- New feature: Climb Record and Mountain Memories. Want to see all of the Memories you have for a specific peak? Do you wish to see all the peaks you summited in a Memory? Then this feature is for you!
- Additional app icons! Dueling Peaks and 3D Landscape.
- New map style: Winter!
- Optimizations to Memories. Section and lifetime summaries should load much faster and use less memory.
- Improvements to Memories updater. Fewer failures due to reverse geocoding the region and more aggressive caching for regions and default thumbnails.
- Added a new view to Memories which shows the current background update progress. When Landscape is updating details of Memories (fetching elevation profile, calculating distance, locating region,...) this view will show that status. Bringing this process to the foreground should hopefully provide some confidence that Landscape is working as intended.
- Faster loading of Mountain pages.
- Fixed a bug where importing a GPX/KML file from a share sheet would fail.
- Fixed a bug where multiple annotations would b e shown for the same mountain on the map
- Fixed a bug where anticipated climb date for a Plan would not update in the Plans list.

Mountain and peak search, lots of smaller improvements and fixes across the board.
New
* Mountain and peak search. Find any mountain by searching from Explore, then plan your next climb.
Improved:
* 3D Mountain terrain zoom calculation is better. Larger areas are faster to load and smaller areas are more detailed.
* Stat for number of peaks climbed is more accurate.
Fixed
* Memories imported from a KML file now use the correct name rather than the filename.
* Repeated time labels on elevation graphs are omitted.
* Summit stat no longer commonly shows “-3 ft”.
* Stats without a value show an empty indicator.
2022.1
2022-05-30
Big update; rebuilds of Explore and Memories, Lifetime and year by year Memories stats, Peak Lists, and so much more.
New:
- Ground up rebuilds of Explore and Memories. Adding new experiences, rich data, and fresh content.
- Lifetime and year by year Memories stats. See your total gain, distance, peaks climbed, and more.
- 3D Mountain Labels. Just as simple as it sounds. Expect this to get better, this is an early edition.
- Landscape knows of more mountains and peaks from across the globe… like _a lot_ more.
- Peak Lists. Colorado 14ers, California 14ers, Adirondack High Peaks,… Landscape has a growing set of peaks lists to follow.
- Peak List Tracking. Landscape can automatically keep track of which mountains you’ve climbed and show your progress.
- My List: Keep track of mountains and peak you would like to climb.
- App Storage management. From the Settings tab you can go to App Storage and manage map downloads and various caches. Automatic cache pruning coming soon.
Improved:
- Planning for a climb is easier and the various ways of doing so are more obvious. Search for a mountain or import a KML/GPX file.
- The stats view in Record has been fixed up into a drawer. You can now get a full view of the map by getting the stats out of the way.
Fixed:
- Sometimes when recording your climb it would become paused during a period of inactivity. I thought this would be a nice capability but the resume event often never came, usually resulting in a big chunk of your climb being missed. That capability is removed for now.
- Some potential crashes that likely were never hit.
