We're excited to announce a new feature in Guru Maps for iOS starting with version 5.6.0 - the ability to change the map’s tilt.

When following directions, a tilted map perspective can be more intuitive than the traditional overhead view. This perspective simulates what a traveler sees when looking at the road ahead, making navigation more user-friendly and realistic.

We're thrilled to announce the new real-time weather map layer that shows the Precipitation Intensity within the Guru Maps app. Whether you're hiking through the mountains, cycling across town, or motorcycling down scenic routes, staying informed about precipitation intensity can significantly impact your safety, visibility, and overall experience.

Why Precipitation Intensity Matters

Weather conditions are a critical factor to consider when planning any outdoor route. Understanding the instantaneous precipitation rate at ground level can help you make informed decisions about whether to start your journey or when to take breaks.

Understanding GPS Filtering

While recording a track, the app continuously retrieves data from your device's GPS module, updating the current position on the map in real time — typically every second to produce highly detailed tracks of your activities. The challenge is that sometimes (especially when accuracy is low) the values vary significantly, causing the current position to “jump” between distant points on the map.

The latest mobile phones are highly accurate and can locate your device with a precision of up to three meters, but environmental factors and device settings can still significantly affect accuracy.

With the GPS filtering feature, Guru Maps users can rely on more accurate and dependable recorded tracks for activities like hiking, cycling, or off-road adventures where precision matters.
