Improved GPS Accuracy • Smarter filtering now rejects GPS spikes and jumps that could create false coverage • Better handling of rapid location changes while maintaining accuracy Faster Backups • Backups are now significantly faster, especially for large maps (like 10x faster!) • Lower memory usage during backup for smoother performance

Faster Location Processing Significantly improved performance when processing large batches of locations. Whether you're importing a GPX file, syncing workouts from Apple Health, or catching up on backlogged tracking data after a flight, MapCred now handles it much faster. Improved Background Reliability Fixed an issue that could cause the app to be terminated while tracking in the background. MapCred now runs more efficiently when minimized, so your location tracking continues uninterrupted. Heading direction indicator See what direction you're facing on the user location marker, just like in Apple Maps. Bug Fixes - Fixed GPX import for tracks crossing the International Date Line - Improved timestamp handling for GPX files - General stability improvements

- Backup exports keep showing accurate progress even with huge maps. - GPX/CSV restores accept much larger files (up to ~1 GB).

Import/Export Improvements - Bug fixes that improve reliability Performance & Reliability - Behind-the-scenes improvements

Control MapCred hands-free with new Shortcuts! Now you can start, stop, or toggle location recording without even opening the app, via Shortcuts automations or Siri. New shortcuts: • "Start recording in MapCred" - Begin tracking your adventures instantly • "Stop recording in MapCred" - Pause tracking when you're done • "Toggle recording in MapCred" - Quick on/off switch for recording Perfect for cyclists, runners, and travelers who want to start tracking without fumbling with their phone. Just ask Siri or add these shortcuts to your Control Center for one-tap access.

Fixed: GPX import failed with permissions issue on some devices.

NEW! Import GPX files to transfer progress from other apps or fill in missing trips/flights. NEW! See what % of the world you've uncovered. IMPROVED! 10-15% more efficient location processing. IMPROVED! Accessibility support for VoiceOver.

This update brings major performance improvements, a smoother experience, and a refreshed look—making MapCred better than ever. Fresh New Look • New app icon with improved design and visibility Major Performance Boosts • Location processing is now up to 100x faster • Batch operations reduced from over 10 minutes to under 1 minute • Smoother progress tracking for large data imports Bug Fixes and Stability • Fixed Game Center icon not restoring after workout picker dismissal • Resolved workout picker sorting issues • Fixed startup issue when importing workouts with tracking disabled • Improved error handling and overall reliability Under the Hood • Codebase cleanup and performance optimizations • Better test coverage and error handling • Improved file management and project organization

Bug fix: Workout picker sort order was janky Bug fix: New workout import jobs would pause until location tracking was enabled

Import workout routes recorded on your Apple Watch, smartwatch, or fitness tracker via Apple Health. Enhanced recording reliability by processing location data in the background, eliminating the need to buffer and process when the app is in the foreground.

Improved map visibility by minimizing the "Play Loops" button. Optimized battery life by reducing internal logging. Fixed bug where recording buffer took a long time to catch up after flights with sparse GPS reception.

Fixed bug where recording buffer would grow too large. Added satellite view option to map.

Bug fix: Reduced memory usage while running in background to avoid iOS jettisoning app during memory pressure.

Added automated crash analytics

Bug fix: Cred sometimes wasn't being recorded if you were staying perfectly still (i.e. was GPS coordinates in succession).

Better background reliability. Fixed issue where app would stop running in the background on iOS 16.4+.

BUG FIXES: Fixed reliability issue where app sometimes stopped recording in the background. Restored "Disable recording" feature. Smooths out noisy GPS readings. Fixed some gaps in recordings when location dropped out.

We have addressed certain technical concerns within our application by releasing a patch aimed at improving the overall user experience. In response to certain issues that arose after the implementation of the "disable recording" feature, we have decided to temporarily remove it. We understand that this feature is valued by our users and we will continue to work diligently to address the issues that caused its malfunction. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we strive to provide the highest level of functionality and quality within our application.

Improved recording reliability.

NEW! Ability to disable recording if you want to travel incognito. IMPROVED! More reliable background writes by capping in-memory cache to 5 mins of data.

This is a major update that significantly improves battery life, reliability, and tracking quality. On first run, it will upgrade the database, which may take a few mins depending on how much cred you've got. NEW! Backup and restore using industry-standard CSV files. NEW! GPS interpolation delivers smoother, more complete tracks by filling in the gaps between satellite readings. No more spotty tracks during flights. NEW! Battery-aware background processing delivers significantly better battery life by deferring many compute-intensive tasks until the phone is plugged into power. NEW! Automatic background restart. If iOS terminated MapCred and you've traveled more than 1/4mi, MapCred will automatically resume journaling in the background. IMPROVED! Smaller runtime memory footprint to make background operation more reliable. IMPROVED! Fog of World import is 8-9% faster thanks to AI-driven code optimizations. IMPROVED! Significantly lower bandwidth usage for Game Center score updates. IMPROVED! Lower battery usage during Speed Runs. IMPROVED! Progress indicators during score updates. IMPROVED! Clearer error message when encountering an invalid file during Fog of World import. IMPROVED! Loops button is hidden from Share screenshots. FIXED! Score would sometimes erroneously show as 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 for very large databases. FIXED! Export CSV's memory footprint for very large databases sometimes caused iOS to terminate the app. ... and a lot of minor bug fixes.

NEW! "Speed Run": Pop quiz, hotshot. There's a game in a phone. Once the phone goes 50 miles an hour, the timer is armed. If it drops below 50, your time goes on the leaderboard. What do you do? What do you do? IMPROVED! AI-optimized core routines maximize battery life for users. Heatmap calculation is now 61% more efficient. IMPROVED! Fixed a bug where Game Center button sometimes disappeared.
