All above belong to a basic version. Lifetime PRO Pack upgrade will add following capabilities:

+ Native Google map with fantastic terrain map, amazing 3D and real night mode.
+ Adding own/custom tile map servers.
+ Downloading offline maps. Offline maps import in .sqlitedb, rmaps, mbtiles formats. Support for overzoom and underzoom - offline map is shown even for zoom levels that are not downloaded.
+ GPX import and export for waypoints, tracks and routes.
+ Google Earth KML support for waypoints and tracks import/export. KMZ support for waypoints and tracks export, waypoints import.
+ Ground overlays. Import KMZ ground overlay or draw your own on the map in the app and share as kmz files!
+ CSV import/export for waypoints.
+ Voice coach to tell you active track distance and duration, current speed and altitude without need to open the app.
+ Support for Siri shortcuts in IOS 12 for starting and stopping GPS tracks.
+ From version 4.2 - support for OSGB (including grid shifts) and SK 42 in the coordinates converter.
+ BACKGROUND MODE. App will work in background automatically when tracking. You can use other apps while Compass 55 does its job in the background!
+ PRIVACY. Compass 55 never shares your location data with 3rd parties or ad agencies. Location data is used solely for telling you direction to a target and recording GPS tracks and never leave the app unless you decide to share by means of a track export. It always lets you know when background mode is on and never runs in background unless the track is being recorded.
! You can use this app on your iPhone as well as on any cellular iPad. **App will not work properly on iPods and wifi only iPads as they don't have GPS (external GPS module is required). As quite a lot of us are using external GPS modules, app is available for wifi only iPads and iPods.
! Please note that as with all GPS apps, continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
