New and worth mentioning:

Version 6.0 (May 2026)

Intermediate stops to mileage and cost estimates, more natural automatic voice guidance with smarter handling of numbers and time across all languages.

Version 6.0 details (tap to expand)

Mileage and Cost Calculator
- Add intermediate stops to your estimates, making them more precise and useful for cost planning, reimbursement records, and tax reporting.
More Natural Voice Guidance
- Navigation hints, voice coach announcements, and waypoint proximity alerts now use the best available voice automatically, with improved handling of plurals, decimals, numbers, and time or duration announcements across all supported languages.
Trip Tracks and Offline Maps
- Fixed track numbers not being shown on the map when viewing all tracks for a trip. Start and end markers now match the track numbers from the trip track list.
- Pinned tracks can now be shown on the offline map download screen, giving better spatial awareness when choosing which region to download.
Drawing Tools for GPS Camera and Ground Overlays
- GPS Camera drawing tools received a major update with text, dimension, and selection tools.
- The new drawing tools and options can now also be used when editing ground map image overlays.
- Drawings are no longer hardcoded into photos or ground image overlays on save, so they can be edited later.
Import Fixes
- Improved error handling when importing incomplete or corrupted trip archives.
- Fixed GPX import so the import options page closes correctly after import, and the Cancel button works as expected.

Version 5.9 (April 2026)

Expanded motion analysis, mapping, and trip management — including EV cost tracking, multi-track pinning, online map caching, a reworked trip editor, and new Pitch & Roll and G-Force visualization tools.

Version 5.9 details (tap to expand)

Reworked trip editor to streamline initial mileage setup and ongoing trip counter management (set/reset total and current counters).
EV support : cost, consumption parameters, and driving range. Track cost is now based on the cost parameters saved with the track at completion, not the current settings.
Pinned tracks upgraded : add multiple pinned tracks to the map (no longer limited to one). Customize color and line width, save pinned sets as presets, and apply them when needed.
Online source map cache : tiles are now cached to improve map browsing and reduce mobile data usage and load on map providers.
Pitch & Roll mode: central and micro panels to improve spatial awareness and safety (off-road limits, motorhome balancing, etc.). Includes customizable alerts for unsafe angles and recovery back to safe ranges.
G-Force mode (reworked): central and micro panels now feature G-Bowl alongside the G-Force graph. Includes customizable alerts for overloads on any axis. Measure your limits — and choose whether to stay within them or push beyond.

Version 5.8 adds:

Ability to rename track categories (Settings > Advanced > GPS Tracking > Customize category names) to match your activities or business.
Ability to set distinct remuneration/tax refund amounts per category before generating the PDF mileage report.

Soon

Version 6.1 (June 2026)

Track together: introducing Channels — plus an adjustable active track line width.

Version 6.1 details (tap to expand)

Channels — share your live location, your way. Channels replace GPS Beacons. While tracking, share your live location through a private web link (with optional password protection), or inside a shared group channel where members follow each other directly in the app or on the web. Join an existing channel, or create your own and invite others to follow or participate.
- GPS Beacons users: your capability didn’t go away — it grew. Everything a beacon did, Channels now do, plus group following.
Adjustable active track line width. Set how thick the active track appears on the map in Map Settings → Common Map Settings → Active Track Line Width. The thinnest width is now the default for better map visibility.
Pitch & Roll Panels
- Added motorcycle graphics — switch between the default car and the optional motorcycle image in the panel settings (3-dots menu → “All settings”).
- Added an airplane image option.
- Fixed panels incorrectly using the same rear vehicle image on iOS 15.
Voice Guidance
- Added a new option in General Sound Settings to explicitly select which device voice is used for voice guidance and announcements.
Maps and Tracks
- Active tracks are now always displayed above pinned tracks for better visibility while navigating.
- Fixed the Course line that could disappear after sending the app to the background and returning to it.
Import & Export
- Improved KML and KMZ export/import with better compatibility and more reliable fallback handling for point descriptions and notes.
Other Fixes
- Fixed an occasional crash in the export file name pattern editor on iOS 17.
- Fixed a very rare crash on iOS 15 when applying filters in the Trips & Tracks list.
- Fixed an issue where bottom action buttons were not shown for selected waypoint collections on smaller screens in iOS 26.

Version 6.1 is now available as a public beta version.

Available in public beta (release date TBD):

G-Cross mode and G-Bands panels for alternative visualization and analysis of acceleration trends and peak values.
Road Survey and Camera Rig utilities within the new Motion Quality mode.
Designed for measuring road quality or tuning your camera rig (or any mounted device) for safety, comfort, and stability.
Resonance Scan mode — for dialing in custom setups and identifying vibration and resonance behavior.

These features are currently available only in the public beta while we refine them together with beta users before the App Store release.
