What is new
Rangecam version 14 provides several new features:
- a more flexible relationship between territories (divisions, subdivisions) and tracks
- improved insulation for Enterprise users
- detailed information and a better user interface when working with read-only databases
- processed/unprocessed runs. A user can mark a run as processed or unprocessed. Unprocessed runs can be excluded from consideration. A database can be configured to suppress this feature.

-
- track viewer,
- run viewer,
