Updates

May 2026 — Public Launch

RouteMapper is live at app.routemapper.net. Free tier plus four paid tiers, billing wired through Stripe with Australian GST applied automatically. Beta program closed; existing beta testers transitioned smoothly to the Free tier.

Roadbook accuracy — manual waypoint angles now computed from the GPS track at the waypoint position; direction follows the spoken icon (sign-flip for mismatches); shallow-angle waypoints snap to the nearest matching turn within 400 m. Generated roadbooks now correlate cleanly with Rally Navigator imports.

GPS format — fixed a long-standing bug where decimal-minute coordinates rendered with a stray decimal point (35°02.3.129'S). Now matches Rally Navigator's display format (35°02.052'S).

Hands-free voice — fixed a race condition where the snap countdown could fire mid-command and replace a real instruction with a generic note. Speaking now pauses the countdown until the command is complete.

iPad polish — pending sync status auto-clears via visibilitychange + 30 s retry. Map renders the correct visible region from first paint via ResizeObserver — no more Hide/Show workaround.

Account profile — new Account modal in the top-bar lets users edit full name, username, and phone (E.164 with country selector). Used as the billing name on Stripe and the crew line on generated roadbook PDFs.

Current

March 2026

Two-row control layout — glove-friendly portrait and landscape controls restructured into two rows for faster access in the field.

OpenRally GPX export — all GPX waypoint exports now include the OpenRally <type> field for full standard compliance.

iOS GPS fix — resolved continuous GPS watch position on iOS devices; location updates now fire reliably throughout a recording session.

Offline sync improvements — pending stage queue now correctly serialises payloads and retries sync when connectivity returns.

Turn detection tuning — refined jitter filter (6 m baseline) and waypoint merger logic; manually placed waypoints now correctly override track-detected classifications.
