Place search was Google-only: searchAndFlyTo threw without a key, and with a
key whose Geocoding API is not enabled it returned nothing. Both cases leave
the LOCATION box and the fly_to_location voice tool unable to resolve a name,
even though every other layer in the app works keyless.
src/keylessGeocoder.js adapts Photon (komoot, over OpenStreetMap) into the
shape the Google path already produces — lat/lng, label, Google-style types,
{southwest,northeast} bounds — so geocodeNavigationMode, regionFramingPlan and
the region-swath cap keep running on unchanged inputs. The translation lives at
the boundary and nowhere else; Google remains primary and its branch is
unchanged when it answers.
Detection is the empty result, not an exception: an unenabled Geocoding API
answers HTTP 200 with REQUEST_DENIED. Places near-view recovery is now
attempted only when a key exists, since Places is a Google service too.
Three translations are load-bearing, and each was found by querying the live
service rather than by reasoning about OSM tagging:
- Google's `bounds` PREFERS results inside the box; Photon's `bbox` FILTERS to
it. Sent as a bbox, searching "Ho Guom, Ha Noi" while looking at Austin
returns features: []. Sent as Photon's lat/lon proximity bias it finds the
lake, and "Sixth Street" still resolves to Austin's over Austin and to
England's over London.
- Photon's `extent` is [west, north, east, south]. Read as [w,s,e,n] it yields
an inverted but finite box that frames the camera at nothing.
- A specific OSM key=value rule must beat the coarse `type`. Photon tags a lake
`water=lake` with `type: 'other'` — unmapped, that framed Hoan Kiem Lake as a
precise place and put the camera 26 m over the water — and tags a town square
`type: 'locality'`, which framed Times Square as if it were a city.
searchAndFlyTo no longer throws when no key is present. Both callers already
read a null return as not-found (ui.js renders its miss branch, gevActions
reports ok: false), so the removed throw has no consumer.
Verified end to end through the real search box, with a key Google refuses:
one denied Google geocode, one Photon request, camera from Austin
(30.2700, -97.7400) to 21.0288, 105.8524 — Hoan Kiem Lake to within metres —
and "Ha Noi" framed at province scale. npm test 2604/2604; npm run build
clean; npm run test:track 97/3, the same three failures unmodified main
produces on this machine.
The first formal release.
- One-click install via Pinokio; keyless boot lands on a live Esri World
Imagery satellite globe with keyless terrain, with automatic OSM fallback
and graceful degradation when terrain is unavailable.
- Provider Settings (the POWER UP panel): add, replace, or remove API keys
inside the app; credential files made owner-only before any secret is
written; external keys shown read-only; the panel refuses shared or proxied
servers.
- Keyless capability responses for the optional HUD summary and place search.
- Aircraft-identity voice answers cover operator, type, and route, and say so
plainly when enrichment is unavailable.
- README rewritten keyless-first; concise 0.1.0 changelog section; CI
workflow included.
Gates: 2,672 unit tests pass / 0 fail, build clean, tracking regression
108/108, map-source tray QA pass, setup doctor ready.
