We\u2019re so excited and proud of this latest QField version that we\u2019ve opted for a major 3.0 version update. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shipped with many new features and built with the latest generation of Qt\u2019s cross-platform framework, this new chapter marks an important milestone for the most powerful open-source field GIS solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Main highlights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Upon launching this new version of QField, users will be greeted by a revamped recent projects list featuring shiny map canvas thumbnails. While this is one of the most obvious UI improvements, countless interface tweaks and harmonization have occurred. From the refreshed dark theme to the further polishing of countless widgets, QField has never looked and felt better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The top search bar has a new functionality that allows users to look for features within the currently active vector layer by matching any of its attributes against a given search term. Users can also refine their searches by specifying a specific attribute. The new functionality can be triggered by typing the \u2018f\u2019 prefix in the search bar followed by a string or number to retrieve a list of matching features. When expanding it, a new list of functionalities appears to help users discover all of the tools available within the search bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

QField\u2019s tracking has also received some love. A new erroneous distance safeguard<\/strong> setting has been added, which, when enabled, will dictate the tracker not to add a new vertex if the distance between it and the previously added vertex is greater than a user-specified value. This aims at preventing \u201cspikes\u201d of poor position readings during a tracking session. QField is now also capable of resuming a tracking session after being stopped. When resuming, tracking will reuse the last feature used when first starting, allowing sessions interrupted by battery loss or momentary pause to be continued on a single line or polygon geometry.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t
