Compass 55. Map & GPS kit‪.‬ 4+

◆ Overzoom and underzoom for offline maps:
‣ Allows to show the offline map for zoom levels that are not downloaded or imported.
‣ With overzoom you can download zoom level 2-16 and let the map upscale from zoom level 16 to 17-19 as you zoom in.
‣ Overzoom and underzoom is applied automatically, no need to set up anything.
‣ For the best experience with offline or custom/blank maps on iOS 16, please be sure to have iOS 16.4 or later.
◆ Improvements for land navigation:
‣ New automatic check-in option that allows to check-in by simply entering the circle around the target.
‣ Settings button in the 'Set Target' menu now opens the land navigation settings screen.
‣ 'Set Target' menu now shows information on navigation settings.
‣ Both Estimated Time En Route (ETE) and Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) are now supported for land/air navigation targets. Tap on ETE display to switch to ETA and vice versa.
◆ Track list improvements. MENU > Tracks:
‣ Track list now shows total mileage and duration for each day with tracks recorded.
‣ Applied filter, number of shown tracks and their total distance is now shown at the bottom of the track list.
‣ Added option to search/filter by text.
‣ When track note is shown in the tracks list, you can tap on a note button to edit track fields: name, note, start/end address.
◆ You can now trim recorded track at its end.
◆ Points list now shows a footer with help and description for the applied filter and sort order, so there is no confusion for what and why is shown in the list.
◆ First iteration on integration with bluetooth sensors:
‣ Heart rate
‣ Cycling speed
‣ Cycling cadence
- Can be useful for cyclists or custom bike/vehicle builders.
- Completely optional. Available for iOS 17 and higher.
- If you want to connect bluetooth sensors, swipe through on the bottom (in portrait) or left (in landscape) panel until you see the new bluetooth sensors panel. Or use ⋮ button in the bottom or left panel to show the new bluetooth panel.
◆ Camera tool:
‣ You can now re-apply comments from existing points/photos to fill all manual comment fields for the new photo, at once. Should give a productivity boost for re-inspections. It's a new bottom section in the comments editor screen.
‣ Removed full swipe delete gesture in the list of photos as it was causing unwanted deletes. Thank you for the feedback! You can still delete by swipe, but need to swipe and then tap on the delete button.
‣ Scanner section is added to the photo notes editor. Scanner allows to extract lines of text from QR, barcode or texts and assign them to the note fields.
‣ Now you can configure the automatic photo title that goes far beyond the timestamp. Combine collection name, timestamp, custom text and auto increment number in any way that suits best your work or project. Timestamp still stays as a default automatic photo title.
‣ When viewing saved photos, the app now remembers if your last view choice was the original photo or stamped. No need to switch to the stamped view everytime, your preference is now remembered.
- If this breaks your current workflow anyhow, you can configure different viewing preferences. Settings > Viewing saved photos.
‣ When you open photo from the points list, the app now provides controls to navigate through the adjacent photos in the points list, without the need to return to the list. You can swipe through or use left/right arrows.
◆ Google maps updated to version 8.4.0.
◆ Removed support for iOS 12-14. Supported iOS versions are now 15, 16, 17. You can still install older app versions on the devices with older iOS versions.
◆ From iOS 17.5, barometer related functions require access to 'Motion & Fitness'. The app now provides visual hints to enable the access, where required.
