August 9th, 2025 Update for FrogPilot v0.9.7:
Highlight Features
-
Speed Limit Filler V2 - The previous update introduced the #speed-limit-filler tool that automatically collected missing speed limits from "Open Street Maps" so you can easily fix them via "SpeedLimitFiller.frogpilot.download", and this update makes said tool a lot more faster, reliable, and overall more efficient! The most notable changes you'll find is it now collects incorrect speed limits if the speed limit on "Open Street Maps" doesn't match the speed limit from your dashboard or "MapBox", and it now automatically processes the collected speed limits after your drive! So as long as your device has a stable internet connection at some point this tool is now completely "set and forget"!
-
The Pond - Last year @Aidenir created a "Fleet Manager" replacement dubbed "The Pond" and after a few personal touches added by yours truly it's finally here! You can access "The Pond" just like how "Fleet Manager" was accessed (YOUR.DEVICES.IP.HERE:8082) and quite frankly there's just too much to fit in a Discord message on how this improves things and what it has, so you'll have to check it out and see for yourself! There's a few updates to "The Pond" already in the works such as a "Theme Maker" panel so keep an eye out for future improvements! Feel free to provide any feedback you have in the #the-pond channel!
