This is a major update that significantly improves battery life, reliability, and tracking quality. On first run, it will upgrade the database, which may take a few mins depending on how much cred you've got.
NEW! Backup and restore using industry-standard CSV files.
NEW! GPS interpolation delivers smoother, more complete tracks by filling in the gaps between satellite readings. No more spotty tracks during flights.
NEW! Battery-aware background processing delivers significantly better battery life by deferring many compute-intensive tasks until the phone is plugged into power.
NEW! Automatic background restart. If iOS terminated MapCred and you've traveled more than 1/4mi, MapCred will automatically resume journaling in the background.
IMPROVED! Smaller runtime memory footprint to make background operation more reliable.
IMPROVED! Fog of World import is 8-9% faster thanks to AI-driven code optimizations.
IMPROVED! Significantly lower bandwidth usage for Game Center score updates.
IMPROVED! Lower battery usage during Speed Runs.
IMPROVED! Progress indicators during score updates.
IMPROVED! Clearer error message when encountering an invalid file during Fog of World import.
IMPROVED! Loops button is hidden from Share screenshots.
FIXED! Score would sometimes erroneously show as 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 for very large databases.
FIXED! Export CSV's memory footprint for very large databases sometimes caused iOS to terminate the app.
... and a lot of minor bug fixes.
