WayfindR 1.3.3

Two APKs, pick one:

APK What's in it
Wayfindr-1.3.3-OSS.apk (recommended) Everything except music and caller names on the dash. Installs normally, no need to turn off Play Protect.
Wayfindr-1.3.3-OSS-full.apk Everything, including now-playing and caller names on the dash. Google Play Protect may block it ("App blocked to protect your device"); see the README for how to install it.

Both use the same app ID and signing key, so either one installs over 1.3.2 and keeps your data.

What's new

  • Share a saved destination as a QR code. Tap the share icon next to any saved destination (Home or Route screen) to see its QR code, with the destination's name above it. It includes every stop, in order, with names. From there you can share the image to WhatsApp or any other app, or save it to your gallery (Pictures/Wayfindr).
  • Open a shared route by scanning. Point your phone's camera at the QR code and tap the link it shows: WayfindR opens with all the stops loaded on the Route screen. If the route isn't saved on your phone yet, a Save button appears.
  • Load a route from a QR image. On the Route screen, tap Load route from QR image and pick a saved QR picture or a screenshot.
  • QR sharing works fully offline. No server, no account, nothing uploaded.
  • Better offline sharing from Google Maps. If you share a place with no internet, WayfindR now looks for a saved place with the same name and uses it. If there's no match, it tells you why instead of showing an empty map. The map also stays centred on you instead of jumping to the middle of the ocean.
  • Version 1.3.3 (15).

WayfindR 1.3.2

Two APKs now — pick one:

APK What's in it
Wayfindr-1.3.2-OSS.apk (recommended) Everything except music and caller names on the dash. Installs normally — no need to turn off Play Protect.
Wayfindr-1.3.2-OSS-full.apk Everything, including now-playing and caller names on the dash. Google Play Protect may block it ("App blocked to protect your device"); see the README for how to install it.

Both use the same app ID and signing key, so either one installs over 1.3.1 and keeps your data, and you can switch editions later.

What's new

  • Two editions so the app installs without Play Protect getting in the way (fixes #1).
  • The app sleeps when you're not using it. After about 10 minutes with no WayfindR screen open and no connection to the dash's Wi-Fi, it stops GPS, any reconnect attempts and other background work. Opening the app or connecting to the dash wakes it.
  • Version 1.3.2 (14).
