What's New in VanOverlander Dispersed Camp
1.44.1 (126)
July 19, 2026
1.44.1 (126) This update is all fixes and polish: • "Detect visited places" now works properly. If you have it switched on in Settings, the app reliably logs spots where you stay 10+ minutes, so they show up as suggestions you can confirm or remove. • Smoother map. Panning, switching base maps and toggling overlays are noticeably less janky. • Better battery life. The animated weather radar no longer keeps running while the app is in the background. • Full-screen photos now resize correctly when you rotate your device.
