**New** - Measure distances on the map: tap to drop points and see the distance of each leg plus a running total at the top. Works with or without an active trip, on both the standard and OpenSeaMap charts. - Name your positions: add a location name to any logbook entry, with tap-to-fill suggestions based on where you are. Names appear in the entry and in your PDF logbook. - Faster trip replay: play back your track at 4× and 8×, in addition to 1× and 2×. - Customizable Navigation tiles: long-press either metric tile to choose from SOG, SOG AVG, HDG, COG, CTS, DTW, TTW, DTD, TTD and HEEL. - Show or hide waypoints on the map with a new button — toggles your waypoints and route together. - Choose your logbook map: export the PDF with either a vector or a satellite chart. **Improved** - The line to your active waypoint is now dotted for easier readability. - Trip durations over 24 hours now show as days and hours on shared photos and videos. - Anchor Watch: the swing circle is now a clean outline, and the drift trail uses smaller dots that fade with age. - Cleaner logbook PDFs — the speed legend moved to the top-left so it no longer covers the map credit, and the "Entries" heading always stays with the first entry. - Cockpit data (SOG, COG and position) now appears reliably on video and photo overlays. - Anchor logbook entries no longer show meaningless course and speed. - Deleting large trips no longer freezes the app — it now runs in the background with a progress indicator.
