    Modern Celestial Navigation

    Update Log

    Version 3 of Celestial Nav brings a NEW Noon Sight feature to calculate latitude and longitude.
    The PRO version has advanced noon sight methods such as plotting a noon curve with multiple sights to determine the most accurate zenith of the sun and improve overall accuracy.
    Tooltips and help features continue to be expanded. Various titles and labels display definitions and further guidance when tapped.
    Bug fixes:
    - improved Upgrade experience
    - fix crash caused by multiple fast tabs on the same menu

    Update Log

    This release brings some behind the scenes performance upgrades.
    Version 3 of Celestial Nav brings a NEW Noon Sight feature to calculate latitude and longitude.
    The PRO version has advanced noon sight methods such as plotting a noon curve with multiple sights to determine the most accurate zenith of the sun and improve overall accuracy.
    Tooltips and help features continue to be expanded. Various titles and labels display definitions and further guidance when tapped.
    New:
    - Noon Sight
    - Mean Noon Sight: Use two readings at equal height before and after zenith (PRO Only)
    - Noon Curve: Polynomial regression for multiple sun readings to calculate more accurate zenith time and position (PRO Only)

    Bugfixes:
    - bug fix to resolve startup crash in Dark Mode for certain devices
    - major bug fix to resolve crash on iPad when an alert should be presented

    Modern Celestial Navigation

    Update Log

    We made some behind the scene performance updates and fixed layout issues.
    Based on valuable user feedback improvements were made to the Map Display for saved LOPs (PRO Feature). Markers can now display the AP and plotting lines for each LOP. When tapped, additional details are shown directly on the map.
    In addition, a tooltip feature has been launched so various titles and labels display a definition and further guidance when tapped.
    New:
    - MAP annotations to show LOP details when tapped
    - Unknown body identification
    - Tooltips

    Bugfix:
    - fixed centering of the map based on first shown LOP
