Version 4.2 of ViewRanger was released in November 2013.
Map and purchase related:
- Support for map subscriptions.
- Improved "Create saved map" - counts errors and retries tiles that failed first time.
- If viewing premium maps and then choosing (Menu > Organizer > Maps > Online maps > OpenStreetMap), 'Create saved map' no longer puts the app into tile download mode (bug fix).
Tracks & GPS:
- Statistics in the stopwatch(es) on the map now appear when the GPS is running, not just when a track is recording.
- Statistics in the stopwatch(es) appear even if tracks are started with auto-record (bug fix).
- Tracks are no longer hidden when they are stopped. They are hidden when the next track is started.
Navigation:
- The navigation arrow over the map could be slow to update (bug fix).
- If the triggered alarm is a linked audio file (rather than a sound in settings), the app now shows the sound play controls (bug fix).
- If you use nav arrow > Silence alarm, the menu no longer stays on screen (bug fix).
- ETE final time and next time in the trip view were incorrect (bug fix).
- If you chose a different alarm sound in settings, the wrong one was played (bug fix)
Action Bar & Map View:
- When a route is selected, the action bar now includes access to its Properties (for changing name and so on, consistent with POIs, tracks etc)
- "Route from track" when accessed from the action bar now works (bug fix).
- Improved performance of on-map altitude display when using Mercator based maps (e.g. Canary Islands)
