We're thrilled to announce a major update to our Arboreal Forest iOS application, packed with new features that will revolutionize your forest management experience. Let's dive into the exciting new capabilities now at your fingertips:

New Features

  1. Mark Damaged Trees: Easily identify and record trees that have sustained damage.

  2. Measure Strip Road Width: Accurately measure the width of strip roads in your forest.

  3. Edit Last Tree Diameter: Quickly correct any mistakes by editing the diameter of the most recently measured tree.

  4. AR-Powered Positioning: We now use augmented reality technology (AR) to calculate a local position of each tree, it is much more accurate than GPS-positioning.

  5. True North Orientation: The local coordinate system is now oriented towards true north for better navigation and mapping.

  6. Species-Specific Height Measurement: When measuring tree heights, we now display all markers on trees of the species you're currently measuring.

  7. Improved User Feedback: Enhanced feedback during processes like synchronization and login for a smoother user experience.
