Never get lost again: satellite-based orientation and navigation

As promised earlier, we’ve introduced satellite maps on our Cluey Data Collector and Tracking app. Combined with the Measure Distance function, getting lost with this new satellite map feature is pretty slim.

The benefits at a glance:

  • The satellite map can be downloaded before going into the field.

  • The images show detailed information in rural areas with limited roads or landmarks.

  • You can toggle between the standard map and the satellite image to see features such as water dams, riverbanks, types of vegetation and structures like houses and huts.

  • Next to orientation it helps you to navigate, as dirt roads and tracks are highly visible.

  • while the Measure Distance feature continuously shows the distance between you and your destination.

Other news about the Cluey version 2.10.1:

  • Attach photos to an observation (next to the old function of taking one within Cluey)

  • Options added to describe details about Actions Taken

  • Thorough GPS-library update to support tracking on phones with Android version 5 to 12

  • Faster method to automatically offload recorded observations and tracks

  • Numerous new concepts about illegal activities and more.
