+=== Live View === #live-view
+By default when opening the Web UI the //Live// tab/view is selected. The main
+purpose of the //Live// view is to present a quick high-level overview of
+various Observation points and Observer positions.
+
+The major UI components in the //Live// view, annotated in [#fig1-1 figure 1.1] are:
+  1. Observation Type and Observers selection
+  2. Observer tracking
+  3. Latest Data panel
+  4. Plot
+  5. Map
+  
+==== 1. Observation Type and Observers Selection
+The selected Observer Type in conjunction with the authentication state will
+determine which Observers are accessible - that is will provide data - and visible
+in the Observers selection and on the Map.
+
+When opened the Observers selection provides information on:
+  * accessible Observers
+  * last contact from an Observer - if latest contact (ping) is more than
+    1 minute ago a specific time-stamp is shown instead of a short //OK//
+
+Clicking on an Observer in the list will focus and zoom in the Map on
+the latest Observer position as shown in [#fig1-1 figure 1.2].
+
+The latest Observer position is either the latest Observation position or the
+latest AIS position, whichever has the newer time-stamp.
+
+==== 2. Observer Tracking
+Enabling tracking for an Observer will focus and zoom in the Map on the
+selected Observer's latest position. The map will continuously update itself and
+"follow" the Observer's latest positions automatically on each successive position
+update, as shown in [#fig1-3 figure 1.3].
+
+==== 3. Latest Data Panel
+The Latest Data Panel samples the latest Observations of all available Observation
+Types over all the available Observers and automatically updates itself as the
+Observations are coming in.
+
+==== 4. Plot
+Similarly to the Latest Data Panel the Plot aggregates Observations over all
+available Observers and their Observations.
+
+==== 5. Map
+The Map reacts to user input from the Observation Type and Observers selection
+and can be navigated independently by utilizing the mouse for dragging and zooming.
+Explicit buttons for controlling zooming are located in the left upper corner of
+the Map.
