THE FOLLOW UPDATE FOLLOW Relive a trip the way you travelled it. Pick a day, or a stretch of days, and the camera flies low along your route in 3D over real terrain and buildings, lighting up each tile as you reach it. Add photos and videos from the trip and they pop up on the map where you took them. Record it and share it. LOCATE Pick any tile you've unlocked and watch the satellite find it: a spinning globe dives through all three tile sizes down to your exact spot and stamps the date you first got there. Save it as a video or share it. SURVEY STICKERS Turn a date range or a framed area into a shareable sticker with your tile counts, as a still image or animated. AREA REPLAY Frame a much wider area to replay, all the way out to a whole city. EVERY TILE POPS In date and area replays, each tile now flashes as it lights up. ALSO • More reliable background tracking that uses less battery while you're standing still • Sharper replay recordings

- New Area Replay feature! - Fixed bug that unlocked tiles while flying in an airplane

Fixes a freeze on the loading screen for explorers with large maps. Statistics are now computed in the background, so the app opens immediately no matter how many tiles you have unlocked.

WATER MODE (PRO) The survey now ends at the shoreline. Turn on Water Mode and the fog lifts from every fully-water cell at all three zoom levels, with true-coastline precision. Your map shows the coast, not a wall of unexplored ocean. Toggle it any time from the side rail. UNREACHABLE CELLS (PRO) Fenced-off sites, private land, places no one can ever stand: mark them UNREACHABLE and they leave your map and your completion percentages. Your 100% becomes something you can actually reach. Now a straight PRO feature, with no ads or credits involved. SHARPER STATISTICS Every percentage now measures land precisely. Fully-water tiles never count toward a total, coastal tiles are classified against the real shoreline, and unreachable marks reduce your global percentages as well as city stats. City boundaries now end on the same shoreline as the fog. Your numbers may shift slightly. Your progress data is untouched. 3-DAY FREE TRIAL Try Monthly PRO free for 3 days. A dedicated page shows exactly when the trial ends and when billing would start.

Country Discovery The Statistics panel now opens to a new COUNTRIES page: a grid of 195 national flags, each one lit once you've explored even a single spot in that country. Your existing exploration history counts — countries you've already been to light up automatically. Also in this update • Friend leaderboards now show how recent each person's numbers are ("just now," "2h ago"), so you can tell who's actively exploring. • Region focus is rolling out — tap your city's name to zoom into a detailed view of your coverage there. • New in-app hints introduce features you haven't tried yet, with a button that takes you right to them. • Smoother map rotation while walking — the map no longer swings when you move your phone in your hand. • Better behavior on weak connections: progress syncs more reliably, offline indicators are cleaner, and settings changes that don't reach the server now say so. • Fixed an issue where subscription status could temporarily appear incorrect after a connection hiccup. • Plus refinements across the stats pages and general polish throughout.
