Ask Juliet Anything About Your File

July 18, 2026

Latest

🧮 She can compute now — not just use tools

Novel questions, real answers: Juliet can now run calculations directly against your file's full geometry — "which marker is furthest off the course?", "how far apart are my fuel stops measured along the route?", "which 3 markers are closest to the midpoint of leg 2?" No more "there's no tool for that." Analysis runs in a locked-down sandbox that is strictly read-only: it can never alter your file.
Compute, then place: when a computed answer belongs on the map, she places the results through the same validated marker pipeline as always — real coordinates, catalog icons, honest counts, one Undo away.
Discipline enforced, not hoped for: every release now runs an automated routing check that verifies Juliet still reaches for the right purpose-built tool first — the fast, guaranteed engines stay her default; the sandbox is reserved for the questions nobody predicted.
👎 Tell us when she misses: every Juliet reply now carries a small thumbs-down — one tap flags a wrong or unhelpful answer straight to the dev team. Combined with her own capability reports, what users actually need is now what drives which tools get built next.

Rally Markers Every N Miles

July 18, 2026

📍 Distance markers, measured on the line

"Put an RM marker every 5 miles along the course": Juliet can now place standalone distance markers (RM5, RM10, RM15 …) at exact mile intervals along any route — the engine walks the route's real geometry and interpolates every marker directly onto the line, so a 1,100-mile course gets all 220 markers each exactly on the course. Pick your own interval, name prefix, and icon; mile 0 is the route's start, no reference points needed.
Honest by construction: the engine reports how many markers it placed, first and last (e.g. RM5 → RM1100) — and refuses loudly if the file has several routes and it isn't told which one, rather than guessing.

Juliet Sees Your Routes — and Modifies Them Cleanly

July 17, 2026

🗺️ Route endpoints, visible at last

Juliet now sees where every route starts and ends: her view of your file previously listed routes by name, color, and distance only — so "where does my route home begin?" was unanswerable and she'd have to ask you. Every route now reports its start and end coordinates, so she can reason about your routes the way you see them on the map.

🔁 "Add a stop to my route" now swaps, never duplicates

Atomic route modify: asking Juliet to reroute an existing road route — add a coffee stop, drop a leg, swing past a fuel station — now rebuilds it through the new stops and replaces the original in one save. No more second copy of the route stacking up next to the old one.
Fail-loud, not fail-silent: if the route she's asked to replace doesn't match anything in the file, the engine refuses and lists the routes it does see — instead of quietly adding a stray new line.
Undo still has your back: a replaced route is one ↺ Undo away, same as every other change.
Race courses stay sacred: this applies to road-built routes only — a laid course is still never re-routed, merged, or redrawn by the road builder.

Every Tool's GPX Welcome

July 8, 2026

🧩 Files from every tool now render

Malformed-but-common GPX repaired automatically: some route-planning tools export GPX with technically-broken XML (undeclared extension namespaces) that strict map parsers reject — the route name would appear but no line would draw. LN COMMAND now repairs these files automatically at import, on every map render, and on every save. Already-uploaded files start rendering on your next refresh — no re-upload needed.
Odd filenames can't hide your file: a file named like "course.gpx 2" (Apple's rename when unzipping a duplicate) now imports and reads correctly — and if a file record ever really can't be found, Juliet says so instead of claiming your collection is empty.

🎯 Turn cues that can't be faked — and a real Undo

Street navigation on your course (early beta): if you ask Juliet for street cues, the engine map-matches your route's real geometry against the road network and injects "TURN LEFT ONTO SMITH RD" cues at named junctions — only where the course follows mapped roads. Cue placement is still being tuned, so review what she places; she won't offer this on her own yet.
Turn-angle cues from geometry: "add Hard Left / Hard Right cues" now walks the route's actual points and measures real bearing changes — clustered switchbacks collapse to one cue, existing cues are respected, and nothing is ever estimated.
Undo, everywhere: a standing ↺ Undo button now lives in the bottom bar next to Layers — it restores the file to before the most recent change, whoever made it. Juliet also undoes on request ("undo that"), and every "Map updated with changes" message carries its own one-tap ↺ Undo chip.
◼ Stop button: a thinking Juliet can now be stopped mid-turn — and turns that die quietly are automatically cleaned up within a minute instead of "thinking" forever.

🛠️ More surgical Juliet

Direction fixes & bulk renames: Juliet can now reverse a route's direction of travel (same points, flipped order — she'll warn you if turn cues ride along) and bulk-rename markers ("fix every VPC typo to VCP") without touching anything else.
Juliet sees your screenshots: messages with photos or screenshots attached now reach the same Juliet that edits your files — no more separate limited path for image questions.
Trip Planner route list stays current: the Find Along Route picker now refreshes the moment the map does — a route Juliet just merged or spliced shows up in the list immediately, no tab-hopping required.

Race Courses Are Sacred

July 7, 2026

🏁 Merge race sections without touching a single point

True route merge: ask Juliet to merge your course sections into one continuous route and she now stitches the original points together exactly as laid — every point copied verbatim, zero re-routing. Your originals stay on the map as reference unless you say otherwise.
No invented connectors: if two sections don't actually meet, the merge stops and tells you the measured gap instead of quietly drawing a road between them.
Course corrections, spliced surgically: when organizers issue a corrected segment (a "USE THIS" route), Juliet can now splice it into the course — the old slice is cut out, the new segment inserted point-for-point, and the rest of the route untouched. Both ends must genuinely reconnect to the course, or she tells you instead of guessing.
Recolor without rebuilding: changing a route's color or name is now an in-place edit — the line itself is never redrawn.
It's a Law: existing route geometry — especially a race organizer's laid course — can no longer be altered by a merge or a style change. Road routing is for building new routes only.

Find Along Route, Sharpened

July 6, 2026

🔎 Search the route you picked

Route picker now means it: choosing a route in Find Along Route searches along that route only. Files with several routes no longer get every route searched at once — and the "all routes" option now searches each route on its own line instead of treating them as one long chain.
"Top rated only" earns its name: it now keeps only stops with a proven top rating — 4.2★ and up, weighted by how many people actually rated them. A fast-food counter with a middling score can't sneak in as "top rated coffee" anymore.
Simpler panel: the stop-spacing dropdown is gone — pick a route, a category, a max distance, and go. (Spacing like "a fuel stop every 300 miles" is a Juliet request.)

Free Preview, Human Verification & Your License Menu

July 6, 2026

🎟️ Try it free, for real

Free preview: new accounts get a genuine taste of LN COMMAND — 3 Trip Packages, 5 dropped points, 2 route builds (up to 150 miles), and a find-along-route search — then a friendly nudge toward a license instead of a wall of errors.
Your license, one tap away: the profile menu now shows your plan and a "License & Credits" shortcut to your account page, and the plan meter is visible on every plan — including Free.
Human verification: sign-ups and sign-ins are now protected by Cloudflare Turnstile — usually an invisible check, always a locked door for bots.
Password reset fixed: the "Forgot password?" dialog now runs its own quick verification check right in the dialog and sends reset links reliably.
Checkout returns you home: after buying a license or credit pack you land right back on your account page — signed in, where you started.
Docs where you need them: the ? menu now links Plans & Credits, the Terms of Service, and the Privacy Policy alongside the guides.
Email confirmations: new accounts confirm their email before their first sign-in.

Your Account, Plans & Licenses

July 5, 2026

🪪 One account, one license

My Account page: your plan, license renewal date, and the full credit picture — this month's bar, your banked credits, and purchased packs — all in one place, with billing management built in. Find it from the plan meter's "Upgrade / Add credits" button.
Plans & pricing: the license ladder is public — Free, Entry, Pro, and Enterprise. LN COMMAND licenses are yearly (pay monthly or up front) and your price is locked for your entire license year. Purchases open when public signups do.
Works with any GPS: LN COMMAND is a universal GPS trip-planning tool — upload a GPX from Garmin, LEADNAV GPS, or anything that exports GPX, and it renders live on the map.
Friendly credit nudges: a one-time heads-up when you've used 80% of a month's credits, and a clean "add credits" prompt if you ever run dry — no more cryptic errors.
Signups are coming: the new account-creation flow is built and tested — LN COMMAND is invite-only for a little longer while we finish launch prep.

Your Plan Meter, Front and Center

July 3, 2026

📊 See your plan at a glance

Plan meter moved to the bottom bar: your usage meter now sits next to the map stats — visible anywhere in the app instead of buried in the Juliet panel, and it covers everything: Juliet, Trip Planner, and premium searches.
Tap for the full picture: the meter expands to show what's actually using your plan — Juliet planning, route building, searches — as simple percentages, plus a count of searches served from free map data (those cost you nothing).
Monthly credits that bank: your plan now works in credits — a fresh allowance each month, and whatever you don't use banks automatically for your big trips and race season. The meter shows this month's usage and your banked balance side by side.

Find Along Route: Cross-Country Searches

July 2, 2026

⛽ No route is too long anymore

Cross-country searches now work: "Find Along Route" (and Juliet's along-route searches) used to come back empty on very long routes — a 2,000+ mile route is now searched automatically in sections, end to end.
Honest coverage, always: if a stretch of the route can't be searched, you're told exactly which miles were missed — never a silent empty result.
Smart backup search: when the free map data doesn't have what you asked for, a small, capped backup search fills the gap automatically and tells you it did.
Stop spacing: new "Stop spacing" option — "one every ~250 miles" keeps the most on-route stop per stretch instead of dumping every match. And if a search would return thousands of markers (all hotels, 25 miles out, cross-country), it now tells you up front and suggests how to narrow it instead of burying your map.

A Smoother, More Reliable Juliet Chat

June 29, 2026

💬 Chat that keeps up with you

Keep typing while she works: the message box no longer locks up while Juliet is on a task — type and send your next request and it queues up, instead of leaving you waiting on a frozen input.
No more double-answers: if your connection hiccups or you tap send twice, Juliet runs your request exactly once — no duplicate work, and no "you just asked me that."
Your answer always lands: even on big jobs that take a few minutes, Juliet's reply is saved and delivered reliably — it can't get lost to a dropped connection anymore.

🗺️ Smarter trips, faster Juliet

Multi-stop trips come out as one route: ask for a trip "from A through B to C" and you get a single continuous route through every stop — not separate, disconnected legs.
Juliet is quicker: she's been rebuilt under the hood — no "getting ready" wait before your first message, and she stays fast even as more people use her at once.

Juliet Gets More Dependable

June 28, 2026

Stable

🧭 Trips that stay on the road — and answers you can trust

Stops stay on your route: when Juliet builds a trip through your stops, every stop now lands on the route line — no more camps or sights stranded a state away. She measures each stop's distance to the road and reports it, so "on your route" actually means on your route.
She knows what's on your map: Juliet now reads the exact, live contents of your file — every route, marker, icon, and distance — before she answers, so she tells you what's actually there instead of describing it from memory. No more confidently-wrong answers about your trip.
She finishes the whole request: ask for two things — "camping every 250 mi and some good scenic stops" — and you get both, placed and on-route, instead of half the job and a "want me to also…?"

🤖 Juliet — markers & searches you can trust

Area searches actually land: when you ask Juliet to mark every gas station, marina, or campground in an area, the markers now reliably appear on the map with the right icons — and the count she reports matches what you see.
Search by brand: "mark all the Sheetz along my route" gives you Sheetz, not every fuel stop. Brand and name filtering now works the way you'd expect — and isn't tripped up by punctuation (Love's vs Loves).
"One every N miles" spacing: ask for a fuel stop every 200 miles and you get a handful of well-spaced, on-route stops — not a wall of 100+ pins.
Honest edits: when Juliet says she removed or kept certain markers, she actually did it — no more "done!" without the change landing on the map.

🔎 Web lookups that work

Juliet can search the web again: ask her to look something up — a business, trail conditions, race info, weather — and she pulls real results instead of coming up empty.

⏳ Big jobs don't feel broken anymore

Long requests stay on track: a big multi-stop trip can take a few minutes — the chat now waits cleanly and drops the finished result on the map on its own, with no confusing "connection dropped" messages and no way to accidentally double-send while she's still working.
You get her full answer: even when a long job runs past the connection limit, Juliet's complete write-up now appears when it's done — not just a silent map update.

Trip Packages, Smarter Routing & Safer Saves

June 27, 2026

Stable

📦 Collections are now Trip Packages

Renamed throughout to line up with LEADNAV GPS — same GPS-file library, new name. Your files and history are unchanged.

🛣️ Trip Planner

Route Stats card: after you build a route, a "Last Route" card shows total distance, drive time, and turn count — and the panel stays open so you can actually see it.
Find Along Route keyword now works: filter results by brand or name — type "Shell" and you get Shell stations, not every gas station.
Routes come out LEADNAV-ready: routes you build in LNCOMMAND are automatically thinned to the right density for the app, so a big loop exports as a clean, navigable file instead of a giant one that lags the phone. Files you upload are left exactly as-is.

🛡️ Safer File Saving

Version history: every save now keeps previous versions in the cloud, so a bad edit is always recoverable.
Better Undo: "Undo Last Change" restores the previous saved version even if your device's local copy is gone.
No more silent overwrites: a Trip Planner save can no longer quietly clobber a change Juliet just made — if they collide you're asked to retry instead of losing work.
Integrity check: every saved file carries a fingerprint so corruption is caught, not served.

Course Notes from PDFs & Spreadsheets

June 2, 2026

Stable

📎 Share Files with Juliet

Drag & drop anywhere in Juliet's chat — screenshots, PDFs, or spreadsheets. Or use the 📎 button.
PDF upload is back, and now you can drop a file straight onto the whole chat window, not just the text box.

🗒️ Course-Note Injection

Race-bible PDF: drop it and Juliet reads every course note and places it along your route at the right spot — calibrated against your file's fixed RM (mile markers) and VCP points, because drawn route distance isn't true course mileage.
Spreadsheet (.xlsx / .csv): if your notes include coordinates, she drops each note exactly; if it's mileage-only, she calibrates like a PDF.
Private by design: spreadsheets are read on your device — the file itself never leaves your browser.

Reliability & Live Health

June 1, 2026

Stable

🛡️ Juliet Reliability

Automatic recovery of stuck sessions, plus a nightly self-test that catches problems before you hit them.
Honest errors: if something fails, Juliet now tells you the real reason instead of a generic "something went wrong."
A live Health & Usage dashboard for the LEADNAV Systems team.

🐛 Bug Fixes

Fixed: "Add to existing collection" now merges the imported file into your open collection instead of losing context.

🛣️ New Juliet Abilities

Juliet can now build a road route and find POIs along a route, writing them straight into your open collection.
Warmup: open Juliet's panel and she gets ready in the background, so your first message comes back faster.
Long jobs that outlive the connection now land on your map automatically when they finish — no reload, no resend.

🧭 Trip Planner Hardening

Town/city names now resolve in Route Builder (geocoding fallback), fuel stops are capped to a tight on-route corridor, plus a batch of UX polish across every Trip Planner flow.

🐛 Bug Fixes

Fixed: route turn-cue symbols were being stripped to a default icon — now preserved.
Fixed: new-user signup and the "Edit Name / Could not reach server" error.

