Fulcrum

ANALYTICS
Velocity5.0

Fulcrum ships in lockstep across iOS, Android, and web — small map and GPS refinements, no big swings.

field-data-collectiongps-mappingmobile-releasesesriincrementalstability
◆Current state
Fulcrum is a field data-collection platform with three release surfaces — iOS, Android, and a weekly web channel — all moving at a steady incremental cadence. Recent work centers on its mapping and GPS core: scale bars, GPS track handling, Esri map reports, and WMS layer fixes. The releases read as maintenance and refinement rather than new capability.
◆Where it's heading
The product is in a consolidation phase, hardening its existing map/GPS/data-viewer surface rather than opening new territory. Web releases trend toward visibility and audit-log clarity; mobile releases trend toward stability and field-usability touches like backgrounding GPS tracks. Nothing here signals a directional shift.
◆Prediction
Expect the same triple-surface drumbeat to continue — weekly web notes plus phased iOS/Android point releases — with incremental map and data-collection polish. The entries don't show evidence of a larger platform move on the near horizon.

    iOS gains map scale bar and instant GPS-track backgrounding

    The most substantive recent mobile release: a map scale bar in the main view, an ALERT() data-event fix, and the ability to background a GPS track before any points are collected. These are practical field-usability gains within the existing map/GPS core, not new direction.

  4. 4d ago

    Android fix for app-start failure after password reset

    A single bug fix for an app-start failure when navigating from the password reset screen. Pure reliability maintenance on Android.

  6. 7d ago

    GPS Device Capture column hidden by default in Data Viewer

    Web release that hides the GPS Device Capture column by default in the Data Viewer and clarifies audit-log messages for SSO-based member additions. Minor visibility and governance polish, in line with the web channel's recent direction.
