Just a few minor bug fixes and enhancements. I must remember you that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life even if in my test cases background recording shows a power consumption less than 20% compared to foreground recording due to lack of GUI updating. ### 1.12 — 2015-07-20 More features & less power consumption. I must remember you that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life even if in my test cases background recording shows a power consumption less than 20% compared to foreground recording due to lack of GUI updating. ### 1.10 — 2015-01-06 Just some hotfixes and minor improvements. ### 1.9 — 2014-12-01 - Now targetting iOS8. - Performance and power consumption optimization. - Cockpit now shows E.T.A. and target average speed when running a Roadbook. - Roadbook editor now shows Turning Points. - Removed Camera F.O.V. setting: now it takes it from active Camera AVCaptureDeviceFormat. - Minor bug fixes. Always remember that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. ### 1.8 — 2014-09-25 - Background Recording Now the App may continue to recording even when in background. Keep in mind power consumption, continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. - Added configurable measurement unit for distance and speed. Now you can choose among Kilometers, Miles and Nautical Miles. - Enhanced User Experience in Navigator view. Now the Roadbook overlay has a dark shadow to increase readability on Standard view (both Flat and 3D). Now the Standard 3D view will always follow the Roadbook at the minimum possible altitude. Now you can set a Waypoint in a Roadbook with a "Long Press" Gesture. - Added "Bookmark" function in Places Tab. Now you can save locally your preferred places. - Improved Performance in Roadbook saving. The first time you save a route, the App need to optimize it: discarding non-significant trackpoints, smoothing altitude readings, finding turning points and some other housekeeping. This version improves this process by over 300%. - Reduced Power Consumption. - Other minor bug fixes and improvements. ## Apps similar to iRoadbook | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Rally Blitz Navigator Pro](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/rally-blitz-navigator-pro/id1195455638) | 4.8 (5) | Free | Navigation | | [Rally Roadbook Reader](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/rally-roadbook-reader/id1440988194) | 4.4 (5) | Free | Navigation | | [RallyBlitz Nav](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/rallyblitz-nav/id735777925) | 5.0 (3) | $19.99 | Navigation | | [TeamTrack +](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/teamtrack/id1215726236) | — | Free | Navigation | | [SpeedPilot Classic](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/speedpilot-classic/id1660375926) | — | Free | Navigation | | [3pRally - TSD Rally](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/3prally/id1010871673) | — | Free | Navigation | ## Related topics [iroadbook](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/iroadbook) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
