This bug-fix release improves Speed Run reliability during background use.

Speed Run tracking now continues while the app is in the background.
Improved HUD behavior so Speed Run UI updates only when the app is active.
Fixed lifecycle handling to restore/hide the Speed Run HUD correctly when returning to the app, while keeping expensive map rendering paused in background.

This update makes recording much more resilient. Pending location writes now survive app restarts and recover cleanly after partial saves, recording setup is more reliable when launched from shortcuts or intents, and the app is better at restarting location services after temporary signal or network issues. Import flow reliability is also improved with safer CSV cleanup and better handling for iCloud Fog of World downloads. Under the hood, location prediction in the Kalman filter is smarter, heat map rendering is now deterministic, and new tests were added to cover queue persistence and motion filtering edge cases.

Bug fixes

Bug fixes

Improved GPS tracking reliability, especially at high speeds and after temporary signal loss. Also includes fixes for smoother recovery and more reliable background recording.

Improved plane tracking reliability.
Fixed intermittent map pan/zoom lockups.

Bug fix: Loops now works in the background

Bug fixes

NEW! Offline maps. They're very low-res, but you can zoom out and see where you are when you're on a flight or something.

Critical bug fix

Bug fixes

Improved GPS Accuracy
  • Smarter filtering now rejects GPS spikes and jumps that could create false coverage
  • Better handling of rapid location changes while maintaining accuracy

Faster Backups
  • Backups are now significantly faster, especially for large maps (like 10x faster!)
  • Lower memory usage during backup for smoother performance

Faster Location Processing
Significantly improved performance when processing large batches of locations. Whether you're importing a GPX file, syncing workouts from Apple Health, or catching up on backlogged tracking data after a flight, MapCred now handles it much faster.

Improved Background Reliability
Fixed an issue that could cause the app to be terminated while tracking in the background. MapCred now runs more efficiently when minimized, so your location tracking continues uninterrupted.

Heading direction indicator
See what direction you're facing on the user location marker, just like in Apple Maps.

Bug Fixes
- Fixed GPX import for tracks crossing the International Date Line
- Improved timestamp handling for GPX files
- General stability improvements

- Backup exports keep showing accurate progress even with huge maps.
- GPX/CSV restores accept much larger files (up to ~1 GB).

Import/Export Improvements - Bug fixes that improve reliability
Performance & Reliability - Behind-the-scenes improvements

Control MapCred hands-free with new Shortcuts! Now you can start, stop, or toggle location recording without even opening the app, via Shortcuts automations or Siri.

New shortcuts:
  • "Start recording in MapCred" - Begin tracking your adventures instantly
  • "Stop recording in MapCred" - Pause tracking when you're done
  • "Toggle recording in MapCred" - Quick on/off switch for recording

Perfect for cyclists, runners, and travelers who want to start tracking without fumbling with their phone. Just ask Siri or add these shortcuts to your Control Center for one-tap access.

Fixed: GPX import failed with permissions issue on some devices.

NEW! Import GPX files to transfer progress from other apps or fill in missing trips/flights.
NEW! See what % of the world you've uncovered.
IMPROVED! 10-15% more efficient location processing.
IMPROVED! Accessibility support for VoiceOver.

This update brings major performance improvements, a smoother experience, and a refreshed look—making MapCred better than ever.
