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
  • sounds no longer turn off iPod
  • photos are no longer stretched on detail page
