Please let us know in case you experience any problems; we are keen to fix them before the production release.

Tracking Improvements

In the past GPS tracking was stored in files, where you had to determine the recording format (GPX, KML) beforehand and remember in what folder they are held.

To make live a bit easier, tracking is now recorded to an internal database, and a new screen provides a list of tracks for direct access. The features of this list are:

• Newly recorded tracks are automatically added to the list.
• Import GPS / KML files.
• Share a track in GPS or KML format; more formats to come!
• Show track on map.
• Archive tracks you might not currently use; they are not deleted.
• Delete tracks.
• Select multiple tracks (do a long press on a card) for sharing, archiving, deletion.
• Add a text note to a track (speech input supported).

Compass

Our Compass tool received some refinements, too:

• It is now more smooth in its movement.
• Correction for magnetic declination applied.
• An accuracy indicator is shown, a good reminder when to re-calibrate.
• A new compass rose.
