Compass 55. Version 1.9.5, what's new?
Taking images/photos workflow to the next level
You’ll find a new camera button inside the “New waypoint” menu item. This button opens a camera screen that allows you to take photos with location, date, and notes overlay:
The settings button on this camera screen will open settings that are specific to the camera capture and location/date overlay.
Feature set:
- Optional automatic saving to photo library as original and/or stamped photo.
- Annotating stamped/original photo by free hand drawings:
- 4 fields available for optional notes.
- Original photo is kept with a point and can be re-stamped at any moment with different notes/annotation.
- Image notes are kept separately, shown in the points list, and you can search/filter by them.
- Import photos from the photo library, decode location data in them, add them as points, and stamp them with note/annotation/location.
Optimizations for working with images/photos:
- In the points list, you can open a full-screen image preview by tapping on it in the point row — no need to open the point itself to access the image:
Opening a photo from the photo library in the point editor will offer options to apply location, title, and note data from the photo.
You can export/save a waypoint photo/image to the photo library, send by email, save to Dropbox/Files — no more lock-in and no need to use point export for sharing the image.
When you change notes on the point’s photo or re-take the photo for the point, the app will offer to apply new photo location/title/note to the waypoint.
Tap on a point on the map to open a menu with the image preview, if the point has an image attached:
- This menu will also show point and image notes. Tap on the image preview to open a full-screen preview where you can add annotations or edit image notes.
### Miscellany ###
- Added “Select all” option for selecting waypoints in the waypoints list. This allows you to export/delete all filtered/searched points with two taps.
