What's new

1. IPHONE 5: Full iPhone 5 resolution screens.
2. FIND NEARBY ROUTES FROM WITHIN THE APP:
― View a list of all the public routes near you- in the app.
― Shows distance from your current location as well as the length of each route.
― Plan ahead by searching for routes near other locations, using the map to pick an area.
― Preview the route description before downloading it.
3. CENTRE & ZOOM: Choose what the centre button does- either just ‘centre’ or ‘zoom and centre’. This is great for biking (or other faster sports) since you can keep the map zoomed a little further out for greater overall perspective.
4. ROUTE CREATION: Improved Route building process- you can now simply tap out the route on the map making the route building process simpler and faster.
5. CLEARER DIRECTION VIEW: We have made the direction of view more obvious making it much easier to see which way to go in bright light (i.e. outside).