Dedicated Juliet — Full Power

v2.1.0 — Trip Planner Overhaul

May 23, 2026

Stable

🗺️ Trip Planner — Place Search

Place Search is now the default tab when opening Trip Planner
Map-aware search: searches are automatically biased to your current map view — type "Walmart" and get all nearby Walmarts, no city name needed
Area searches ("gas stations in Gettysburg PA", "hotels near Hampton Roads") return all results as map markers
"near me" queries now resolve to your actual map location
Single precise addresses still drop a single pin

📍 New: Click-to-Place Marker

New "Click Map" toggle in Place Search — click anywhere on the map to drop a pin at that exact spot
Perfect for marking off-road locations, trail junctions, or any spot with no address
Uses the selected icon and label from the Place Search fields

No page reload needed

🔎 Full Icon Picker

Icon selector now shows all available LEADNAV marker symbols organized by category: Standard, Recon, Hunting, Aviation
Visual grid matching the LEADNAV GPS iOS app icon layout

☕ Find Along Route — Coffee Added

Coffee shops added to the Find Along Route category list

🐛 Bug Fixes

Fixed: Route Builder and Place Search tabs were bleeding into each other
Fixed: Tab order corrected — Place Search shown first
Fixed: App was loading centered on Baja California instead of continental US
Fixed: Map layer stacking order — routes now always render above tracks; waypoints always on top
Fixed: Diamond marker icons displayed with correct aspect ratio (not squashed)

v2.0.8

May 17, 2026

Fixed: Trip Package tool was showing raw internal output in chat instead of Juliet’s formatted response with a clickable download link
Cleaned up duplicate trip package endpoint — consolidated to single implementation

v2.0.7

May 17, 2026

New Trip Package — ask Juliet for a "trip package" or "PDF with map" and she generates a full package: satellite overview map with your route overlaid, route stats, and waypoint table
Map image powered by Google Maps Static API — satellite view by default, route drawn as a red line with green Start / red End markers
Opens as a web page you can print to PDF from any browser (Ctrl+P → Save as PDF)

v2.0.6

May 17, 2026

Fixed: Juliet area searches (e.g. "find all hospitals around the route") were geocoding the phrase "around the route area" to a random US location — injecting the active GPS file's centroid coordinates into the search context so Juliet uses the actual file location instead of guessing
Fixed: Juliet could bypass the area-search gate by placing ≤5 markers directly from training memory — reverted to binary block: any direct waypoint write on an area-search request now requires SEARCH_TOOL (live Overpass/OSM query)
Fixed: Trip Planner "Find Along Route" now shows a warning when the active route is over 200 miles long, so results being spread across the full corridor is expected and visible

v2.0.5

May 17, 2026

Fixed: Juliet could not place small sets of targeted markers (e.g. "mark hospitals with phone numbers") — the area-search gate was blocking all direct waypoint writes regardless of count

v2.0.4

May 17, 2026

Fixed: 📍 My Location button now correctly fills your GPS coordinates into the Origin field — previously the button panned the map but left the field empty
Fixed: Marker names as destination — typing "TGT", "to TGT marker", "HLZ", etc. now routes directly to the exact GPX pin coordinates instead of falling back to Google geocoding

v2.0.3

May 17, 2026

Fixed: Typing "my location" or "here" in origin/destination now shows a clear error and directs you to use the 📍 button — previously it geocoded to a generic city area instead of your actual GPS position
Fixed: Destination marker names with natural language like "to TGT marker" now correctly resolve to the GPX pin — filler words (to, the, marker, waypoint, etc.) are stripped before lookup
Fixed: 10-second timeout on sign-in — if Supabase is slow to respond, the button resets with a retry message instead of hanging indefinitely

v2.0.2

May 17, 2026

The GPS file upload zone now accepts KML, KMZ, Lowrance USR, and ZIP files — all auto-converted to GPX in the browser before uploading
KML — Google Earth route, track, and waypoint files convert directly
KMZ — Zipped KML files are extracted and converted
ZIP — Archives are scanned for GPS files (GPX, KML, KMZ) and merged into one GPX
USR — Lowrance USR v4/v5 binary waypoint files are parsed and converted

