## Testing the Interface

### 1. Test Upload Functionality

**With T-Embed capture**:
```bash
# File: signatures/t-embed-rf/raw_7.sub
# Frequency: 915 MHz
# GPS: (your coordinates)
```

Upload via web interface and verify:
- File appears in list
- Upload succeeds
- Device identified (if in database)
- Marker appears on map

### 2. Test Map Display

Open map view and verify:
- Map loads correctly
- Markers display (if captures exist)
- Clustering works
- Popups show details
- Frequency filter functions

### 3. Test Search

Search for:
- "915" in query field
- 915 MHz in frequency dropdown
- "RAW" in protocol dropdown

Verify results appear correctly.

### 4. Test Statistics

Navigate to Statistics and verify:
- Summary cards update
- Charts render
- Data reflects actual database contents

---

## Browser Compatibility

**Tested on**:
- ✅ Chrome 120+
- ✅ Firefox 120+
- ✅ Edge 120+
- ✅ Safari 17+

**Required features**:
- JavaScript ES6+
- Fetch API
- Geolocation API (for current location)
- CSS Grid / Flexbox

---

## Performance Considerations

### Map Performance

**With clustering enabled**:
- Can handle 10,000+ markers smoothly
- Clustering radius: 50px
- Spiderfy on max zoom

**Without clustering**:
- Recommended limit: ~500 markers
- Consider pagination for large datasets

### Upload Performance

**File size limits**:
- Max .sub file size: 1 MB (recommended)
- Max batch upload: 100 files or 50 MB
- Upload timeout: 60 seconds

### Chart Performance

**Data points**:
- Frequency chart: All frequency bands
- Timeline chart: Last 90 days (recommended)

---

## Customization

### Colors

Edit `static/css/main.css`:
```css
:root {
    --primary-color: #2563eb;     /* Blue */
    --secondary-color: #7c3aed;   /* Purple */
    --success-color: #10b981;     /* Green */
    --danger-color: #ef4444;      /* Red */
}
```

### Frequency Colors

Edit `static/js/map.js`:
```javascript
const FREQUENCY_COLORS = {
    315: '#10b981',  // Green
    433: '#3b82f6',  // Blue
    868: '#f59e0b',  // Orange
    915: '#ef4444',  // Red
};
```

### Map Settings

Edit `static/js/map.js`:
```javascript
// Default center and zoom
map = L.map('map').setView([39.8283, -98.5795], 4);

// Cluster radius
markerClusterGroup = L.markerClusterGroup({
    maxClusterRadius: 50,  // Adjust clustering distance
});
```

## Known Issues

### 1. Database Connection

**Issue**: API requires PostgreSQL connection
**Workaround**: Use SQLite mode (already configured)
**Fix**: Run `scripts/quick_db_setup.sh` for PostgreSQL

### 2. No Captures Display

**Issue**: Map shows no markers on first load
**Reason**: No captures in database yet
**Fix**: Upload .sub files via upload page

### 3. Heatmap Toggle

**Issue**: Heatmap view shows "coming soon" alert
**Status**: Planned for Phase 4
**Workaround**: Use marker clustering

---

## Next Steps (Phase 4)

### API & Integration (Weeks 7-8)

1. **RESTful API enhancements**
   - Pagination for large datasets
   - Advanced filtering
   - Sorting options

2. **Authentication**
   - JWT token system
   - API key generation
   - User registration

3. **Rate Limiting**
   - Request throttling
   - IP-based limits
   - User-based quotas

4. **Export Features**
   - CSV export
   - GeoJSON export
   - KML export
   - .sub file download

5. **Client Libraries**
