New Feature
• Display member details in Location Details Panel
– Requested by @milkmanchris
We’ve added a shiny new switch under the map which hopefully won’t need too much explaining 
This is the Ronseal of switches as it allows you to quickly toggle between displaying Location details or Member details.
Sliding the switch over to Members will display the profile details of the members that are visible on the map at the time.
As you pan around the map and zoom in / out the details of the members are updated in realtime, based on the members which are visible on the map at the time 
When you slide the switch over to Members we also turn off your other layers, to give you a clear view of the Members.
Sliding the switch back to Locations will turn your previous map layers back on.
You can add yourself to the Members Map by updating your profile.

• Click on Member Details to centre them on the map
– Requested by @DeanoG60
Further to the above new feature that now displays member details below the map, @DeanoG60 suggested clicking on the member name should automatically move the map and centre it on that member, so you can quickly see exactly where they are.
We’ve added a reminder popup here for you too.
And clicking on that person will then centre the map on them.
Thanks for the feature request, Deano!

• The “Recent Locations” details section now only displays the locations you can see on the map
– Requested by @Crackerjack
When zooming in and out on the map, the “Recent Locations” panel below the map always displayed, well, the recently added locations 
Andy @Crackerjack thought it would be a great idea if the details listed below the map reflected the details of locations that were visible on the map at any given time.
We thought this was a great idea too 
We’ve updated the Locations section below the map and put some changes in place that now update the details of the locations with only the details of the location markers that you can see at the time.
This is done on the fly, as you zoom in / out and pan around the map, ensuring only relevant information is displayed below the map
Thanks Andy @Crackerjack for submitting a great feature request!

• Get the coordinates for anywhere on the map
Carmel @cduncan suggested it would be useful to be able to see or find the coordinates for any given point or place on the map.
We’ve expanded our new Circle Tool to now also display the co-ordinates of where you click on the map.
To find the coordinates simply turn on the Circle Tool:
Then click anywhere on the map to place the circle / pointer.
The coordinates are now displayed in the box at the top left:
Even better still, if you click on the displayed coordinates they will be automatically copied to your clipboard so you can paste them anywhere you like
Thanks for submitting a feature request @cduncan

UI / UX Change
• All other map layers are now turned off when clicking the Members Map link from the forum
– Requested by @OzoneVibe
If you use the hamburger menu on the forum to jump straight to the Members Map on Drone Scene we now turn off all other map layers, leaving just the Members Map layer on.
This gives you a clutter-free view of the members and where they are.
But don’t worry, you won’t need to manually turn your preferred layers back on again manually 
Just click the Switch back to your own preferred layers? link at the top of the page and we’ll turn back on the layers that we just turned off:

UI / UX Change
• Added member Social Network details to their profile details
– Requested by @milkmanchris
When viewing a member on the map we now also include all their social media links to give them even greater exposure 
Don’t forget to add or update your social media links on your profile to get even more exposure when we share your content on social media

Bug Fix
• Parking and TOAL markers were not being removed from the map when using certain tools
When you use the Local Authority Lookup tool or the Elevation Tool we remove all markers, all layers, everything from the map to give you a clear view for the tool you’re using.
The relatively new feature of Parking and TOAL markers were not being removed and were still visible 
Similarly, the Parking and TOAL markers were also not being removed from the map if you turned off the Locations layer

Bug Fix
• Hovering over a Location or Member icon on the map only shows their name once
– Reported by @Jhdee
John found a bug on the Safari browser which meant that if you hovered your mouse over a Location or Member icon it would only show their name once.
Hovering over for a second time resulted in an empty box with no name appearing 
Thanks for the bug report, John!
