v1.2.1 TestFlight build 154
External beta. Largest single release after 1.2.0 — navigation, route tools, map customization, and a long fixes list.
Route-aware traffic alerts
- Plan a long trip and incidents anywhere along the route surface immediately — a construction in Kingston appears the moment you set Ottawa→Toronto, instead of waiting until you're 50 km from it
- Incidents sort by distance ahead along your route: the next obstacle on your way comes first
- Accidents more than 150 km ahead are hidden — typical clearance (45–60 min) is shorter than the ≈90 min you'd need to reach them, so they're almost always gone by the time you arrive. Construction, closures, hazards, and alerts stay visible regardless because those don't self-clear
Past Trips & voice guidance
- Past Trips archive — every recording you finish is preserved and browseable from Map Tools → Past Trips
- Capture-mode picker on Start: choose "Cloud + local" (fleet-tracking) or "Local only" (trekking, walks — saved on device, nothing uploaded)
- Auto-stop after stationary (Off / 1 h / 2 h / 4 h) catches the forgot-to-stop case; trip is preserved in Past Trips with a summary banner showing distance, duration, and a driving score
- Tiered MQTT backoff while stationary saves battery — drops to 60 s for the first 5 min, then 5 / 15 / 30 min thereafter
- Voice picker — choose any iOS system voice in Settings → Voice. Tap to audition a locale-aware sample before committing. Persistent mute switch + a Map Tools "Voice" tile
- Faster CarPlay audio release — music resumes ~300 ms after each spoken instruction (was ~1 s)
Navigation
- "Go here" preview shows driving distance, heading needle (cardinal), and ETA before you commit
- Picking a destination centers the map and drops a deep-purple pin; map stays interactive while the action sheet is open (no blink-back to your GPS)
- Top route banner shows remaining distance to destination; optional speed-limit ETA stacks alongside traffic ETA when they differ
- Search bar opens with saved Places (Home / Work / favorites / recent searches); long-press to save / set / remove. Swipe left on a Recent entry to reveal Copy and Delete buttons
- Lane guidance + exit numbers in the turn banner (Mapbox routes)
- Search results bias toward your area — typing "downtown" no longer floods the list with far-away matches
Elevation & route tools
- Tap a traced route to view an elevation profile with heading, cursor-based ETA, and the actual routed distance (no more mismatch with the Directions sheet)
- Scrubbing the elevation profile rotates an on-map navigation arrow to show the local heading at the cursor
- Map stays interactive (zoom / pan) while the elevation profile sheet is open
- Save active dispatch routes to device for later recall via the Saved Routes sheet in Map Tools
- Trip summary screen at the end of a road-mapping session — distance, duration, avg / max speed, max grade, climb, events captured
Map & customization
- Apple Maps photoreal Flyover — 3D buildings + terrain via
MKMapConfiguration.elevationStyle(iOS 16+); Standard / Satellite / Hybrid picker with separate Flyover toggle - Auto theme — switch to dark at sunset, light at sunrise (Settings → Appearance → Daylight). Pure-Dart sunrise/sunset, no external API
- Adjustable road-map color thresholds (Settings → Road Map Colors) — Grade max ±% and Roughness max RMS sliders so urban data isn't all-green
- International traffic feeds: AU NSW (with API key), TfL London, Australia VIC, NZ NZTA, Finland Fintraffic, Norway Statens vegvesen, Netherlands NDW, UK National Highways. DATEX II XML parser shared across European feeds
- Coordinate search (decimal, hemisphere, DMS); compass with live heading needle (top-left); flashing speed-limit alert with configurable threshold
- In-app developer console captures all logs; share as file via AirDrop / Files
- Per-feed circuit breaker — broken upstreams skip the polling budget; Settings dialogs include step-by-step instructions + portal links for API keys
Fixes
- Apple Maps 3D — your zoom level is preserved when you tilt the device (was snapping back to a fixed value)
- Hybrid map style no longer flashes satellite then reverts to standard
- Multi-stop optimizer respects your input order even when stops share coordinates
- Battery low → tap-to-Eco banner actually switches the sampling preset
- Polish: dragged turn banner overflow, route bar layout, console share, elevation distance fallback, search → action menu UX
Known issue
Photoreal Flyover only renders in Apple's covered cities. Most of Canada is not yet covered — try Hybrid + Flyover on over a covered city (NYC, SF, LA, London, Tokyo, Paris) to see the full effect.
