GPS Camera 55, Speedometer 55, Compass 55 and Planimeter 55 - import and export improvements across all apps scheduled for July 2025.

 All of the apps will get an upgrade in July 2025 with the following import/export improvements:

◆ Batch Export of Collections: Export multiple point/photo collections at once as a single KMZ file.

◆ Batch Enable/Disable Collections: Easily enable or disable several point collections in one go.

→ To use: tap the new 'more' button (left of the '+' in the collections list), choose Select, pick collections, then choose an action from the bottom toolbar.

◉ The ability to enable or disable multiple collections at once helps you focus only on the points/photos relevant to your project. Multi-collection KMZ export is fully compatible with the Google Earth desktop app and can be used to back up all your collections and points if needed. 100% of the data is preserved when importing back into the app on another device.

◆ Enhanced KMZ Import: Now supports KMZ archives with multiple subfolders and multiple KML files.

→ Import via the 'more' button on the points/photos list or the 'Open In' system option on iPhone/iPad.

Apps supporting track recording will also get:

+ When exporting all tracks of a trip to a single KMZ file (for Google Earth), the app now uses the gx:Track format to preserve timestamp information for each track point. The previously used Geometry format was losing that valuable time data.

Compass 55, Speedometer 55 and Planimeter 55 are also getting drawing tools improvements from GPS Camera 55:

◆ New drawing tools for annotating photos taken by the camera tool and ground image overlays:

+ Arrow, Rectangle, Circle, Cross pointer.

+ You can also adjust the line width.

◆ Other Improvements for July 2025:

+ Added info message at the bottom of the points/photos list to indicate when collections are disabled and their items are hidden.

+ Various fixes and performance improvements.

GPS Camera 55. Public beta 4.6 is now available with new drawing tools: Arrow, Rectangle, Circle (Ellipse) + adjustable line width for the drawing!

 Before version 4.6, the photo editor tools included photo crop, resize, tilt, and freehand drawing on the photo. Starting from version 4.6, the complete list of drawing tools is:

• Freehand drawing
• Rectangle
• Circle (Ellipse)
• Arrow
• Cross pointer

Here is an example showing all tools used on one photo:

Final touches on Map collections before the public releases. Speedo 55, Compass 55 and Planimeter 55.

The documentation for Map Collections in the upcoming app versions is now ready in all supported languages!

We’re down to final optimizations—currently improving ground image overlays by adding thumbnail images for use in lists and preview screens.
For example, here’s a historical map of Tokyo from 1799:

The thumbnail is just 47KB, while the full ground overlay image is around 80MB:

Quite a difference!
