What's New in ApexGPS Hiking
1.10
October 22, 2026
Reliability and polish • Follow-me: "Show on Map" from the Tracks, Waypoints or Maps lists now just frees the camera, so a recording or route guidance carries on. The screen stays awake while follow-me is on. • Recording: more robust start, pause, resume and finish, with cleaner distance, time and elevation on saved tracks. The live trail is a little thicker. • Elevation: the barometer now calibrates from several checked GPS readings instead of the first one, so a single bad reading at the start can no longer shift the elevation of a whole recording. • Map: waypoint clusters now show the colour of most of their waypoints with a white ring, and tapping one zooms in on it. Track taps pick the right track when lines overlap. • Elevation chart: put a second finger down while scrubbing to switch to zooming. • Tracks and waypoints: safer delete, clearer export errors, and a waypoint can no longer be saved with an invalid elevation. • Settings: the map tile cache size now takes effect, Clear cache asks first and keeps your saved offline maps, and switching Light/Dark/System keeps the map as it was. • Translations: more of the Tracks and Waypoints screens are translated, with correct singular and plural forms. • Many smaller fixes across GPX import, weather and shared-location links.
