UI / UX Change :desktop_computer:

• Geo-locate button no longer zooms out when turned off

When you click the geo-locate button the map zooms in to your current location:

When you click it again to turn if off, it used to zoom back out again, which was a bit annoying.

The map will now stay put when you turn off geo-locating.

UI / UX Change :desktop_computer:

• Updated marker icons

We’ve moved away from static image marker icons on the map and we’re now using dynamic Font Awesome icons which are much cleaner and sharper.

Other Random Stuff :palm_tree:

We recently launched a Drone Scene Beta Tester Programme and if you’re a Silver or Gold Member you may be eligible to join.

What do you get out of joining the Beta Tester Programme?

  • Early access to every single new feature on Drone Scene the moment it’s been developed
    – Often weeks or months ahead of the feature being rolled out to the public / production version of Drone Scene
  • The opportunity to help steer the direction of new features
  • Access to the Drone Scene (BETA) forum category
    – Shushhhhh, this part is a secret :shushing_face:
  • A very exclusive badge to adorn your profile
    – And who doesn’t love a badge? :star_struck:

What do we need in return?

  • We need the new features testing
    – Before we release them out in the wild :scream:
  • We need you to use the BETA version all the time
    – Instead of the current public / production version
    – And why wouldn’t you? It’s packed with all the shiny new stuff that nobody else has access to yet :star_struck:

If this is something you might be interested in helping us with please get in touch and let us know why you think you’d be a great addition to the group :smiley:
