Added a button that opens www.artsobservasjoner.no as a way of allowing the creation of new observations till Artsdatabanken allows external apps to do so directly.

Stability and performance improvements.

September 6, 2024

Observations are now visible even when zooming out far enough to see the whole country. You can now choose between zooming in to the area covered by observation clusters, or review them as a list.

- Manage a list of favourite observations - Start by reviewing the hand picked list of favourites included in the app - Better map experience, in particular when zooming out

Removed the final limit on when observations are visible - it is now possible to see observations regardless of map zoom. Overlapping observation groups that comprise of a single species only will now have its icon rather than the default icon for observation groups. Added an indicator highlighting the geographical area where observations are currently being downloaded.

Fixed an incorrect species - icon mapping in the map.

August 11, 2024

Completed English and Norwegian text and labelling for all app-side content. Focused on the most important fields of the observation view. Added unique icons for observation groups, arctic fox and polar bear. Restricted the map area to Norway and Svalbard. Tapping observation groups moves the relevant observations to display center rather than fill the display. Replaced the map progress wheel and label by a progress bar per map tile. Increased the size of map tiles significantly. Upped the maximum users can zoom while still looking at observations. Added all the counties as tappable areas when zoomed past where observations are visible. Increased clarity and visibility of the observation age limit slider. Added filtering capabilities based on species and images being present. Increased aggressiveness of the observation grouping in the map to reduce cluttering. When tapping images in the observation view they can now be zoomed into. Fixed map tile downloads not starting at display center. State such as maximum observation limit chosen is now persisted between app runs. Added a visual cue to entries (map and list) indicating if they have images.

Added a map tile cache, improving reload speeds when changing time span of interest.
