What’s new

Version 1.0.1 · Updated April 1, 2026

We refreshed the map screen: compact controls for Follow, North up, and map appearance (standard, muted, hybrid, satellite). Start and Stop are clearer, with a consistent size — green outline when tracking is on, red when it’s off. In Settings → Trail history, you can choose how long your path stays on the map (or turn it off). Trail segments use speed-based colors as a simple hint (walking, cycling, motorized). Smaller polish and stability improvements around the map and controls.
