[maintenance] 2026-07-09 3:00 PM PST (10:00 PM UTC) - Maps Update 2.1.0
Update Overview
We are going to perform the Maps update. The new hotfix (2.1.0) will be deployed.
Release Notes
Summary
Version 2.1 delivers a more capable and polished maps experience across site and organisation views. It introduces redesigned organisation and site selection, object visibility on organisation maps, easier map sharing, and better KMZ import handling. Navigation, map editing, calibration, offline-site behaviour, dashboard layout, marker interactions, and streaming reliability have also been improved, alongside a refreshed UI foundation.
New Features
Redesigned organisation map and site selection: Updated organisation-map navigation and the organisation/site selection experience.
Objects on organisation maps: View device objects directly on the organisation map, with connections opened for devices in the current view.
Direct map sharing: Use Copy URL from the map menu to share a direct link more easily.
Improved KMZ imports: Preserve the original KMZ name, or allow a meaningful name to be assigned, instead of defaulting to
imported.kmz.
Improvements to existing features
Map navigation: Clicking the selected map name now returns to the full map view, even after navigating to a device or other item.
Map creation and editing: Create and edit flows now start and finish in a more predictable location, preserving the area currently being viewed where appropriate.
Object visibility: Device objects remain visible when their camera marker is just outside the viewing area.
Tracking and calibration: Unnecessary map content is removed while tracking or calibrating, making target points easier to identify.
Offline-site handling: Sites detected as offline are clearly identified and are not repeatedly reloaded as the map moves nearby; users can retry explicitly.
Dashboard layout: Added a maximum content width so dashboards remain balanced and readable on large screens.
Map markers and rendering: Organisation and edit-map markers now use GeoJSON for a more consistent map-rendering foundation.
UI foundation: Migrated the interface from MUI to Shadcn UI and Radix components.
Visual polish: Updated the shortcut/submap icon styling for better contrast.
Bug fixes
Object-detection interactions: Camera markers remain clickable while object detection is active, and clicking outside a preview closes it reliably.
Object streaming: Fixed cases where detected objects stopped streaming when the camera marker moved slightly outside the viewing area.
Access control: Users without sufficient permissions, including local users in unsupported flows, can no longer enter New Map or Edit Map processes that they cannot complete.
Offline-site retry behaviour: Prevented repeated automatic loading attempts for sites already identified as offline.
WebRTC reliability: Investigated and addressed WebRTC issues observed on the demo site to improve streaming stability.
DOWNTIME
No downtime.
