Read the surface, preview the route, share the whole story

This release is about knowing exactly what's under your wheels. Surface and road detail now runs through the entire app - richer per-section breakdowns, a simpler Trip Builder panel, an elevation and surface profile while you edit, and a rebuilt trip share page that carries the same detail with directional arrows, elevation and slope coloring, and start and finish markers. Building got sharper too, with a real-time routing preview that shows the road you're about to commit to, fuel range planning for the long empty stretches, and a Map Legend reorganized around Roads, POI, Nature, Labels and Other.

Changes

• Surface and road detail, everywhere
  • Per-section surface detail expanded - paved share, roads and trails, regions, notable features and elevation range for every section
  • The Trip Builder surface panel is simplified to Surface, with the paved and unpaved split shown up front
  • See generalized surface data (paved vs unpaved) at a glance from the surface and road breakdown toggle
  • The unpaved overlay was resized and recolored for reliable contrast against any track color
  • A new elevation and surface profile appears while you edit a section, synced to the map as you move along the line
  • Trip Builder surface data now respects the visible, dimmed or hidden state of its parent section
• A richer trip share page
  • Shared trips now carry surface data and the unpaved overlay
  • Directional arrows can be switched on straight from the map
  • Route coloring by elevation or slope, with an on-map color scale and quick preset switching
  • Start and finish markers, with a separate pair for each leg when a trip's sections don't connect
• Real-time routing preview
  • The line to your next point now follows real roads as you move, so the point you place commits exactly what you were shown
  • Improved routing resolution for results that match the preview more reliably
  • Prefer click-then-route? Switch the preview off in Map Settings
• Fuel range planning
  • Set your tank range and reserve and see them drawn as fixed real-world rings, anchored on your last fuel stop
  • The inner ring marks where you should start looking for fuel, and any stretch beyond your range is flagged on the route
• Elevation and slope color
  • Gradient choices now come in two flavors - switching between elevation and slope shows the right colors for each
  • Improved Accessible preset, readable with any form of color vision
  • New Terrain preset with atlas-style height tints
  • Note: a custom gradient applies to both elevation and slope
  • Steepest ascent and descent are now measured over a fixed ground distance, so slope figures reflect the terrain rather than how densely a track was recorded, and slope calculations are more accurate overall
• Map Legend
  • The legend is reorganized into Roads, POI, Nature, Labels and Other
  • A dedicated Points of Interest section for filtering and emphasizing the places on your map
  • Star anything in the legend to give it preferential treatment on the map
  • Road Status - construction, temporarily closed, and disused or abandoned roads
  • Labels > Places now includes continents, counties and districts, and localities
• Account
  • Change your account email from your account settings, with a verification step before the switch takes effect
• Quality of life
  • Improved insert track point interactions, with a readout at the snap point
  • Improved avoidance zone building and interaction
  • Improved waypoint editor interactions
  • Folder View gains Routes, Tracks and Waypoints columns, plus preview pane improvements
  • Air quality data formatting and presentation improvements
  • A general legibility refinement pass across the app

Fixes

• General Items
  • Tablet users were unable to reliably drag to sort sections and waypoints
  • Power Infrastructure is now Power Lines. Going forward, power facilities and infrastructure areas will always be rendered on the map, while power lines themselves are hidden when unchecked.
  • Restored mountain saddles and peaks to the map
  • Map attribution is collapsed by default again
  • Fixed the "Connected to" interface overlap
  • Improved DMD Hub location icon sizing
