We noticed the freehand trackshape was missing in the beta 3. It was quite important to us, will this return?
Also, when panning our trackshapes are lagging behind the map, jumping a little and seem slow to draw.
Is this something we are doing wrong or can it be improved?
Gordon,
I think the Desktop Edition is in beta 2 right now. Do you mean the freehand mode from version 2.x? I see I think maybe this was left out. I will put in an issue to make sure this gets added. It was really just a line I think with allot of points.
The track shapes may lag a bit because they get drawn on a different overlay after the main map gets drawn. How many shapes are you drawing and how any points total when you see the slowdown?

Sorry, I mean’t Version 3 beta 2. Yes we had freehand in MapSuite 2 and it was a useful thing for us. We’d appreciate if it could be implemented in MapSuite 3 too, thanks.
We have 7 shapefile layers and ~8000 points plotted. The performance is ok with these. We then add a trackshape of any kind and we get the slowdown between the map draw and track shape draw.
Gordon,
The freehand will return in the next version. About the low performance / shape jumping when panning a map with tracked shapes, that is a bug and we are working on it. I think it will be solved also in the next version, thanks for reporting!
Ben.
