What’s new
Updated November 3, 2026
Fixed: after a jumpy GPS fix, moving time could count the same stretch more than once, so a walk's pace looked slower than it was. Improved: recording a walk uses less battery. The map follows you more calmly, only moves when you near the edge of the view, and no longer redraws every second for the clock. Improved: opening a trail from a link no longer reloads every nearby trail's route.
