What's New in DBHamPlot
2.0
July 24, 2017
This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. Updated for latest iOS. Resolved issue with using location services. Added a Geodesic line between grids. I swapped the control and display on the top. I guess it favors right-handed people but, I'm one of them. Also, the source button is green in color and that matches the annotation pin color for the source. The target button and annotation pin are red. Any touch-generated grids have an annotation pin colored blue.
