    Compass 55. Version 2.0.

    Optimizations for iOS 13.4.

    Apple has fixed a few bugs in iOS 13.4 and we were able to either optimize from our side or remove some workarounds.

    Option to show route and polygon connection points as small dots.

    This was a popular request, great to have it implemented!

    To enable, open map settings > common settings and down to the bottom you’ll find a new “Annotations” section to set this up.

    Option to setup zone (enter/leave) alerts for the polygonal zone.

    This was available for the circle zones only. Now this is available for the polygonal zones as well.

    Note:

    If you had zone alerts configured for your own location, you’ll have to configure these again in version 2.0.

    Option to order points list by the date of creation (descending), instead of a date of the last update.

    By default, points in the list are ordered by the date of their last update. Whenever you’d update anything on the point, it would jump to the top of the list and this might not be the best default for all scenarios. From version 2.0 you can change default order to point creation date. To change, tap on the filter button in the points list and pick “Created” as a sort by field:

    Camera tool - filling metadata IPTC Object Name field with Original or Stamped hint.

    Thanks to Dwayne (Canada) for requesting this feature. Now IPTC Object Name is populated with either “Original_” or “Stamped_” prefix plus capture date, so you can distinguish easily between original and stamped images based on metadata:

    Improvements.

    • Added a confirmation popup before deleting multiple selected points in points list.
    • Point collection editor is not capitalizing every word in the collection name anymore.
    • Using WMM 2020 magnetic declination model.
    • Showing magnetic declination with a decimal point accuracy.
    • Improved algorithm for showing tracks on a Google map.
    • Improved GPX tracks import, especially for drones where instantaneous speed is often written directly into the trkpt element and speed can’t be reliably deduced from the distance and timing between distinct trkpt points.

    Bug fixes.

    • Fixed an issue with some sharing options not being properly presented for iPads on iOS 13.3.

    Camera tool:

    • Fixed the bug when TIFF and IPTC comment metadata fields were not updated on the original photo when image notes were changed via photo notes editor.
    • Fixed the bug when changes to photo notes at the image preview stage were not propagated to the “global” photo notes settings to apply to the future photos by default.
