What's New

New Features and Enhancements in Version 20 (July 2025)

What's New

Material Design 3

Boatspeed now implements the new Google design standard "Material 3." This results in slight changes to the app's appearance. In addition to the dark look, a "light mode" is now available. Improvements have also been made to fullscreen mode, with the switch for fullscreen mode now prominently displayed in the main menu.

Magnetic Compass

Boatspeed now displays a magnetic compass if the device supports it. The compass can be turned on and off via the Speed ​​menu.

GPX Import in Tracking

GPX tracks can now be imported in the Tracking view, just like in the Navigation view. This also imports the special fields of the Navionics Boating app tracks. Since Navionics records a large number of points, the import limits the number of waypoints to one every two minutes.

The distance picker can now be turned on and off using a switch on the map.
