New Features

This is a quick overview of the new features you can expect from Guide Version 2.0. While the 2.0 rewrite of Inteliguide & Patrolguide primarily brings the platform to a newer, more capable set of technologies, and establishes a central API (Application Programming Interface), there were a number of additional features that we just couldn't ignore and are proud to be able to include!
