Radio & Communications
- Multi-channel radio has been added back with full Push-to-Talk (PTT) infrastructure.
- iOS Live Activities are now supported, allowing users to view radio status and switch channels directly from the lock screen.
- IP Radio is functioning as expected using the intercom “radio” cable for PTT, eliminating the need for a phone or Bluetooth connection in hardware-enabled vehicles.
- PTT currently supports one-way transmission only. Testing with the GoPro audio output on the Molex connector retransmits incoming audio and creates an echo for other channel members.
- Latching PTT functionality is being explored but may require modifications to the intercom hardware.
Maps & Navigation
- Map cleanup improvements are underway:
- Trail POIs now dynamically respond to zoom level. At wider zoom levels they appear as simple dots, and at closer zoom levels they become interactive markers.
- New settings options allow users to hide or disable specific map markers for a cleaner map experience.
- Routes now persist after closing the app. Added trails and waypoints will remain on the map until they are manually removed.
- New 3D map functionality has been added across Satellite, Terrain, and Standard Map modes.
Route Builder & Waypoints
- Waypoint photos are now supported. When creating routes in the web Route Builder, photos can be attached to waypoints and caution markers.
- Photos can be viewed in both the web and mobile applications by selecting the waypoint.
- This feature is especially useful for caution markers and trail hazards, allowing users to visually identify obstacles or important trail information.
- Leaderboard action waypoints, caution zones, speed zones, and virtual checkpoints have all been completed.
Video Streaming & Hardware
- The hardware and video streaming platform has been revisited and significantly improved.
- Video streaming from the iOS profile section is currently providing content to the backend video distribution platform.
- The new hardware configuration supports:
- Ethernet video input for IP cameras.
- A dedicated M.2 slot for HDMI video input.
- Initial testing of Ethernet video ingestion has been completed successfully.
