NEW Map Customizations Released Today! 🗺️

We just launched a BUNCH of new Map Customizations for the web today! :tada:

  • Maps now have a working map key! You can match the color to the band and the pin shape to the mode
  • Marker labels are now available in all map views
  • More customization options
  • Globe view is available in all maps and map share!

Give it a shot when you get a chance and let us know what you think! And use the Report a Bug button if you notice any issues with it :slightly_smiling_face:

In the next phase, we will allow you to share your themes with other users in the Map Theme Library!

Apologies if you have a theme already created, since it is a major change, it will reset your current theme. But once we release the library, you will be able to save multiple themes and come back to them!

James, is this the only way the users are notified of updates such as this? If so, may I suggest some sort of “push” notification on the WRL logger itself to bring them over to this site? If I hadn’t happened to be scrolling the Topics section I never would have seen it.

And if it’s obviously stated somewhere else please clue me in. Thanks.

@W7YBY the main place for feature updates is our weekly email! We send a summary there.

We also have a weekly livestream where we demo the new features in YouTube and we make social media posts throughout the week.

We have also been thinking about adding a pop up in the app with new features, similar to what you are mentioning - I think it’s a good idea!

@N0WRL Will this map update be in the mobile app soon? It looks great!

This is the first I’ve heard of the weekly email. I went through my Trash and Spam folders and didn’t see anything so where do I go to sign up?