🐛 Bug Fixes

Removed PDF from GPS collections upload — PDFs go via Juliet chat, not collections
Fixed mobile topbar overflow on narrow iPhones — all buttons now fit cleanly on small screens

Place Search: Type any address, business, or landmark — drops a single precise marker. Type “Starbucks in Hampton Roads” or “state parks in Pennsylvania” to find and mark ALL matching locations in that area (up to 60 results). Detects city vs. state/country and adjusts search radius automatically
📍 My Location button in Place Search too — fill search with your GPS coordinates
↺ Undo Last Change button on every tab — restores the file to its state before the last Trip Planner action
Loading overlay with status message blocks double-actions during all operations
Map toast notifications confirm every result (e.g. “✓ Found 23 Fuel Stop stops along your route”)
Trip Planner and Juliet share the same file — use Trip Planner to find locations, then ask Juliet to filter, rename, or reorganize them

💀 Juliet Improvements

Juliet header always shows “Mission Planning Specialist AI” — collection name no longer replaces her title

Spiderweb Gate

Juliet cannot attempt to untangle overlapping tracks without you first providing a start point, end point, and direction of travel. Enforced at the server level — she cannot bypass it.
🗑️

Delete Confirmation Gate

Deleting any map element (track, route, waypoint, marker) now requires a confirmation step. The server describes exactly what will be deleted and waits for your confirmation before executing.

🔍 Search — Now Uses Both OSM + Google Places

🗺️ Smarter Routing — Use Any Road, Town, or Stop

🗺️

Via-Point Routing Actually Works

When you ask Juliet to route via specific roads, through a town, past a landmark, or stopping at a business — she now actually does it. Previously, Juliet would acknowledge the request and then ignore it, letting OSRM pick the fastest path regardless. Now those requests become real intermediate waypoints the route is forced through.
🗣️

Natural Language Understood

You can now say things like: "route it through downtown Chesapeake", "stop at the Flying J on I-64", "take the scenic route along the coast", "I want to go past the harbor", or "use back roads." Juliet understands the full range of routing language — not just "via."
🚫

Avoid Options

Tell Juliet to avoid specific road types: "no highways" / "back roads" / "scenic route" avoids interstates. "No tolls" avoids toll roads. "No ferry" avoids ferry crossings. These are passed directly to the routing engine.

🐛 Bug Fixes

Fixed: Via-waypoints were silently dropped — OSRM now receives all requested stops as intermediate coordinates
Fixed: Multi-leg routes (3+ stops) now collect turn-by-turn steps from all legs, not just the first
Fixed: Unresolvable stops now reported back to you instead of silently skipped

v1.5.0

May 4, 2026

🔒 Security Hardening

🔒

User Data Fully Isolated

Comprehensive security audit completed. Every user’s conversations, GPS files, and collections are now enforced at the database level — no account can access another’s data. Supabase Row Level Security applied across all tables and file storage.
⚠️

Cloud Sync Failure Alert

If Juliet’s file update fails to sync to cloud storage, a yellow warning now appears in the chat — “Map updated locally but cloud sync failed — your file is safe on this device.” Previously this failed silently with no indication.
🔄

Automatic Upload Retry

When Juliet writes a file, the upload to cloud storage now retries automatically up to 3 times if a transient error occurs. Ensures large files (thousands of markers, full race files) sync reliably even under unstable network conditions.
🗂️

5-Version File History

Every time Juliet edits a file, the previous version is preserved in a rolling 5-version backup ring. Previously only one undo level existed — one operation could wipe your prior state. Now you have 5 levels of recovery.

