We add every improvement here so you (and search engines) can see the app is actively developed.

Beta 0.8

July 2026

📤 Upload & recording
  • Upload without a Garmin watch: we now accept FIT, GPX and TCX files – from an Apple Watch (e.g. HealthFit), phone GPS apps, Suunto, COROS, or a Garmin Connect / Strava export. Speed, distance, GPS track and your 2 s / 30 s top speeds are computed automatically.
  • New speed disciplines: Best 500 m and Best nautical mile rankings – on the website and on the watch.
  • A short in-app guide shows exactly how to export your session from other apps.
⌚ Garmin watch app
  • Redesigned training screens in the app's look: big current speed, live 2 s and session max.
  • Configurable screens: show/hide pages and switch the big unit (km/h ↔ knots) right from the watch settings.
🗺️ Spots & Spot-TV
  • Spot weather now shows wind, gusts & direction, temperature and sunset.
  • Live webcams embed cleanly (YouTube & co.) and start automatically; plus a spot sponsor banner and a "Sponsored by" credit for local partners.
  • Spot-TV (café / shop screen): record date & board tiles and an auto-refresh safeguard for always-on displays.
🛠️ Backoffice & ads
  • Advertising can be split per sport per spot (e.g. different sponsors for kite vs. windsurf).
  • Rotate gallery photos, a built-in contact / feedback form, and an improved product import that reads more shops' price & image.
📱 Community & mobile
  • Guest quick-entry: scan the Spot-TV QR code and join today's ranking without an account.
  • Mobile layout optimised: sections stack on phones and ranking tables are shown slimmed (date without the time, km/h only – swipe for more).
  • Installable web app (PWA), new icons and many small fixes.
