The new Range Ring HUD adds concentric distance circles that scale with zoom, making it easy to gauge how near or far map features are at a glance. Inspired by aviation and marine displays, it's optional and appears when Follow Puck Mode is enabled.

New temporal visibility settings let you keep archival GPS data without cluttering the map — filtering waypoints and tracks by age or hiding them entirely. Alongside haptics and audio feedback for route checkpoints, the week focused on refinements and performance fixes.

Active Routes track your progress using proximity-gated points, letting the app react as you move. Whether planning precisely or wandering freely, you can skip ahead or rewind with a tap — opening the door to flexible navigation and future trigger-based ideas.

Routes are one of the toughest challenges in GPS app design. With varied planning styles and expectations, Mapkind GPS is approaching routes deliberately — starting with solid, intuitive fundamentals and building toward something we genuinely enjoy using.

The active track log now renders at a controlled z-axis depth, preventing it from obscuring important map details. I also introduced an early version of distance markers — toggleable, pill-shaped indicators that show your progress directly along the active recording.