🐛 Bug Fixes

Fixed: Cloud upload hanging indefinitely if Supabase had a slow response — 30-second timeout now enforced on all uploads
Fixed: API endpoints accessible without authentication — all proxy endpoints now require valid credentials
Fixed: Sensitive API keys stored in source code — moved to environment variables

v1.4.0

May 4, 2026

Stable

✨ New Features

🔍

Area Search — Find Anything, Anywhere

Ask Juliet to find any type of place across any geographic area — no route needed. "Mark all grocery stores in Currituck County", "Find every hospital in Chesapeake", "Show all airports in Arizona", "Add every McDonald's in Virginia Beach." Works for anything — gas stations, police stations, fire stations, marinas, boat ramps, gyms, banks, ATMs, hotels, restaurants, schools, churches, parks, zoos, museums, and more. Powered by OpenStreetMap — free, global coverage.
🟨

Federal Lands Layer

New toggle in the Layers panel. Shows BLM, National Forest, National Park, Wildlife Refuge, and other federal land management areas as colored fills at 45% opacity over any basemap. Stacks underneath your parcel outlines when both are enabled.

🛡️ Reliability

🔒

No More Phantom Responses

Fixed a class of issues where Juliet would confidently report work as done when nothing was actually written to the map. The server now structurally blocks these responses — if no file was written, you get an honest failure message, not a false confirmation.

🐛 Bug Fixes

Fixed: Parcels and Federal Lands toggles appearing ON after page reload when layers weren't actually loaded — both now always start OFF
Fixed: Airport searches returning zero results — wrong internal database tag was being used
Fixed: Large airports (like Currituck County Regional) missing from area searches — complex map features now included

v1.3.0

May 2–3, 2026

Stable

✨ New Features

🛣️

Road Route Builder

Juliet can now build real road-following routes from scratch. Give her a start and end point — or a list of waypoints — and she builds a GPS route that follows actual roads, tracks, and paths using OpenStreetMap road data. Routes come out as proper LEADNAV-format GPX files ready to transfer to your iPad. Works anywhere in the world including Baja.
📍

GPS Location Pin — Drop Context Into Chat

Tap the 📍 pin button in the chat bar to capture your current GPS location. Your coordinates are automatically injected into your next message — tell Juliet to "drop a marker here" or "find hospitals near me" and she has your exact location. One-shot — clears automatically after each message.
🏡

Property Parcel Layer

New toggle in the Layers panel. Tap any property to see owner name, parcel address, acreage, and APN/parcel number. Labels appear when zoomed to street level. Works across all map types (Satellite, Topo, Recon). Powered by Regrid.
📍

Drop a Marker Anywhere in the World

Juliet can now place a marker at any named location anywhere in the world — no route needed. Give her a business name, address, GPS coordinates, or just a place description and she'll find it and place it on your map.
⛽

POI Search Along Your Route

With a route loaded, ask Juliet to find services along the way — "Find fuel stops along my route", "Show restaurants within 10 miles", "Add hospitals along the way." Results drop as markers on the map automatically.
🔄

Turn Detection — Bearing-Based Audible Waypoints

When Juliet builds a route, she now detects actual turn angles at each waypoint. Left turns, right turns, slight curves, and U-turns are automatically assigned the correct LEADNAV audible icon (Left Turn, Right Turn, etc.) based on the bearing change — not just guessing from the name.
🔗

Multi-Step Tool Chains

Juliet can now chain multiple operations in sequence — build a route, then find POIs along it, then drop additional markers — each step confirming before the next.
🔒

Full-Fidelity Route Rendering — Locked

Route and track lines now always render at full fidelity regardless of zoom level. Previously, zooming out could cause lines to be simplified. That's permanently locked off — what you see is exactly what's in your file.

