I’m happy to announce that Gaia GPS 2.0 went live in the App Store today. V2.0 is a tremendous improvement on the last version, with a bunch of new features and bug fixes. Here’s what’s new in 2.0:
New Features
- pause/resume, last track remembered at start-up, resume any old track
- guide to waypoint and guide along track
- use Decimal, DMS, and UTM coordinates, and type in coordinates to make waypoints
- app continues recording while the iPhone is suspended
- map: includes a scale, can be displayed full-screen, and added OpenCycle map tiles
- photos can be exported at full-resolution, include EXIF geo-tags, and have thumbnails in the photo table
- consolidated all Saved stuff (bookmarks, maps, waypoints, tracks, and photos) on Saved Screen
- consolidated settings
- more settings are remembered (lock contrast, waypoints, labels)
- added Help section
- “me-marker” is now an arrow that shows your bearing (or heading on 3GS phones)
- distance markers and distance chimes (turn on via Settings)
- zoom in Map keyhole on front screen
- added clear buttons to search boxes
Bug Fixes/Improvements
- much faster and more stable on 3G phones
- fixed various UI inconsistencies reported by users
