Mobile Sky Map Gestures And Controls
Navigate MySatVis efficiently on touch devices using mobile-first controls and layout behavior.
Use Compact Controls
On mobile, use the top action row and dialogs to adjust location, time, layers, and satellites without blocking the viewport.
Prefer Focused Layers
Fewer active overlays improve readability and responsiveness on mid-range phones and tablets.
Plan Then Track
Set observer and time first, then apply a short candidate list of satellites for smoother interaction during active tracking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is MySatVis touch-friendly?
Yes. Core dialogs and controls are built for both touch and pointer interaction.
Why does the map feel crowded on smaller screens?
Layer density and labels can overwhelm small viewports. Reduce overlays and focus on essential tracking layers.
