New tactical design Brand-new dark, "tactical HUD" visual style throughout the app, with a topographic background image and a genuine "liquid glass" look for panels and the navigation bar. Redesigned bottom navigation bar with a smooth crossfade transition between tabs. Map tab overhaul Sun & moon phase widget, a live compass box, and larger, glowing neon-blue quick-action buttons (Weather, Device Comms, Light) now live directly on the map. Bigger, neon-blue map controls (style picker, measuring tool, multi-point marking, screenshot). Native recenter/3D buttons repositioned so nothing overlaps. Sensors, reimagined Sensors are now swipeable cards right on the Dashboard instead of a separate tab. New GPS-based Steepness sensor (trail incline %) and a new EMF meter (magnetic field strength, using the phone's built-in compass sensor). Removed the light and sound sensors, which were the most crash-prone features. Compass Bigger, more detailed full-screen compass: accuracy, altitude, coordinates, MGRS, and distance/bearing to your last saved point. Fixed a bug where the full-screen compass couldn't be closed. Other improvements "More" tab renamed to "Explorer". New "Device Comms" naming for peer-to-peer communication. One-tap "plain black background" mode for a simpler, battery-friendly look. Numerous stability fixes, including full removal of a crash-prone motion sensor framework.
