What’s new
Version 1.8.2 · Updated October 16, 2026
Higher GPS precision: coordinates in your recording files now carry 6 decimal places instead of 4, about 0.1 m to 1 m accuracy rather than 11 m. This makes it easier to plot recordings on a map or process them in other tools. Your existing recordings are not modified in any way.
