Trailguide changelog

Bjørn Jarle Kvande

There are literally 100s of changes and commits to the codebase every week. Some are bug fixes, some are tweaks to the user interface, some are new features, some are code quality changes, some are test code. A lot more than you will find interresting to know about, but I will try to keep a track of new features and significant changes of the app that might affect you as a user here.

23. january 2024

UX: Expanded the search results so it will return natural features and points of interest such as mountains, lakes, and other named locations in addition to places.

1. december 2023

Feature: Added a separate winter trail biking category so you can discover prepped trails on snow and take your mountain bike for a spin during the winter. If you have your own prepped snow trails, we invite you to add them to Trailguide.

Feature/UX: When you click on the "Nearby" tab for an activity that page has also been improved with added support for searching, filtering, and sorting. The nearby activities are now sorted by the closest first.

Feature: Added support to log in using your google account
Feature: Added support to use .fit garmin files to add new trails

8. july 2023

Feature: Added support to remove your own condition reports if you need to do this.

7. june 2023

6. june 2023

UX: Combined the show list/map buttons into one so you now toggle between the list view and map view when clicking the button. This made space for the transparency button in the middle of the navigation bar so it is immediately available and easier to use.

21. may 2023

Feature: Added support for detailed Strava heatmap beyond zoom level 12. This really enables you to find and navigate trails in any area of the world.

Political: Removed the russian translation from the app and replaced it with Ukranian.

13. april 2023

12. april 2023

Feature: Added breadcrumbs where you moved when you are in navigation mode. This will make it easier to understand which way to turn when you reach a fork on the trail.

11. april 2023

Feature: Added a visible heading indicator to the location indicator in navigation mode.
UX: Added the possibility to zoom using one finger. The gesture tap-tap-drag will now zoom the map in or out. The feature needs to be enabled in the settings dialog.

UX: The main menu and settings dialog is now combined and is accessed from the avatar icon.
