Spring has arrived, and so have exciting new updates to your OuterSpatial experience! We've been hard at work enhancing our app to make your outdoor adventures more accessible, personalized, and enjoyable.
A Fresh Look with Purpose
We've refreshed our visual design with updated colors and fonts throughout the app. These changes aren't just cosmetic—they improve readability and accessibility for all users, whether you're planning a hike in your car at the trailhead or checking challenge details in bright sunlight.
As part of this refresh, we've redesigned information cards to highlight the most important details at a glance. This helps you make quick decisions while keeping essential information easily accessible when you need it.
Your Personalized Adventure Hub
The community home screen has been completely reimagined. Now, it adapts to you—showcasing content based on your preferences, current location, and the current day and time. This time-awareness means you'll see important alerts like weather warnings or trail closures when they're active, along with upcoming challenges and events that are relevant to your interests. Whether you're looking for accessible trails, cycling routes, or scenic viewpoints, your home screen will highlight what matters most to you right when you need it.
Simplified Community Navigation
Finding and switching between your favorite communities is now easier than ever. We've streamlined the community library design, making it simpler to discover new locations and quickly access communities you've saved for offline use—perfect for those adventures beyond cellular coverage.
Enhanced Social Features
Sharing your outdoor experiences and connecting with fellow nature enthusiasts is an integral part of OuterSpatial. We've redesigned our social features to improve navigation and usability, making it more intuitive to share your adventures and discover inspiring journeys from others.
Elevation Profiles for Trail and Outing Maps
Your trail navigation just got an upgrade! We've added interactive elevation profiles to outing detail maps that show you exactly where you are on the elevation curve as you progress along your route. This real-time feature helps you anticipate upcoming climbs and descents while you're out on the trail. When you need a larger map view, simply collapse the profile with a tap to maximize your screen space.

These updates are available now in the latest version of OuterSpatial. Simply update your app to start enjoying these enhancements on your next outdoor adventure.
We're committed to continually improving how you discover, experience, and share the natural world. We'd love to hear your feedback on these updates as you explore your favorite outdoor spaces this spring!
