The operator profile is stored locally and optionally synced to the cloud when authenticated.
Jurisdiction
Set your operating jurisdiction to configure region-specific defaults:
- Altitude limits: Sets default maximum altitude based on local regulations
- Distance limits: Sets default maximum distance for geofence suggestions
Available jurisdictions include FAA (United States), DGCA (India), CASA (Australia), EASA (Europe), and ICAO (global fallback).
Persistence
All settings are stored in IndexedDB using Zustand’s persist middleware. This means:
- Settings survive browser restarts
- Settings are specific to the browser/device
- Clearing browser data resets all settings
- Cloud sync (when authenticated) can back up and restore settings across devices
Export your settings to a JSON file as a backup before clearing browser data or switching devices.
Parameter Panel Settings
The parameter browser has its own settings for column visibility and filter presets. These are covered in the Parameters page.
