Real-time presence on shared maps, a trash for restoring deleted routes, and faster load times

Plot Along 2.5.5 adds real-time presence on shared maps, more reliable collaboration sync, a trash that lets you restore deleted routes within 30 days, and faster load times.

Real-time presence and collaboration

• Live presence. When someone else opens a shared map, their avatar appears so you can see who is viewing the route. Avatars update as people join and leave.
• More reliable sync. The editor recovers after more types of disconnects and preserves more changes.
• Collaborator removal. Remove yourself from maps and receive access changes from admins faster.

Trash for deleted routes

• Deleted routes go to the trash. Deleting a route puts it in the trash instead of removing it entirely.
• Restore within 30 days. You can restore a route from the trash any time within 30 days. After that, trashed routes are purged automatically.
• Plan limits. Trashing a route frees space against your plan limit right away.

Faster loading and automatic updates

• Faster first load. Pages render sooner and connect to the asset host ahead of time, so maps and routes appear faster on a first visit.
• Automatic updates. If you added Plot Along to your home screen, it updates to the latest release right away the next time you open it.

Other changes

• Reveal password. The sign in, register and change password forms have a toggle to show what you typed.
• Map rotation on shared maps. The public map view now supports bearing rotation.
• Elevation in exports. GPX and GeoJSON exports now include per-point elevation.
• Cleaner map cards. Dashboard description snippets no longer show raw Markdown characters.
• Avatar fallback. Profiles without a name show an icon and email instead of an empty circle.
• Default share metadata. Maps without a title or description now get default share and search metadata.
