Compass 55. Beta version 1.9.

Beta version 1.9.1

Google map option for all map screens (beta 25-June-2018, build 83)

Until now Google map was only available for the main map screen - all other map screens used either Apple or Custom/Offline maps. This update brings Google map as the first class citizen to all map screens:

Waypoint editor, Track view, Black box, Trip tracks.

Only one feature that Google map doesn't support - coloring tracks by speed or altitude. You'll have to switch to Apple or Custom/Offline maps to use this feature, as before.

Tiny, but hopefully useful compass on all maps. More options for the "navigate - search/browse" button. (beta 25-June-2018, build 83)

While unifying all maps in the app, it was important to provide a unified map compass experience as well. Here is how this tiny map compass looks:

As part of this work I also changed the default behavior of the button that compass is shown around. Previously this button would just switch between "navigate" mode - when map would follow your location and direction of travel and "search/browse" mode - when you can search on the map, browse and create/edit objects.

By default, this button now opens options for showing/hiding objects on a map, plus switching between "navigate" and "search/browse" mode:

If you think that old way of switching between navigate and search/browse modes was more convenient, you can use map settings to revert the behavior to a one tap switch:

Option to edit/move waypoint directly on the main screen (beta 25-June-2018, build 83)

In map search/browse mode, tap on a waypoint to reveal new option: Move:

Now you can move the map until red arrow points to the new waypoint location:

Screen elements to highlight here:

#1 - Waypoint that is being edited.

#2 - Red line from the original waypoint location to the new location.

#3 - Red arrow (in map center) showing new waypoint location.

#4 - Waypoint course/angle button. Shows/hides waypoint course/angle editor. In the image above course/angle editor is a gray circle around the new waypoint location. Tap anywhere in that gray circle to set waypoint approach angle/course. Tapping on this button #4 will hide the angle editor.

#5 - New in version 1.9 - geo coded address of a map center.

Bottom left red arrow button also gives you more options from version 1.9:

- Move to the current location

- Show/hide red arrow (map center) details. Red arrow details are: coordinates, distance from the current location, map or red arrow angle, geo coded address.

Use Cancel or Done buttons to cancel or confirm the waypoint move.
