Original release notes

New:

Weather tool: Worldwide forecasts for your current position or any place you search — wind and gusts, waves, temperature, pressure, cloud cover and humidity. Interactive chart with 24-hour, 3-day and 7-day views; tap anywhere on it to read the exact values at that moment. Includes a 7-day outlook, your choice of forecast model (ECMWF, GFS, ICON, Météo-France and more), and pull-to-refresh.

Improved:

COG is now calculated from your actual track instead of the raw GPS course. Phone GPS often freezes or drops its course reading at low speed — typically right after a tack — which could display a badly wrong heading. In on-the-water testing with two phones recording simultaneously, gross errors fell from over a third of readings to virtually none. VMG and the Apple Watch display benefit from the same fix.

Also improved

Logbook entries: field labels stay visible while you type, position is shown in nautical degrees/minutes/seconds, and values are easier to read.

Tools are now listed alphabetically.

Daily trip statistics show the weekday (Mon, Tue, …).
