• Fixed incorrect city tile counts in the Conquest Map (e.g. Shanghai showing 1,000+ tiles) • Fixed abnormally high daily leaderboard scores for fairer rankings • Added a progress indicator while city records are being restored • Added an explanation in the Conquest Map for why city tile counts may not sum to the total

[City Territory Fix] • Fixes the issue where historical city records were lost after upgrading to v1.8.

Leaderboard Overhaul • New explore scoring formula: distance now earns points (100 pts/km), with new tiles as a bonus (20 pts each) — every walk counts, not just exploring new areas • Scores update in real time while you walk — no need to end the session to see changes Fixes & Optimizations • Fixed incorrect tile count display in the Province Overview of the Territory map • Fixed duplicate city entries appearing under both city and province names (e.g. "Wuxi – Wuxi") • Tapping a city in the Conquest list now navigates directly to it on the map • Revoking a photo import now also removes the associated city visit records • Background location battery usage optimized with reduced accuracy and update frequency

• Province Overview in Conquest Map: See all 34 provinces at a glance and track how much of the country you've claimed • Rare Landmark Share Card: Discover a rare landmark and get a shareable card to show off your find • Tile Transparency Setting: Three opacity levels in the toolbox — Normal, Light, or Ghost • Weekly Exploration Summary: Every Monday morning, get a recap of last week's tiles, trips, and streak • Landmark Data Upgrade: All 328 cities re-curated with cleaner filters and more accurate rare landmark detection

Major landmark expansion: now covering 328 cities with 5,368 landmarks — up from 100 cities and 725. Key sites like the Forbidden City, the Bund, West Lake, and Lujiazui are all included. • Landmark map performance: no more lag when zoomed out • Growth calendar fix: historical exploration data is now more complete • Streak fix: streak now counts correctly for always-on tracking users • Historical footprint tiles are now slightly more subtle

Version 1.5 [New] • "Background Explore" Shortcut: Start tracking hands-free via Siri or Shortcuts, with background location automatically enabled so recording continues after you lock your screen. Works great with Leave Home automations. [Improvements] • Streak protection notification: If you have an active streak but haven't explored yet today, you'll get a reminder at 8pm to keep it alive. • Panorama layer remembers your setting: The panorama toggle now persists across app restarts. • Photo tile taps fixed: Corrected a coordinate offset that caused taps on photo-imported tiles to miss. A small dot now marks each tappable tile. • History overlay less opaque: Historical tile shading is lighter so the base map shows through more clearly. • Leaderboard city/landmark scores fixed: City and landmark rankings now show your real counts. • Photo import city dates fixed: City visit dates now reflect when you actually took the photos, not when you imported them.

• Import track files: GPX, CSV, and Wingprint formats now supported for adding historical routes • Tech tree upgrades now feel real: combo grace countdown bar, piggy bank double-reward notification, radar radius ring on the map • Fixed backup file import having no effect after confirmation • Fixed iCloud restore requiring a manual restart to take effect • Fixed total distance showing lower than actual after 120+ sessions • Fixed tile count being inflated when importing from multiple sources

New map skins let you change your territory colors using shards earned from walking. Tech Tree branches now take effect: Radar widens your unlock reach, Piggy Bank randomly doubles shard rewards, and Inertia extends your combo protection window. Fixed GPS drift that added distance while your phone was stationary.

• Color upgrades now burst with a vivid banner and strong haptics — every milestone deserves a moment • All tile level-up and yield events now surface in the HUD, nothing goes unnoticed • Phantom rivals on leaderboards — "Last Week You" and a Goal Line always keep the competition alive • Phantom rivals are visually distinct from real players at a glance • Smoother first-launch experience — you start in the right place, every time
