OpenBanners Overlay

Route map overlay and mission tracker for Ingress mission banners.
New in version 42
Mission Day plans from openbanners.org: share a plan (or tap "Start in OpenBanners Overlay" on the plan page) and the overlay follows the missions that aren't done yet, in the plan's order, as one route. Going on from a mission ticks it off in the plan for everyone.
OpenBanners Overlay is a companion app for doing mission banners in Ingress Prime.

Share a banner link from OpenBanners or Bannergress with the app and it shows a small overlay on top of Ingress:

• A route map at the top of the screen with the steps of your current mission (labelled 1a, 1b, …), the start of the next mission, and your own position. It zooms so your nearest open steps are always in view.
• Mission controls: see which mission you are on and open the next mission in Ingress with one tap.
• Steps are ticked off automatically when you get within range, with an optional notification.
• Optionally copy the mission number to the clipboard for passphrase missions.
• Optionally show the whole banner: completed missions, the current one and the ones still ahead, each in its own colour.
• Choose your own colours for the current mission, upcoming missions, completed steps and your position.
• Keep the map north up, or let it turn with your compass.
• Arrange the mission card your way: choose and reorder its buttons, and make it wide, tall, smaller or larger.
• Share your layout with friends, or import theirs.

The overlay lets touches pass through to Ingress, so you can keep playing as usual.
