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

[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

Fixed GPS drift that added distance while your phone was stationary.
