Changelog

What changed in Vector, newest first.

    • Vector for Mac and Windows, in beta: the whole app on your laptop. It opens with no signal, keeps missions, edits and map files on the computer and syncs when you are back online. With Pro, from onvector.eu/download.

    • Space weather shows on the map: where the aurora is likely (GPS errors are most likely there) and a card with the Kp index now, the next 24 hours, and what it means for GPS.
    • A spinner shows which map or layer is still loading: on its card in the Map panel, and on the Map button while the panel is closed.
    • Sun and moon, redrawn: sunrise, sunset, sun and moon lines from the centre of the map across the ground, the shadow direction and length, and a glare zone when the sun is low. A card tells the light now and how long until the next sunset, last light or sunrise, with a day chart.

    • Objects and photos in time: give an object a From and Until time, record where units are at a moment, and drag the time bar to play the mission. Times export to KML and GeoJSON and come back on import.
    • Every new account gets 14 days of Pro, no card needed.
    • A status corner in the header shows who is in the mission, who is flying, offline maps, GPS, internet and TAK.
    • One Grids button for the MGRS grid and reference grids.
    • AI assistants can create missions through MCP.
    • The TAK panel shows who was last connected and when the mission last synced.

    • Ready for field: one button saves everything a mission needs with no signal - the plan, team, chat, photos, airspace, weather, map layers, terrain and the base map.
    • Chat messages and reports send when the signal comes back.
    • Sun and moon sky dome: where the sun and moon are, BMNT and EENT, and the moon phase for the mission day.

    • Official national drone zones for Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Luxembourg and the US, next to Latvia.
    • Maps are picked by type, Satellite or Topographic, and satellite maps show their capture date.
    • New map layers: tree cover, hedges, urban land use, fire danger, night lights, snow, rain and smoke.
    • Drop a photo on the map to add it as an object.
    • The Draw panel shows each line and area as it will look.

    • A new phone layout: an icon rail with Map, Layers and View cards, a full-screen Add picker, and a Mission hub for everything else.
    • Measure distance, radius and bearing from your position with the crosshair on a phone.
    • Search objects and grid references on a phone.

    • TAK integration: link a mission to your own TAK Server and edits sync both ways with ATAK, iTAK and WinTAK.
    • Flight routes with altitude: set the height of each waypoint, see the levels in 3D, and show radar and radio coverage as a dome.
    • Sign in with Google.
    • The Pro plan can be bought in the app, monthly or yearly.
