From your comments we learned that you want us to offer more maps for free. OK, understood: now you get 4 free maps! You can use and recalibrate these maps as long as you want. But if you want to add a 5th map... well, you might have guessed: then it would be great if you would buy one of the available map-packages. We would really appreciate this! If you upgrade to this version, you will get 2 additional free maps.
Happy AnyMapping!

We also fixed some minor bugs, like usual.

### 1.1 — 2016-10-31

We added graphs that display the altitude and the speed along your tracked path, as well as the total distance that you walked. This is a fun feature that makes walking, hiking and city-exploring even more exciting.

Bug fixes and improvements:
- fixed a bug that could shuffle the thumbnail pictures of your maps
- made the introduction videos smaller
- reduced the amount of memory used by the app

This version now includes In-App Purchases.
