NOTE:
Please note the following if you have enabled automatic logging in the background (indicated by the blue frame in the app):
Continued use of GPS in the background can drastically reduce battery life. In our experience, however, a full day of sailing can be done with it, nevertheless don't forget the 12V charging cable ;-)

What's new (v2.85)
New:
- Wind arrows now step up in 5-knot increments instead of Beaufort scales.
- When you make several quick manoeuvres, a confirmation button appears at the top so you do not need to scroll.
Fixed:
- If the location field was empty, the app now shows light text in Dark Mode.
- You can no longer enter more than one decimal point when logging engine hours.
- In the PDF, text in the last column no longer shifts when you set a long label to wrap over two lines.
- Stability improvements in the NMEA overview.
- An incorrect value for GPS accuracy via NMEA in the data sources is fixed.
- The first water and fuel tanks are no longer pre-filled in the first logbook entry if they do not exist.
- A sync error that distorted temperatures near 0 °C is fixed. 0.2°C might show as 20°C, and -0.1°C might show as -10°C.
- Icons in the icon order now show even when the logbook is empty.
