## What's new

The installed walking app keeps an active route available when a phone returns to it, including without a connection. The pointer also faces forward when the map turns with the direction of travel.

## At a glance

- Resume a walk with its route, progress and map view intact.
- Open saved routes and map tiles without waiting for a network response.
- Keep the pointer facing ahead in direction-of-travel mode.
