What changes?

Permanent Bluetooth connection
Optional permanent Bluetooth connection to other devices. This allows coordinates to be permanently transferred to other devices, such as tablets with appropriate software. (Must be switched on via MyLocator3).
Optimised Walk-Back screen
When entering data manually, there is an additional icon above the "Enter" key for easier recognition of input confirmation.
Additional recognition for SBAS (DGPS) GPS
When entering data manually, there is an additional icon above the "Enter" key for easier recognition of input confirmation.
Additional Coordinate Format
When SBAS, i.e. a slightly more accurate GPS is received, the GPS symbol in the display is no longer red, but blue. With "normal" GPS reception it remains red. With SBAS you have the chance that the accuracy comes to about 60cm (for areas with no cellular reception at all).
Warning message when tolerance exceeds 2DRMS
A warning triangle and a red indicator above the memory button will appear if you exceed the freely selectable tolerance limit. In addition, a lock for storing points above the defined tolerance can be set. (Only adjustable via MyLocator3)
Cloud data connection on/off
When this option is selected in MyLocator3, you can set whether or not to save the next data to be sent to the cloud in the vLoc3 RTK-Pro receiver menu. This is useful for sensitive areas, such as restricted military areas, or similar. (Can be configured via MyLocator3 and then set individually in the receiver).
Export format MyLocator3

Gon added as export option for angle displays
UTM-DE added as export option. In contrast to the pure "UTM", with UTM-DE the zone is prefixed with the easting.
Reduced, resp. adjusted number of digits behind the decimal point for all evaluations
Addition of GeoTiff files for better height correction. Can be used in the menu item "Log Data" under "Advanced". The GeoTiff files can be downloaded for example under https://cdn.proj.org free of charge.

What changes?

Software vLoc3 RTK-Pro v1.34

When the receiver is switched on, a query is made as to whether a new measurement should be started. This function can be switched on or off in the MyLocator3 app. The query is nothing new, but has always been available in the main menu. To make the data evaluation easier, you should switch on this function. With each start of a new measurement the data sets are separated from each other and the points are displayed in the corresponding color in the map view of VMMap Cloud. (e.g. red for power line, blue for water, etc.). This helps considerably when several measurements are placed next to each other.
The different measurement methods (Classic View, Vector, etc.) can now be selected with a long press on the "Enter" key. This is also freely configurable in the MyLocator3 Desktop App.
Object names can now also be assigned for marker location. (When using the Marker Locator Adapter).
Extended display of the number of satellites. Up to now, only 12 satellites were displayed according to the NEMA standard. Now this has been extended to 99.
The object list was extended with attributes. A more detailed explanation can be found in the Quick Start Guide "Object feature advanced".

MyLocator3 Desktop App v1.16:

Extended setting for the query "Start new measurement" when switching on the receiver and selection of measurement methods (Classic, Vector, etc.) as a list under the menu item "Options".
Objects can now be edited and assigned attributes directly in the MyLocator3 Desktop App.

VMMap Cloud 0.12.9:

New measurements are marked with a yellow dot in the list.
Users and teams can now be created and deleted by the VMMap Cloud administrator himself.
For export, the data format can be changed between DMS (degrees, minutes and seconds), or DD (decimal degrees).
