Original release notes

Version 1.2.1 is a major update built around full turn-by-turn navigation, with CarPlay improvements, smarter traffic alerts, and a long list of refinements.

TURN-BY-TURN NAVIGATION
- Full turn-by-turn navigation with spoken voice guidance.
- A Go Here preview shows driving distance, heading, and ETA before you commit to a route.
- Search with saved Places — Home, Work, favorites, and recent searches — and results now favor your area.
- Lane guidance and exit numbers in the turn banner.
- A live turn banner with remaining distance and ETA that updates as you drive, plus a lock-screen banner and an in-app heads-up about 15 seconds before each maneuver.
- Step tracking reworked for reliability through wide intersections, off-ramps, missed turns, red lights, and stop-and-go traffic.
- Choose any iOS system voice and audition it before selecting.

CARPLAY
- An upcoming-maneuver NEXT row on the CarPlay screen.
- A scrollable Report incident list with Cancel always reachable — and the list now stays on screen reliably.
- Distance to the next step stays accurate through wide intersections and off-ramps.
- Music resumes faster after each spoken instruction.

SMARTER TRAFFIC ALERTS
- Incidents anywhere along a planned route surface immediately, sorted by distance ahead.
- Distant accidents are hidden because they usually clear before you arrive; construction, closures, and hazards are always shown.

ACCURATE SPEED LIMITS
- The speed-limit badge uses your heading to pick the correct road, so it stays accurate on overpasses, at intersections, and on roads running parallel to a highway.
- A flashing speed-limit alert with a threshold you can set.

TRIPS AND RECORDING
- A Past Trips archive keeps every recording you finish, browseable any time.
- Choose Cloud plus local or Local only when you start a recording.
- Auto-stop after the vehicle has been stationary, with Off, 1, 2, and 4 hour options.
- An end-of-trip summary with distance, duration, speeds, climb, and a driving score.

MAPS AND CUSTOMIZATION
- Apple Maps photoreal Flyover with 3D buildings and terrain on iOS 16 and later.
- An automatic dark and light theme that follows sunset and sunrise.
- Adjustable road-map color thresholds, elevation profiles for traced routes, and saved routes.
- Many new international traffic feeds covering the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Finland, Norway, the Netherlands, and more.
