GPS Trace now feels more polished and easier to scan: Settings and Track History have been refreshed with clearer section headers, compact stat chips, and more refined empty states. While recording, the map shows a swipeable glass-style mini-chart carousel for live altitude and speed, so key metrics stay visible without cluttering the UI. Under the hood, modal flows are cleaner, and new unit tests improve confidence around unit formatting, main navigation routing, and altitude chart data preparation.

Code optimization

Clearer privacy messaging for location access (while using the app and in the background), in English and French. Improved reliability when recording and viewing tracks (GPS point saving and opening existing GPX data). Minor technical updates for a more stable experience.

Open GPX tracks straight from the Files app. GPS Trace now registers for .gpx files—share or “Open with” launches the app and shows the route on the map, with no extra import step. File loading is more robust across different file sources on device.

Bug fixes and performance improvements

Pro sharing • GPX compliant • App Store review -- Redesigned share images (gradient, icons, markers). -- GPX 1.1 export. -- Review prompt after several saves. -- Clear filenames (GPS-Trace-Name-2024-01-15.png).

Control Recording from Your Apple Watch Start and stop GPS recording directly from your watch. No need to take out your iPhone during a hike or bike ride—a single tap on your watch starts or stops tracking.
