=================================

> New Features:

  • (ALL) New text to speech alerts for “SSS two minutes left”, “SSS half a minute left”, and for “1km to the next optimal point”.
  • (ACF) We have added in the Flight Book the option to send the track to “Earth 3D”, if Google Earth is installed it will show the flight, otherwise it will allow us to share the kml file.

  • (ACF) In the competition map, we can choose the color for the optimal lines (blue by default).
  • (ACF) In the competition map, we can choose the color for the ESS, when the next target is the ESS its cylinder and line to the optimal point will use this color (brown by default).
  • (ACF) In the competition map, we can choose the color for lines to the SSS and ESS (advantageous point, light blue by default).

> Improvements:

  • (ALL) IMPORTANT CHANGE: Whenever we save a task, whether it is new or edited, it will be set as the active task and is seted to first WayPoint.

  • (ALL) Now we can import waypoint and airspace files directly from the file explorer, or other applications (Telegram, Mail, Whastapp, etc…).

> Improvements:

  • (ALL) In the download maps and elevations manager, the download percentage will be shown.
