New Features and Enhancements

Theme-Aware Mapping Page

• Dynamic Theme Support: The Mapping page now adapts to the selected theme, offering a seamless integration for users who prefer light or dark modes. This ensures a visually cohesive experience across different devices and settings.

Account Page Dark Mode Update

• True Black and Neutral Gray: We have updated the dark mode color scheme on the Account page from dark blue to true black and neutral gray, providing a more aesthetically pleasing and battery-efficient dark theme.

Improved Admin Accessibility

• Refined Admin Controls: The shortcuts for Admin functionalities have been removed from the bottom-right corner, streamlining the user interface. However, Admin Review remains accessible via the account sidebar for convenient access.

Bug Fixes

Mobile Side-Imaging Information Card

• Responsive Design Fixes: The mobile version of the side-imaging information card has been optimized to stay within the screen boundaries. The close button remains visible, and scrolling functionality has been added to accommodate lengthy sonar details.

New Survey Sandbox

Local PMTiles Survey Sandbox

• Interactive Survey Inspection: A new local PMTiles Survey Sandbox has been introduced, allowing users to open completed survey files such as depth, DEM, side-imaging, and substrate.
• Focused Area Analysis: Users can inspect surveyed areas without needing to load the full world map, providing a focused and efficient review process.
• Advanced Viewing Options: Rotate, zoom, tilt, and view surveys in 3D. Users can toggle individual layers and adjust water and depth colors for a customized viewing experience.
• Pre-Upload Review: Before finalizing your contribution, review generated surveys in detail. The upload step remains locked until this review is completed, ensuring accuracy and quality.

Direct Integration with Mapping Page

• Seamless Access: Surveys can now be opened directly from the Mapping page, with automatic loading of generated PMTiles.
