Here I Am Now! 4.1:
Updated Here I Am Now! using the latest version of Xcode to avoid potential problems when running on iOS 11 or earlier.
Here I Am Now! 4.0:
Implemented Dark Mode for iOS 13 and made changes to the iOS App to facilitate creation of an Independent Watch App.
Corrected errors that resulted in multiple instances of overlapping spoken addresses with iOS 13.
Changed spoken street addresses to only occur when there is a single street number (previously only the street name would be spoken if there was a street number range or no street number - but this resulted in excessive spoken addresses when traveling fast). Touching the street address display will still produce a spoken street address even with the Voice Switch OFF.
The Voice Switch on the iOS App no longer controls the Voice Switch on the Watch App and vice versa (the Voice Switch on either device only controls the voice on that particular device).
Created an independent Watch App for watchOS 6.
Added voice synthesis to the Watch App (previously the Watch App did not speak addresses).
Touching the Street Number on the Watch will speak the current street address.
The default setting for watch autorotation is now OFF, but can be turned ON in the Settings. When turned ON, the watch display will autorotate when the wrist is turned away from the body, allowing friends to see an upright image of the map display merely by rotating your wrist.

Added a capability to control voice rate, voice pitch and voice language from within the Here I Am Now! App while the App is running. You can now also control the default App settings from within the App. Synthesized voice rate and voice pitch can be adjusted for best intelligibility for the language being used. Here I Am Now! will normally use the system default language. However, you can easily change the language being spoken to US English, British English, Spanish, or French while the App is running.
Added localizations for Spanish and French. All displays have been localized for these two languages. The displayed address is dependent upon the reverse geocoding data received for the local locale. Spoken house and street numbers will in general be spoken in the default language selected. For localized languages, certain common words such as the direction (North, South, East, West, North East, South East, North West and South West) and common street designations such as Street, Avenue, and Boulevard are translated to the localized language for speech.
Added a capability to speak the current address whenever you touch the address field at the bottom of the screen (speaks even when voice is turned off).
Fixed an issue that prevented Here I Am Now! from launching under iOS 8, and made several improvements to the presentation of displayed information and fixed several miscellaneous minor bugs.
