• You can pan around with the mouse by dragging
• You can zoom with mouse wheel
• Planes on map
  • Reads readsb-protobuf aircraft.pb from URL every n milliseconds

Future

• Read aircraft positions from message bus
• Draw paths and stuff (polyline) on map
• Add scale (ref: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Slippy_map_tilenames#Resolution_and_Scale)
• Add UI buttons for zoom, paths, labels etc