🐛 Bug Fixes

Fixed: Markers disappearing after Juliet updates a file in 3D mode — labels now persist across all re-renders
Fixed: Map zooming out to space (zoom level 0) after some Juliet responses — minimum zoom clamped to prevent this
Fixed: Switching back to 2D from 3D caused all markers to vanish — marker layer now fully restored on 2D return
Fixed: Orange route color not recognized by Juliet — all 9 LEADNAV route colors now fully documented in her context
Fixed: POI results placing markers in water or miles off-route — proximity gate added, results more than 1.5km off-route are rejected
Fixed: ROUTE_TOOL instruction defined but never sent to Juliet — she could see the tool structure but never received instructions on how to use it
Fixed: Road routes drawing as straight lines between waypoints instead of following actual road geometry — now uses full step-by-step geometry from the routing engine
Fixed: Location pin injecting GPS coordinates into every message instead of just one — now injects once then clears
Fixed: Parcel layer crashing 3D mode — cleanly disabled on 3D entry and restored on return to 2D
Fixed: Parcel layer breaking map type switching — surgical fix restores all basemap transitions
Fixed: Parcel owner labels not rendering — missing font/glyphs URL added to tile layer style
Fixed: Parcel labels appearing too late (zoom 15) — now appear at zoom 14
Fixed: Juliet's MARKER_TOOL and ROUTE_TOOL syntax leaking into visible chat replies — all tool signal text now stripped from user-facing output
Fixed: 3D map crashing when opened without a collection loaded — null-safe fix applied
Fixed: Undo backup files not cleaning up properly over time
Fixed: Stale collection shortcut appearing in UI after deletion

v1.2.0

🧭

Rotating Compass

Live compass rotates as you pan the map. Tap it to snap back to north-up instantly. Works in both 2D and 3D modes, tracks camera heading in 3D.
⏳

? button in the toolbar opens quick-access links to all reference guides — Marker Symbol Guide, Route Colors, Getting Started, Working with Juliet, and this Update Log.
🎯

Marker Symbol Guide

Full visual reference guide for all 85+ LEADNAV marker icons — browse by category, see previews, and get the exact names to use when talking to Juliet. Available at /marker-guide.html.

🐛 Bug Fixes

Fixed: New collection not auto-selected after creation — required manual click to open it
Fixed: Map not clearing when switching to a new empty collection
Fixed: 3D toggle failing due to incorrect container handling — now uses ESRI-safe method
Fixed: Compass not tracking heading in 3D mode
Fixed: Compass always hidden when map was north-up — now always visible
Fixed: Collections failing to load after internal team refactor
Fixed: "3D Satellite" option showing globe emoji in the map type menu

v1.1.0

April 28–30, 2026

✨ New Features

📱

Full iPhone & Mobile Support

Complete mobile layout pass. LNCommand now works properly on iPhone and iPad in portrait and landscape. Safe area insets throughout — notch, Dynamic Island, and home indicator are all handled correctly. Verified on all common iPhone and iPad sizes.
📂

Upload Destination Choice

When uploading a file, you're now prompted to choose: create a new collection for it, or add it to an existing one. No more files dropped into the wrong place.
🔊

Improved Juliet Voice

Juliet's spoken responses are now clean natural speech — markdown symbols, bold headers, bullet points, and formatting stripped before going to voice. Character limit raised to 1,500 characters. If truncation is needed, it cuts at a sentence boundary — never mid-word or mid-thought.
🗃️

Chat Message Logging

All Juliet conversations are now logged to the database — enables future review, training, and analytics.

🐛 Bug Fixes

Fixed: Layers toggle panel cut off right edge of screen on iPhone
Fixed: Bottom bar overlapping iPhone home indicator
Fixed: Topbar hidden behind notch on iPhone
Fixed: Juliet voice stopping early at em dashes and section headers
Fixed: Juliet formatting long responses as hard-to-read wall-of-text — now clean bullet lists
Fixed: Sending a screenshot alongside a message caused Juliet to ignore the message entirely and discuss screenshots instead
Fixed: Session state (map data, chat) not clearing on logout — could leak data to next user on shared devices
Fixed: Mobile bottom sheet drag-to-close not working reliably

v1.0.0
