If you want to help keep it that way, Settings now has a one-time support key for the price of a coffee. It unlocks nothing — it just says thank you. • Restore purchases brings the key back on a new phone. ### 1.4.22 — 2026-10-14 Share your season, keep your rides. • Share the season as a picture: rides, kilometres, hours, longest ride, top speed, best month and kilometres per month, ready for the chat or the feed. • Back up your ride history to a file, and bring it back on a new phone — rides already there are kept, nothing is overwritten. • Small fixes now reach you between store releases, from the studio's own server. No account, no tracking, as always. ### 1.4.21 — 2026-10-08 Share your ride, see your season. • Share a saved ride as a picture: the route on the map with distance, time and speeds, ready for the chat or the feed. • The season summed up in your ride history: rides, kilometres, hours, longest ride, top speed, best month — and how this year compares with the last. • Your location arrives at once: the places tabs open on your last known position instead of waiting up to 15 seconds for a fresh one. ### 1.4.20 — 2026-10-07 Track gaps, told straight. • A ride that stood still — a train at the platform, a ferry crossing — was reported as a gap in the track. Not any more: only ground actually skipped counts, and a short gap at speed that swallowed a kilometre now counts too. Rides already saved keep their numbers. • The map opens with the route in the middle, and the thin lines between map tiles are gone. • A place without a name is shown by its type, in your language. ### 1.4.19 — 2026-09-30 Your saved ride now follows the road. • On long rides the saved track cut the bends: the app recorded your position every three seconds, but kept too few of the points where the road turns. It now keeps the bends — in the GPX file and on the map, which shows more detail the closer you zoom. Rides already saved stay as they are. Thanks to the rider who sent his files. • Swipe the app away mid-ride and the ride is still running when you open it again. • Clubs & Tracks: a track with no name is now shown by its type, in your language. ## Apps similar to Vegvísir | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [ClubRoute](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/clubroute/id6777780825) | — | Free | Navigation | | [Ladr](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ladr/id6762304303) | — | Free | Navigation | | [WunderLINQ](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/wunderlinq/id1410462734) | 3.9 (8) | Free | Navigation | | [Tourstart](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/tourstart/id586049610) | 2.3 (17) | Free | Navigation | ## More apps by Leander Hilmarsson - [Kvitro: AI Receipt Scanner](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/kvitro-ai-receipt-scanner/id6819166916) All apps by Leander Hilmarsson: https://appshunter.io/developer/6807496934 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
