You can now define restricted areas on the map. Use these to prevent the route from passing certain roads or paths. To add a restricted or 'no-go' area press the no-go button on the route edit screen to enter no-go mode then press and hold on the map to define the location and the size of a circular area.

* Improvements to Cue Sheet screen. This can now be viewed whilst continuing to edit the route. The selected Cue Sheet instruction is highlighted on the map.

- Double tap the elevation chart to display a larger expanded version.

1.5
Sep 25, 2019
* We've added support for TCX files, both for importing and exporting. TCX files can include turn-by-turn instructions as well as a 'breadcrumb trail'. This is useful for GPS computers that do not automatically create turn-by-turn instructions while following a route. If you have a Wahoo cycle computer we recommend you try exporting routes as TCX to the Wahoo Elemnt Companion App in order to gain turn-by-turn instructions, Garmin users continue to use GPX.
* Fix for scrolling problems when using the search field on the route list screen
* Fix for a crash when importing invalid GPX files
* Fixed a few issues arising from the iOS 13 update.
