Summary​

Radar 2.0 brings your Radar account together with your Sensa account, so there is one login across everything and no separate Radar password to remember. It also adds a light and dark look for the app, with an automatic mode that follows sunrise and sunset where you are.

One Sensa account​

The biggest change in 2.0 is how you sign in. Your Radar account is now simply your Sensa account, the same identity you use everywhere else with Sensa.

  • Sign in with your Sensa account. A new sign-in sets up your Radar and Sensa accounts together, so there is nothing separate to create.
  • No separate Radar password. There is no Radar-only password to remember or reset. If you can sign in to Sensa, you can sign in to Radar.
  • Nomad vans still sign in with their licence as before.

As always, you do not need an account at all to use Radar. Everything core works signed out, with your preferences kept on your device. Signing in is what makes your saved places and settings follow you across devices. See Accounts & Premium.

Light and dark mode​

Radar now comes in a light look and a dark look, and you choose which you see under Settings, then Appearance.

  • Light or Dark all the time, whichever you prefer.
  • Auto follows sunrise and sunset where you are, so Radar is light through the day and switches to dark in the evening on its own.
  • The map follows too, switching to a darker style in the dark look so the whole screen stays easy to read at night.

Your choice takes effect straight away, and when you are signed in it follows you across your devices. See Light & dark mode.

Tracking​

The journey history for Nomad vans is now called Tracking. It records where your van has been so you can look back at your journeys on a map, it comes with your Nomad van, it is free, and it stays off until you turn it on. You can view your journeys in the mySensa portal, export them, and delete them at any time. See Tracking.

A note on offline maps​

Offline map packs are still planned as a Premium feature and will arrive with the native mobile app. They are not available yet on any platform.
