Phone app now has new option to share current location (e.g. via email, SMS).
Wear app is able to save the locations locally so it can load them if the phone is unavailable.
Whether to keep screen on can now be controlled from the menu on the wearable. Note that change to this setting are applied the next time a map/bearing is started, unfortunately it is not possible to have it affect whatever screen is presently being shown. However, the setting will be persisted the next time the wearable app is restarted and remains until changed back again using the menu. The wearable setting is persisted independently of the equivalent setting on the phone app.
When bearing distance is updated, now displays an up or down arrow indicating whether the distance increased or decreased since the last location.
Minor UI fixes
Saving a new location is now done by clicking the floating plus icon on the main page, rather than the world icon on the action bar which is removed.
Fixed bug entering location manually
Updated to SDK 26 (at Google's request)
Set min version to Android 4.0.1 so it will work on older devices.
Fixed warning message about wearable not being connected
This app can be used to save a particular GPS location and help you return to it later. For example, if you park your car somewhere you haven't been before and then set off on a long walk, you can take a GPS reading of your location before you set off so that you can easily locate your car after your walk. The app is particularly useful when in remote locations with poor data connections as it can display a simple bearing arrow indicating the direction and distance to the location which only requires a GPS & compass reading.
Includes a companion wear app that can display the map and/or bearing on your watch.
