1.5.3
✔ new: Coverage layer added to Fleetmon’s spotter map (same view like Fleetmon :web)
✔ new: Improved vessel search (now interactive search, like web site search)
✔ Fixed some minor glitches and issues

1.5.2
✔ new: flicker free update of vessel positions on map
✔ new: swipe gesture to delete vessels from “My Fleet”
✔ new: status feedback in message bar
✔ Fixed bugs to improve stability

1.5.1
- for users having difficulties to input their login data, we adjusted the interface (my Fleet functions)
- fixing a memory leak
new map switch (moved from preferences into map)

more good stuff to come in the next weeks :-)

Fleetmon: Live Action, following the Sunsail Race in South England

sunsail_race_solent_southampton_20110427

This year Sunsail will present the 80th “Round the Island” race on the cost of South England.
Today we can follow quiet a lot Sunsail Yachts equipped with Class B AIS transponders in the Solent. With the short delay of some seconds (AIS transmission), this is an almost live experience and very attractive to watch.
Take a look yourself within Fleetmon: http://www.digital-seas.com/fleet_tracking/regions/northsea_gbir.html
Look into English Channel, Southampton.

(all FM2 beta testers relish the display of this cool race event)
