Original release notes

Calmer map, InReach messages and lower battery use

• Calmer map. Fewer overlapping pilots, and smaller icons for landed and hiking pilots.
• InReach messages. Texts from your InReach reach your group and ground contacts, and can set your status.
• Thermal assist. Clearer colours on every map style.
• Lower battery use. A lighter battery saver map and less work in the background while you fly.
• Add flight. Upload both multiple IGC files and manual entries if you did not track.
• VHF radio. Your saved radio connects by itself when you switch it on.
• Comms. Voice off keeps you in your group, and your group is kept across restarts.
• Plus a pile of minor bug fixes.
