032:1187
  • Clicking the map selects the tile at the primary level under the cursor and appends its ID.
  • Pasting IDs renders and highlights those tiles.

To reach feature parity with the H3 Indexes UI:

  1. Zoom drives primary level
  2. Click selects primary tile
  3. Selected tiles are listed as canonical IDs
  4. Paste IDs reproduces the selection deterministically

Screenshots​

Add screenshots here once the Explorer UI is stabilized:

  • Primary vs secondary vs tertiary grid lines
  • Click-to-add tile IDs
  • Paste-to-render and zoom-to-selection
