I set up a home-office wall display screen showing the Piaware/dump1090 web map. To make the map look better as a non-interactive wall display, I needed to expose some extra controls over the visual options that weren't currently configurable via URL parameters.

This PR adds a few URL parameters for visual controls. Other than aircraftLabelDetails, which is new, all of these change just expose existing options as URL parameters.

  • aircraftLabels: toggle labels on/off
  • aircraftLabelDetails: add ICAO aircraft type to the labels
  • zoom: set absolute zoom level
  • lat/lon: set map centerpoint latitude/longitude
  • baseLayer: pre-select a specific map base layer
