Lately, there have been problems with receiving updates to the Android app. This is due to the fact that Google has been rejecting our updates for several months without adequate justification. Read more in this article:
Users have long requested a ruler that can measure not only straight distances but also along any broken line. Finally, I’ve gotten around to it.
First, I decided to rename this feature to “Navigation to Point.” I believe this will make it clearer for new users, while existing users likely won’t mind the change.
As promised. Free maps based on Open Street Map can now be downloaded to Susanin, used offline, and you don’t have to worry about them disappearing at the worst possible moment.
I tried to get the most out of mobile GPS capabilities. Of course, this doesn’t mean you’ll get centimeter-level accuracy while sitting in a basement 🙂 but overall, the margin of error in determining coordinates has been significantly reduced.
The main focus of this update for me was a long-requested feature – synchronizing app data with the cloud. This feature has been requested for several years, in reviews on the Play Market, as well as emails sent to me. I had delayed it for a long time because, firstly, there were more priority tasks, and secondly, I needed to think through the entire mechanism to make it the most convenient and reliable point synchronization ever invented!
The main focus was on solving issues related to new and still unpolished features, such as map downloading and the new point search mode. In addition, several highly useful features were added, in my opinion. Of course, there are also new map sets. Let’s go through everything step by step 🙂
This update includes a bit of everything: a few improvements from me, some long-requested features by users, and a few new map sets for download. Let’s go through everything in order.
Ever since I added support for custom maps in the app, I’ve wanted to make it possible to download these maps directly from the app. So that users wouldn’t spend time and nerves searching for these maps on the internet or mastering different programs to create these maps.
A much larger update is in the works, but unfortunately, I couldn’t prepare it in time, so I’ve released a smaller update instead. Here’s a quick overview.
