STAKING GRID IN EVERY PROVINCE • A new Staking Grid layer shows which cells are open, held or restricted across Nova Scotia, Ontario and British Columbia, updated every morning • British Columbia cells show mineral and placer ground separately, and say why ground is closed • Tap a cell for its status and how to stake it • Search finds a staking cell by its key, and lists matching cells as you type FASTER, MORE RELIABLE DATA • Claims, expired claims, staking history and Ontario drill holes now come from Canada Prospector's own nightly copy, so they load faster and no longer depend on provincial servers being up • Every Ontario drill hole shows across the whole province, clustered at any zoom SAVED ITEMS WORK OFFLINE (PRO) • Saved claims, expired claims, staking cells, claim history and Ontario drill holes keep their details for when you have no signal • Open the Expired layer once while online and it stays available offline WHAT'S HERE, REDESIGNED • One clear answer to "can I stake here?": the claim, the staking cell and the land together • Pro adds "is it worth it?": exploration data, geology and nearby workings, each one tap from the map TAP WHAT YOU MEANT • Where records overlap, the sheet tells you what else is there so you can open the one you wanted ALSO • Fixes a rare crash at launch • Many smaller fixes and refinements
