IK5FKA-Y Current Readings

After more than a month of development, the fourth major update of the site has launched! This update is unique from the past updates as it brings only a few new features but more than 50 bug fixes. While short on new features, it includes the very first top-down re-write of the web app code since it was first created. One new feature that should be useful is "Track My Location".

Track My Location periodically updates a special marker shown on the map with the location reported by the web browser. The location icon in the top right corner will turn red to indicate that your location is being tracked. For registered guests, this feature can be set to turn on automatically when visiting the site.

This release brings a total of 6 new map overlaps to OpenStreetMaps to help with that. This includes hiking and cycling trails, mountain bike trails, ski slopes, even railroads and Sea maps! These crowd-sourced map overlays are available for Leaflet (OpenStreetMaps) only.

As with any major software update, there will likely be bugs that haven't been caught in testing. Please contact us to share feedback or report problems.
