Optimisations and enhancements to the core Soundscape experience. Additionally, we are introducing the Recreational Activities feature designed to allow the offline creation and import of routes which can then be shared with a Soundscape Community user, and which provide more information and details of the environment and surroundings. This was developed in close collaboration with Mobility Instructors to support them in the teaching and development of orientation and mobility skills for the range of different people they work with, including those who are blind or have low-vision, or developing navigation and wayfinding capabilities for everyone.

In this update, you can share Markers and Routes between different devices. We have also updated the feedback email and look forward to receiving feedback.
