Change in configuration of the Land Capability for Agriculture to allow zooming into a larger scale.

This version of the app uses a revised version of the Land Capability for Agriculture. Instead of two layers (one for 1:250,000 and one for 1:50,000 mapping) the hybrid uses all the more detailed mapping (1:50,000) and only the less detailed mapping (1:250,000) for the remaining less agriculturally intensely managed areas. It also includes minor updates and fixes.

This version contains no new content it is the first release of a renamed version of the Hutton app SIFSS.

This update from Apple will improve the functionality of this app. No new features are included. This version includes a revised function to zoom to a location that you type into the search window. In previous versions this used a third party tool that is no longer freely available, we now use a tool developed in-house. Please update your app to continue to use the search window function.

This version includes a map of soil carbon and peatland produced by SNH using Hutton data. Please refer to Scotland's Soils website if you would like more information on this map.

This version includes a more flexible menu so that we can include more soil maps of Scotland. This version also includes a map of soil pH and the National Soil Inventory of Scotland profile points. We have also included an additional Esri base map - relief. Combine this with some transparency on the map overlays to get some interesting combinations and insights.

This version repairs the function to zoom to your location using the GPS on your device. Changes made in an earlier version accidentally disabled this function.

This version is a minor update to improve usability should the web mapping services be unavailable. In this version if you set the Opacity slider to the minimum then the app does not attempt to display information as you pan and zoom around the map. To restore this functionality just set the slider higher than zero.

In this further update, in addition to the ability to display our published soil and land capability mapping the app now shows detailed information about soil as you pan around or tap on the map. In this version we are now using Esri mapping so that you can choose from aerial photos, a topographic map or National Geographic mapping as your base layer.

In this major update we have added the ability to display our National Soil Map of Scotland, the Land Capability for Agriculture (showing prime agricultural land etc.), World Reference Base (soil mapping) and soil texture mapping for the Nitrate Vulnerable Zones in Scotland. The mapping is shown at national scale and our more detailed scale where available. In addition we are now using Esri mapping so that you can choose from aerial photos, a topographic map or National Geographic mapping as your base layer.

We have added descriptions (SMUDs - Soil Map Unit Descriptions) of the most common agricultural soils to the app. If there is a SMUD for the soil at your location then an additional button will appear for you to click just above the soil series picker wheel. We have also updated and clarified our app licensing.

A bug that was affecting the 4-inch iPhone version of the app has been corrected.
