New: Horizon Profile for spots (PRO edit, free view). Planning is now smarter with local obstructions (objects, Milky Way, moon impact). Horizon data syncs only to your account/devices (private). Fixed duplicate saves from community spots. Improved first-try save/refresh reliability and overall stability.
