Text now follows your iPhone's text size setting, within limits that keep it readable in the car. Labels that used to get cut off near the bottom of the screen now fit. Arming far from the course no longer produces an impossible finish. When you arm far from the start, the run screen says how far away you are. The Leg Correction setting now works. Never Apply runs leg 2 with no correction, and Ask Every Time adds a switch to the leg transition screen, on by default. A START NOW pressed partway down a leg is marked as a mid-course start and is left out of the next leg's correction.
