Changes contained in this release: 1 - Compass support 2 - Maps 3 - Statistics 4 - Power Management 5 - Settings 1) Compass support Support has been added for the compass hardware that is built into newer phones. The existing Heading has been split into two: - Heading: The direction your phone is pointing. - Course: The direction of travel calculated from the GPS data.

However the Course will be shown once sufficient GPS data has been collected. 2) Maps Street and Topographic maps are now available on the Map tab. Maps are provided care of the following sources: - OpenStreetMap.org - OpenCycleMap.org - OpenPisteMap.org By default OpenCycleMap.org is used to provide a topographic map. 3) Statistics The following statistics of your trip are available on the Statistics tab: - Distance (how far you have travelled) - Min/Max Altitude (the minimum and maximum altitude) - Time (the length of time that quality GPS data has been available) - Travelling Time (the length of time that you have been moving) - Average Speed - Maximum Speed These statistics can be cleared in the Settings tab by pressing Clear History. 4) Power Management Power management has been simplified while the functionality has been enhanced.
