* Waypoints and Features can be recorded using averaging of a series of GNSS points for (potentially) higher accuracy * Improved compatibility with some WMS services * Fixed setting spatial reference system for rasters that are georeferenced without an explicit spatial reference system * Fixed having to tap ‘Create Layer’ a second time for rasters that are georeferenced without an explicit spatial reference system * Fixed display of spatial reference system for rasters which are reported as non-geographic and non-projected by the sub-system * Fixed crash when unable to read spatial reference system of some raster data sets

Fixed a crash that could occur when creating a waypoint or adding a new feature.

* Web maps accept a “refresh=“ URL GET parameter to automatically refresh to contents of all vector layers on the web map at regular intervals (specify a number of seconds) * Web maps (published from Bit Map to a web server) use a more efficient and more maintainable vector data-loading strategy * Fixed search controller scope initially showing as ‘All Layers’, even when actually using a different scope as selected in an earlier search * Fixed web map displaying blank when basemaps have not been explicitly uploaded from the device * Fixed a crash when enabling sync to webmap for a map layer that does not use a named style

Changes in version 10.0.1: * Renaming a data store automatically updates any map layers that are sourced from that data store to avoid 'broken' map layers Changes in version 10.0: * Select (vector) features by tapping them on the map view * Merge multiple selected line features into a single line feature (Pro version only) * Split selected line feature into two line features (at selected vertex) (Pro version only) * Move vertex of selected feature by dragging (Pro version only) * Delete vertex by double-tap on the vertex of a selected feature (Pro version only) * Delete selected feature(s) * Track Lines, Track Points and Waypoints coordinates include an ‘M’ (timestamp) coordinate (old non-M-aware Track layers should be archived/removed by the user to make way for new M-aware Track layers) * Track line details includes line length (in addition to travelled distance) * View all coordinates for a feature’s geometry (including Z/M, where they exist, M also displayed as formatted timestamp) * Creation of a new layer includes an option to select an existing layer to use as a fields/attributes template (when used in conjunction with copy/paste of layers/features this can be used to convert between points/lines/polygons) * Geometry type display names changed to more widely used names * Added a header with geometry and spatial reference system to Layer/Features table view * New Feature dialogue improved

* Home indicator bar on map view hides when toolbars are hidden for a truly full-screen map (apart from the notch or 'dynamic island') * Swipe-up from bottom of screen (system home/app-switch gesture) does not pan the map * Track points include floor level (for buildings where it is available) - requires deletion and (auto) re-creation of tracking layer or data store (if it exists) * Info panel option to include floor level (for buildings where it is available)

Fixed an issue with copy/paste of features and layers.

Improved logging.

* File Geodatabases (ESRI) can now be updated and created (instead of just read) * Data format can be selected when creating a new data store (which will also update the default) * Data format can be selected when sharing a data store, layer or feature * Automatically converts SRS of features being added to a layer with a different SRS than the original features (where possible) * Map can be panned/zoomed in download extents view * Search is more responsive * Can split a line (such as a track line) based on related vertex-coincident point (such as track point) - original lines/points remain, in addition to two new lines and two new sets of related points * Easier to select an emoji/char for a layer’s style symbol (in the Style Editor’s Symbol Editor) * Improved readability of Map Layer Settings’ transparency slider value * Map Layer action menu includes short cuts to ‘Edit Style’ and ‘Select Style’ (which are still available via that Map Layer Settings view also) * Options to delete related point features (for a line) or related line vertices (for a point) are available for any (recognised) related line/point feature pair, instead of just track lines and track points * Creating or sharing data stores or layers displays the data format of the data store to be created/shared * Web Map zip file and default folder name changed to “map” * Web map URL can explicitly include multiple layers (comma separated) in the URL ‘layer’ parameter, instead of just a single layer or (default) all layers * Web Map respects layer transparency setting * The following settings changed to device-local, not shared across devices: * Map scale factor * Location mode * macOS only: * Default location mode is ‘No Location Display’ * Fixed visibility of tab bar items in style editor * Fixed sharing of data stores, layers and features * Fixed various picker views not appearing * Improved cache handling to avoid some crashes * Fixed display of some basemaps in Web Map (requires re-upload of base maps from Bit Map to web map) * Fixed labelling of fields in New Feature dialogue * Fixed placement of dialogue in download extents view * Fixed vertically-stacked button layout in non-modal dialogues * Fixed entry of layer attributes and special characters in the Style Label Editor * Fixed auto-labelling for layers without standard label attributes * Fixed broken web map for layers that do not use a bundled named style (they now use the ‘default’ style) * Fixed downloading of online maps to offline data stores where WMTS service downloads tiles with an image file path extension that was not picked up in the WMTS configuration * Fixed adding some XYZ map services and display of some XYZ map services * Fixed safe mode not triggering in some situations where it could be required
