Summary
AI summaryNative MapLibre GL maps replace the WebView map engine.
Full changelog
Colota v1.1.0 replaces the map engine with native MapLibre GL, adds automatic tracking profiles and ships a new app icon along with many bug fixes and performance improvements.
New Features
- Native MapLibre GL maps - Maps now render natively instead of through a WebView for smoother panning, faster tile loading, and lower memory usage
- Tracking Profiles - Automatically adjust GPS interval, distance filter, and sync settings based on charging, Android Auto, or speed thresholds
- Speed-colored tracks - Track lines are colored by speed to visually distinguish driving, cycling, and walking. Tap any point for timestamp, speed, and accuracy details
- Daily distance traveled - Location Inspector now shows total distance covered per day
- Deep link setup - Configure server connection via
colota://setup?...links - New app icon
