Integration Tools
10. Weather Stations
Added a shortcut to Weather Settings
11. LFM Stations
LFM Stations can be displayed by minimum moisture readings. Only stations with readings in the last 60 days are displayed. To symbolize stations by moisture readings, go to Settings > Weather Defaults and scroll to the bottom.
Navigation Tools & Miscellaneous Tools
12. Added a Fuel Calculator Tool
This is a permissions-based fuel calculator tool intended to provide FBANs information on the behavior of fuels with charts and graphs
Settings
13. Added ability to change GPS Tracking 3D model size
14. Added ability to enable an enhanced trace log to help trace connectivity issues
