• Weather for detectorists — live conditions and a 7-day outlook for exactly where you're standing, right at the top of the layer panel. Tap any day for wind, rain chance and a quick "worth getting out?" read. • Drop a pin — long-press anywhere on the map for coordinates you can copy or share, distance from your location, the weather out there, and a one-tap Add Waypoint. • 3D terrain revamp — flip the new 3D toggle and the map tilts into view automatically. Drag with two fingers to change the angle. • Waypoints, levelled up — 16 colours with a new colour picker, icons and labels that scale as you zoom, creation dates in the popup, and tighter add/edit sheets that stay above the keyboard (much nicer on iPad too). • Import everything — KML, GPX, TCX, GeoJSON and CSV all supported. Trails, waypoints and areas each land in the right place automatically, including Trilobite exports and GPS tracks recorded with pauses. • Trail recordings now show how long you were out. • Offline downloads are sturdier — failed areas retry and the rest keep going. • Crash fixes across the board for a smoother day's detecting. Happy hunting!
