    Map Display Enhancements in Position Pages

    April 2024CAM-24061, CAM-24015

    React Native Platform

    In React Native versions of the app, the following enhancements have been implemented in the map displays in Position pages: 

    • An About tab has been added to the page, and is the default tab that opens when the end-user selects a position in the app. When this tab is open, only the location of that position is marked on the map, in order to reduce clutter. By default, the name of the position is displayed in the About tab. However, if the Note field of the position contains text, this text is displayed in the About tab, rather than the name of the position. All marked locations continue to appear in the map when the Around Here tab is selected. 
    • Actions that appear in Actions tabs can have icons identifying their types.
