We have done a significant update to our Arboreal Forest app. We've completely rebuilt the measurement component from the ground up, leveraging the latest technology to enhance your forest inventory experience.

Here's what's new in this major update:

  1. Real-time Mini Map Navigate circular plots with ease using our new mini-map feature. It displays the positions of:

    • Plot center
    • Plot border
    • Measured trees
    • User's current location This visual aid is invaluable for maintaining orientation in complex forest environments.
  2. Voice Announcements for Species Reduce errors and increase efficiency with our new voice feature. The app now announces the species name of the last measured tree, helping you avoid mistakenly assigning the wrong species to a tree.

  3. Flexible Plot Measurements We've introduced the ability to measure plots without predefined borders. This feature is perfect for:

    • Fixed area plots
    • Plantation measurements
    • Custom area calculations Measure any tree you want and manually enter the area afterwards for maximum flexibility.
  4. North Orientation for Local Plots Improve your spatial awareness with our new north orientation feature. An arrow now points north within your plot view, and you can adjust it as needed for accurate positioning.

These new features, combined with our rebuilt measurement system, offer an unparalleled forest inventory experience. Whether you're a forester, researcher, or forest owner, Arboreal Forest now provides even more tools to make your work accurate, efficient, and intuitive.

We're constantly working to improve Arboreal Forest based on user feedback. We'd love to hear your thoughts on these new features and any suggestions for future updates. Happy measuring!
