This update includes two new features that greatly enhance the offline and online app experience.
(1) Offline Maps: until now, when your device disconnects from the internet while recording a route, the app stops getting new terrain images to display on the map. This new feature allows you to download this map data, so that when you record a route, when disconnected, you have a map with all the terrain data.
To start using this feature, there are a couple of necessary steps. First, you must download a map by opening your user profile screen and tapping the folder button in the top left corner. Then, tap the "Add Map" button. This will show you a list of the available maps for download. Choose the map you need, and wait for it to download. Finally, you can enable this map in the route recorder by tapping the settings button in the top left and selecting the "Offline" option. By the way, this is currently in beta and is restricted to a limited number of maps, but we are planning on adding many more in the future.
(2) Live Tracking: you can now share your live location and your progress while recording. This feature requires that your device is connected to the internet, but do not worry if you lose connection momentarily, the app will store your progress while offline and update our Live Tracking Service when the device reconnects, so your contacts watching your progress will not miss any detail.
To enable this feature, open the route recorder, then tap the settings button in the top left and enable the "Share your location" switch, this will open the sharing options so you can send the live tracking link to any of your contacts. This link opens our Live Tracking Service in a web browser. Anyone with the link can watch your progress, there are no user accounts needed.
