- Route planning now stays focused on one next step. Drafting, progress, comparison, weather, recovery, and navigation replace one another instead of stacking competing cards or actions. - Route review now opens with the differences that matter: duration, distance, safety, and weather. Detailed legs, timeline playback, sharing, and advanced controls remain available when you ask for them. - iPad route planning now uses a chart-first side inspector, while iPhone keeps one compact bottom workflow with the trip action always reachable. - Sailing setup now has one clear departure action with quick choices and the native date/time picker. Confirming a changed departure replaces the prior sailing calculation using the same reviewed route corridor. - Forecast choices now show only models with complete wind, wave, and current information for the selected route and departure. Unsupported choices no longer appear or hold route progress open. - Route forecasts now use one versioned environment snapshot across iPhone, iPad, and the web planner. Every route requires complete wind and wave coverage, while current coverage is clearly identified when available. - Wind alternatives now compare independent forecast providers against the same wave and current conditions instead of mixing different sea states. - Long and complex routes now follow connected navigable water without fixed regional shortcuts or hidden route sections. - Routes may travel around peninsulas, island chains, and managed canals when the safe path cannot keep moving directly toward the finish. - Selected beach and shoreline places can resolve to nearby navigable water, while positions tapped directly on the chart remain exactly where placed. - Chart depth and contour overlays now stay steady while you pan or change scale, including brief moments when the chart is still drawing. - Route results now include enough bounded detail in automatic diagnostics to reproduce an implausible detour without storing the full route line. - Navyo now uses the same faster routing method on iPhone, iPad, and the web planner while retaining the same shoreline, endpoint, weather, and waypoint safety checks. - Heading Up in Cruise mode now keeps position, scale, and direction together during live movement and manual zoom. North Up keeps the chart fixed while the boat symbol shows the same corrected direction. - Route planning and weather review are calmer and easier to scan. Important cautions now appear once, where you can act on them, instead of repeating across the chart and route cards. - Route choices use compact comparisons, while the selected route keeps the full safety and weather explanation. - Route calculations are easier to follow. Navyo now shows progress one waypoint leg at a time instead of listing every calculation step. - The active route button includes an estimated progress fill, so long routes always show that work is moving forward and remain easy to stop. - Motor and Sailing options now start together. A slow option no longer holds back another route that is ready to use. - Sailing choices now avoid short, artificial loops when switching between motor assist and sail, keeping the route moving toward your destination.

- Route planning, Cruise, Search, Weather, and offline guidance now use shorter, more natural wording focused on the next useful action. - Expanded Cruise introduces GPS, COG, SOG, HDG, TWS, and AWS in a compact one-time `Boat terms` guide while keeping the underway chart uncluttered. - Worldwide marine places now use purpose-drawn Navyo vector markers for marinas, harbours, anchorages, moorings, fuel, provisions, beaches, airports, and other useful destinations, with names attached to their markers. - A fresh chart opens near your current position when location is available, while returning from another app refreshes distance information without moving a chart you are browsing. - Global marine-place Search now distinguishes locations with locality and proximity, including both Marina Frapa locations. - Place cards now present the useful routing action for the current route state, with reliable Start, Destination, and waypoint placement from POIs or chart taps. - Cruise Heading Up now follows the steadier GPS course while moving, uses a filtered compass while slow or stopped, and keeps the boat bow aligned with the same stabilized chart bearing. - Wind particles and high-resolution bathymetry stay aligned with the chart while panning and zooming, with near-global wind, gust, and wave coverage. - Fresh launches show clear, non-blocking data preparation progress while charts, Search, route safety, and forecasts become ready.

- Cruise Heading Up now follows your actual GPS course while underway, so turning the iPhone no longer rotates the chart away from the boat's path. - The Cruise course vector now begins cleanly at the boat's bow while preserving its true projected endpoint. - If you stop route preparation, Navyo now keeps your route points and shows clear choices to restart the options or clear the draft. - Search and chart place actions now use one clear routing flow, with Route here, Set as start, Set as destination, and Add waypoint shown only when useful. - Route-point taps now remain ready after a shoreline check or temporary planning problem, so the next valid chart tap can complete the route.
