dependencies, including our underlying maps display.
Release 3.11
Features
- If there are queued voice instructions, these are replaced with the latest instruction.

Release 3.10
Features:
- Tap on the screen to add more waypoints to a planned route.
- New long-press option on route to Add / Remove waypoints.
- Tap on a waypoint to remove it or change its sequence.
- Intermediate waymarks are now numbered.
- LiveRide replans are no longer saved.

Bug fixes:
Release 3.9.1
Bug fixes:
- Fix an issue with downloading map tiles.
Release 3.9
Features:
- LiveRide now shows remaining distance and optionally remaining time and/or ETA.
- POI URLs (e.g. bike shop websites) now appear as clickable links.
- Find a Place now puts a marker on the screen instead of just centering the map.
- Compatibility updates for Android 10 & 11 - especially regarding LiveRide voice nav in background.
Bug fixes:
Please note that the Offline Vector maps support (using the separate "Cyclestreets UK Map Pack" app bundle) has been broken by Android platform changes. We aim to restore this functionality in a subsequent release.
Release 3.8.1
Bug fixes:
- Updated graphics for newly available POI types.
Release 3.8

Features:

- Waypoints shown during LiveRide.
- Dates included on photo display dialog.
- Active segment now highlighted on the elevation graph.
- Modernisation of some icons, using vector graphics for better resolution and smaller install size.

- Target streets are now described as part of instructions - e.g. "Get ready to turn right" becomes "Get ready to turn right onto [street name]".
- Revised Back button behaviour.
Bug fixes:
- LiveRide no longer restarts on wake, so the annoying torrent of instructions is gone.
- Waypoint icons in Android 10 no longer appear ridiculously small and in the wrong place.
- Extra start waypoint added when replanning the journey does not persist, so multiple replans are dealt with more logically.
- A number of crash scenarios fixed.
- LiveRide now makes itself a foreground service, which fixes some scenarios where it previously wouldn't work (e.g. low available memory)
- You can no longer scroll past the North Pole to Antarctica, and back again.
Release 3.6
