A graphic legend is now shown on-screen while you are creating
maps in the Create Maps section of the
website. The legend is dynamically updated as layers
are added and removed.

Can't Stay Logged In?
Users at some sites are having trouble remaining logged in
to the wildfire site. This is happening at sites where security
policies block the "cookies" that are passed between our site
and your web browser to manage password access.
In response to these reports, we have moved to a different type of cookie
that is less likely to be wiped out by your security settings. For the technically inclined, I've
moved from persistent cookies to non-persistent cookies (also
known as session cookies).
What It Means To You
If you had no trouble with unexpected logouts previously,
you will probably not notice the change at all. If you were previously frequently returned to the
home page and prompted to log in, you may find that you can now remain
logged in. If you are still unable to stay logged in, please let us know.

| | Tue, 13 Nov 2007 5:10pm | by Guy Carpenter | Revised Address Mapping
We have improved the way our rural address layers
are displayed. Rural addresses have been provided
by participating shires in several different ways, including
point GPS locations for driveway entries, lines mapping the
driveway length, and polygons marking the entire parcel.
We have updated our web map to display these
different addressing data sets in a more consistent manner.

revised Wed, 14 Nov 2007 12:17pm | by Guy Carpenter | Feeds Added for Hotspot and Fire Scar Layers
We have added feeds for two new layers derived
from the MODIS satellite. These layers are updated
automatically when new data becomes available.
Recent Sentinel Hotspots
This layer shows hotspots identified by the Sentinel
project, derived from MODIS satellite data. The layer
shows thermal hotspots in three time classes: today,
yesterday and 2-7 days ago.
This data is updated from Geoscience Australia
daily at 6am, 10am, 2pm and 6pm.
2007 Fire Scars
Fire scar data from the Northern Australian Fire Information
website is now available in the "Fire Scars" section.
This data is hand-mapped from satellite images and posted by
NAFI approximately weekly.
