Weather enhancement

ZOLEO weather forecasts are highly relied upon by users for trip planning, whether it be for the current day or the days ahead.

 

Users can now plan for upcoming destinations or points along their route by requesting weather for any location, even while off the grid. Customers can download an AerisWeather forecast for their current location or a different location using an on-screen map or using the Search. Using the Search function, users can search by location coordinates, and by location name when cellular or Wi-Fi connectivity is available. 

 

Tip: Offline maps are required for viewing high-resolution map detail while outside of cellular coverage. Download an offline map (cell or Wi-Fi required) of the area you'll be travelling then use the map to retrieve weather forecasts off the grid.

 

Once a forecast has been downloaded, users can tap the place name displayed on the forecast results to display the location information used to download the weather forecast. A map with location pin and coordinates will be displayed. The forecast will also remain until a new one is downloaded, as long as the ZOLEO app remains connected to the ZOLEO device.

 

 

Notification Enhancements
Notifications to ZOLEO app users have been enhanced to provide better visibility when new messages are received; while using the app, when the app is in the background, or when the smartphone screen is locked/on standby.

 

Unique badges are now displayed for new/unread text messages and location updates on the chat thread, making it simple for users to determine the type of new message that's been received.

 

 

Push notifications:

New text messages and new Location Share+ updates displayed on the lock screen and in the notification center are now grouped separately allowing users to easily focus on messages that matters most.

• English (US)
