ReachView 3 Beta

Hey everyone,

We are extremely happy to announce that ReachView 3 is coming out of beta. After months of community testing and your feedback, we consider the app to be stable and complete feature-wise to be the main way our users interact with Reach.

This has been a really long journey. What started as a way to bring coordinate system support to Reach users turned into one of our most ambitious projects to date. Our goal with ReachView 3 now is to bring the Reach experience to the next level by taking advantage of everything mobile platforms have to offer.

The new app comes with the UI being slick and fast, better performance of the maps engine, internationalization. With the new app being an independent entity, we are able to ship software updates much faster and independently from Reach firmware. And, of course, coordinate system support, which would be impossible to implement properly in the older app.

Needless to say, this is only the beginning of ReachView 3. We’ve only managed to scratch the surface of the new platforms and intend to do so much more. Coordinate system support is an ongoing battle between us and the very many different standards and workflows around the globe, but we are finally getting the upper hand with more and more countries being supported by ReachView 3. We are committed to supporting as many CRS workflows as possible.

For the time being, ReachView 2 stays with us and exists alongside the new app in case you will need to tweak some advanced settings, just like it was during the beta period.

We would like to thank everybody who participated in the testing, provided feedback, and patiently waited for us to come up with the new app. We’ve heard tons of great feature requests, most of which either got implemented or found their way to our roadmap. Being able to test run with our community is really invaluable. We appreciate you hanging out with us in this beta thread :smile:
