Support Multiple Devices
How about an "Enterprise" edition of TNP that can have multiple devices (as many as we need) with separate accounts that can be synchronized with the desktop. Ideally, I should be able to create user groups or teams that can share each others projects.
TNP Enterprise is now available. Now you can track multiple TNP Mobile accounts and collaborate among projects.

@Al:
If you would like "offline" synchronization (which we have considered) then be sure to "vote" for it in a separate idea: http://tnp.uservoice.com/forums/192484The enterprise version will allow tracking of cloud connected mobile devices (running the TNP Mobile App) as well as InfinityGear or Pryme GPS Mics. Unfortunately, we have no control over their hardware or drivers. That said, I have not heard that they are not Windows x64 (Win 7 or 8) compatible. You may want to double-check with them directly.

Tyler County WV SAR Team uses the TNP Pro Desktop to create and monitor the Search areas and teams dispatched to the search areas. It would be helpful if each team dispatched could be given an iPad with their search area maps. As they do their search they could add notes, geopoints, waypoints etc to their search. It would be great if multiple teams could access the same base map to provide updates as to their activities to the same project. Or even if the operations group using an the mobile app on an iPad or a 2nd desktop runnign TNP Pro could update the project map(s). (re: the Enterprise capability)
And as it is not likely that they will have access to the "cloud," (HEY this is rural WV), it would be great if there was some way to update the project on the base camp TNP Desktop PC via a local internet/wifi or blue tooth connection. I realize that great care would be needed to prevent overwriting information added by others between the time the team(s) were dispatched and when they return and tried to apply their updates.
It would also be great if the Infinity GPS MIC II radio/GPS mics would work with the newer NAV Pro and newer versions of Windows. Under earlier versions of NAV Pro and Windows XP they were a little flakey, but they worked sometimes.
Using these devices with their radios, the teams could send their locations, waypoints, tracks, and short messages back to the base camp TNP radio equipped PC and base could send the same to them. Great concept poorly supported.
Any help you can provide in obtaining updated drivers for these Infinity GPS mics would be appreciated. The manufacturer is useless. And NO dispite what some say in the user forums, these devices don't work in XP mode under newer versions of Windows. It's a driver and COM recognition issue.

This would be a great feature to access it from multiple devices at once.
