It brings an enhancement for Apple Watch : when a trace is followed on the Watch, a double tap centers the map on the beginning of the followed track. Reminders : 1) if the followed tracks includes routing points, centering is done on those, in sequence. 2) a simple tap center back the map on current position.
Miscellaneous bug fixes, including :
• A bug when the reticle button (on the left) disappeared when the maps copyrights string was too wide.
• A problem when importing a GPX file of a track with included markers. These were not saved properly.
11.3
2021-03-10
This minor release automaticaly acrivate free Swiss maps. It fixes a black screen bug on iOS9/10 and a bug freezing bulk map downloading when server is unavailable. Several other minor fixes.
New on versions 11 :
• French IGN is releasing acces to many maps and ressources in 2021. More specificaly :
• Most usefuls maps for outdoors activities, topographics maps from scan of TOP25 and TOP100 remain subject to subscription.
• This subscription now includes aviation maps from OACI. The specific subscription option disappears.
• The litoral maps layer is no longer availaible. The specific subscription option disappears. Valid purchased options will be served until end of validity.
• All IGN layers are now arranged in 3 separate sections : "abonné", "libre" et "historique". The last two sections are free access.
• A new layer is available in the "libre" section : "Plan IGN V2". It dispays elevation lines, cover all zooms and most French territories.
• A new cadastral parcels layer : "cadastre vectoriel"
• Track editing tools
• It is now possible to create two separates tracks by dividing a source track at a segment beginning. While editing a track, when selecting the first segment "pebble", the tool icon in the toolbar changes and triggers the 2 tracks generation.
• It is now possible to delete any segment of a track, unless it is unique. Also by selecting the first segment "pebble" and then "trash" tool.
• Voice guidance through text to speech. When editing a track/route, a point which is a beacon (one can add a beacon on any point with the dedicated tool) now dispalys an info bubble with a ⓘ button. This button dispays an inspector to define the text to be spoken when reaching the beacon point. Optionally a distance can be set to hear a prior annoucement of the text. Most used texts can be saved and are available in a selector.
We are expecting that this new feature will qualify iPhiGéNie for a CarPlay version.

10.10
Here is the summer release of iPhiGéNie 10th year.
It brings a complete rewrite of the Watch code, now able to run autonomous, becoming the only one application with autonomous IGN maps on you wrist.
The autonomous capacities depend on the Watch model. Only models of series 3-4-5, featuring the eSIM option ans having this one activated by the cellular provider, can load maps in total autonomy :
Function autonomous iPhone linked
Display maps loaded in the Watch tous modèles
Display its position on maps series 2+ all models
Load maps from cellular network serie 3+ (SIM) all models
Follow a pre-loaded track series 2+ all models (One needs to load the track from the iPhone before leaving)
GoTo waypoint/marker series 2+ all models (One needs to load the marker from the iPhone before leaving)
Rotation of the map with the compass series 5+ series 5+ (iPhone compass gives iPhone orientation not Watch orientation)
It is not necessary for iPhiGéNie to run on the iPhone for positionning and map loading to work.
iPhiGéNie must run on iPhone to :
• Initialize the licenses configuration and refresh when renewing.
• Change the displayed map layer and other preferences.
• Select the track/route to follow. Same for a marker in GoTo mode.
• Upload recorded track from the watch to diplay, modify, save it on the iPhone.
It is possible to record several tracks in a row, without reconnecting to the iPhone. Only the last one is displayed on the Watch, but previous tracks are kept saved until the iPhone reconnect and the upload done.
Finally, iPhiGéNie capabilities on the Watch are now on par with what was possible on an iPhone in the beginning.

For iPhiGéNie's 10 years, here is the version 10, with :
• SwissTopo : Often wished by our customers, here are the Swiss topographic maps. The yearly subscription does not limit your map usage. Nevertheless, since SwissTopo charge us on the tiles number, and for us to preserve the subscription price, please do not load unneeded map sectors.
• A non-invasive information channel : When we have some new information to publish, the main info button, on top of the general menu, turns red. Touching it opens the News page. This page afterwards remains available from the regular Info screen.
• GPX export/import for whole group : if one create a GPX file by exporting a group of tracks or markers, importing this file in iPhiGéNie will create automatically a named group containing imported objects.
• GPX export now use the standard iOS share sheet dialog. This allows to share the file through Mail, Message, Airdrop, to save it in iCloud or open it in any GPX capable application.
• Printing now uses the same dialog, allowing to share the générated image through the medium of choice. In case of effective printing, scaling has been improved to allow using a rule to mesure distances on the printed page.
Other minor improvements :
• Natively opens special "geo:" URLs, creating an automatic marker at the position linked.
• Activating the tracking of a track, with active sound alerts, now keeps the GPS alive in background for the sound warning to work. Even if track recording is not started.
Bug fixes :
• An regression since iOS 13, preventing the automatic refresh of the map on the Watch.
• Launching iPhiGéNie in landscape mode on iPhone is working again.
