Bare-earth LiDAR over Victoria's goldfields, the Palmerville campground integrated into the app, and a Western Australian permit builder that fills in your Form 1A. NEW - Bare-earth LiDAR over Victoria's surveyed goldfields. Trees are stripped away, so old workings, races and puddling pits stand out. A separate add-on on top of Pro. - A free layer shows where Victoria's LiDAR actually reaches. Coverage is incomplete, including in the Golden Triangle. - The Palmerville campground is integrated: a Camp tab appears while you are on the station, carrying the operator's own notice board of closures, claims and track conditions. - Offline LiDAR detail is chosen by looking at it: a sample picture per level, each saying in words what it costs. - Set offline LiDAR depth per region, or follow one choice for the whole device. - A section 40E permit builder for Western Australia. Draw your permit area and export a filled Form 1A to lodge yourself (Pro). - Western Australia's graticular blocks draw from zoom 10, labelled by block (Pro). - Victoria gains real geological depth: 5,000+ statewide faults, dykes, chert horizons and 388 shallow workings (Pro). - Coordinates can be read in UTM. - A High-Vis palette gives the curated layers stronger colours, and the picker shows what each palette changes before you pick it. - A new setting keeps the screen awake while the phone is charging. - The floating compass appears whenever the map is rotated. - The Minelab GPX 4000 series is in the detector list. IMPROVED - Relief is one zoom sharper across New South Wales, Queensland and Tasmania, and Tasmania is now island-wide. - An offline area is priced and downloaded only where survey actually exists. - Adding a layer downloads its offline regions in the background. - Geochemistry is cleaner in every state: one gold-assayed point per site, and the sample medium drives the marker shape (Pro). - The idle map no longer wakes on every GPS fix, and stops refetching your tracks each time you open it. - A tap that falls through a layer's zoom floor now offers to zoom in. - Tenement halos follow the year filter, and a lease expiring within four weeks draws dashed (Pro). - A streamed layer names its real download size instead of a dash. - The offline region preview has a Close that keeps you on the map. FIXED - An iCloud restore can no longer wait forever behind a frozen bar. - A backup is pushed when a recording stops. - Relief no longer asks for ground it has no survey for, or vanishes while you pan. - A bundle you have just bought is no longer offered again. - A Library or tutorial link now clears whatever is open and lands in view. It used to resolve underneath a sheet, where you found it later.
