Version 2024.3.5
New satellite, street, and finally a topographic map in addition to a whole new faster interface!
This winter we’ve been busy making our wildfire maps even faster with improved performance. Not only that, our maps are easier to read with brighter roads and easier to read labels. We’ve also added more up-to-date satellite maps as well as topographic maps for better situational awareness.
You may also notice we’ve made interface enhancements for better usability and less clicks when navigating between incidents. You’ll no longer need to use a ‘back’ button to jump back to the main map just like Google and Apple Maps.
