Markers
Tools for placing, finding, deleting, and querying markers and map items on the ATAK map.
Use place_marker to create new markers, find_items to search for
existing map items by callsign, delete_markers to remove markers by
name or within a geographic area, and get_self_position to get the
operator's current location.
When the operator asks for a marker relative to a known point (e.g. "100m
north of me", "500m at bearing 270 from Bravo"), call get_self_position
(or resolve the reference item) first, then calc_destination to project
the new lat/lon, then place_marker. Do not compute the offset yourself —
arithmetic on coordinates drifts on small on-device models.
