Updates

• Now uses mercator projection for display the airplanes on the map.

• Add Mouse and touchscreen controls! This allows moving the map center location, as well as choosing the display mode. See the --touchscreen option for displaying zoom controls for platforms such as the raspberry pi.

• Airport data can be downloaded from mborsetti/airportsdata and imported using the --airports and --airports-tz-filter option. The following shows all airports big and small near my data collection site. The following is an example of zooming out and seeing all New_York and Chicago time zone airports. This looks pretty cool even if it's very not useful :) And Coverage!

• --cities are now named --locations

• Range and Distance checks are now added, fixing some long standing bugs with mis-decoding lat/lon positions. (!101)

• Added Help tab with a table of key bindings: (!107)

• Thanks @Jachdich for fixing a bug in radar with time: (!57)

adsb_deku (library)

• Thanks @amacd31 for fixing a bug in CPR calculations. (!78).
• Thanks @mikemorris for fixing a link in my README.md. (!61).

dump1090

• Now uses the soapysdr library for multi-sdr platforms support through the soapysdr-rs crate. Currently tested are the rtl-sdr and the hackrf support. If you test this on new SDR platforms, merge requests welcome for default gain settings!
