Release notes

What changed in each build. The newest is first.

Build #1658 11.6.26

• I rolled back a Play hold change.

Build #1655 11.6.26

• I rolled back a volume change that did not help.

Build #1653 11.6.26

• I rolled back a voice volume change that made the site stop responding. The app should work again.

Build #1650 11.5.26

• I refuse any request to record a visit or a tap log, and the page no longer sends one.
• I stopped loading the large built-in voice files after every Calculate. Those files load only if you pick that voice.
• I removed pictures the live page does not show.
• I corrected the hours note on settlement statements so it matches the statements.
• I stopped allowing an unused outside script host on the page.

Build #1649 11.5.26

• Nav speed chip shows your miles per hour again when GPS has speed.

Build #1648 11.5.26

• Detours place search asks you to sign into Planigator first.

Build #1647 11.5.26

• Sign in with YouTube now asks you to sign into Planigator first.

Build #1646 11.5.26

• I stopped keeping a visit log and a live count of who is on the site, and I updated the privacy page to match.

Build #1645 11.5.26

• I evened the space under the left map buttons with the space under the right ones.

Build #1644 11.5.26

• I made the miles and town chips on the left of the map the same height as the time and ETA chips on the right so the space under the rails matches.

Build #1643 11.5.26

• I put Conditions on the right of the map above the compass. Weather, Wind and Elevation open toward the map.

Build #1642 11.5.26

• I fixed Plan for a trip that crosses time zones so it works again after a leftover clock bug.

Build #1641 11.5.26

• I fixed Leave now so opening a saved plan and Recalculate both start the Plan from the current time.

Build #1640 11.5.26

• I fixed Leave now so Recalculate and the Plan clocks start from the real time.

Build #1639 11.5.26

• I fixed Leave now so the Plan clocks keep up with the real time.

Build #1638 11.5.26

• I fixed the map Chat panel so it opens next to the Chat button again.

Build #1637 11.5.26

• I simplified planning around your driving preferences: Day start and Day end, hours you'll drive and work, the automatic 30-minute break, and Off-duty delays.
• I removed the separate log and clock tools. Plans now assume a fresh clock; use your truck's real ELD for legal records.

Build #1636 11.5.26

• I put the site back to how it was early this morning before today's later updates.

Build #1632 11.5.26

• I made the town name list load only when Planigator needs it, so the first open has less to download.

Build #1630 11.4.26

• I fixed miles ahead on Detours places when your route passes the same spot twice, like going out and coming back the same way. A place you are about to pass now shows the few miles to it, not the miles to the later time you pass it, and miles off the route comes from that same pass.

Build #1629 11.4.26

• I gave any map button with its menu open, like Conditions or Voice, the same green ring while it is open. The ring goes away when it closes.

Build #1628 11.4.26

• I brought back the green ring on the map zoom button you are using, Hands-free zoom or Follow me, so only the active one is ringed.

Build #1627 11.4.26

• I made the line from a stop name on the map start at the right side of the name instead of its middle, so you can see the line run out to where the stop really is.

Build #1626 11.4.26

• I made Conditions open Weather, Wind and Elevation in a row to its right, the same way Voice opens, so the buttons on the left side stay put. Tap Conditions again, or tap anywhere else, to close it.

Build #1625 11.4.26

• I turned the map's weather, wind and elevation button into one Conditions button. Tap it to show Weather, Wind and Elevation as their own buttons, and tap Conditions again to hide them.

Build #1624 11.4.26

• I moved your + Later list onto your own device, separate for each account. The first time you open the site, I bring your saved videos down to your device and then delete the copy on my server.
• I no longer save + Later on my server at all. Deleting your account erases it from your device too.

Build #1623 11.4.26

• I made the YouTube tab remember your feed, playlists, subscriptions and liked videos on your own device, for each account, so a reload or signing back in does not load them all again. Refresh still gets fresh lists.
• I keep that copy only on your device. Sign out on the YouTube tab, or deleting your account, erases it.

Build #1622 11.4.26

• I made Grok Bot pairing stricter: after 2 wrong pairing codes in an hour, I make you wait before trying again. A right code always works.

Build #1621 11.4.26

• I took the hourly limits and the recording size cap off voice typing. You still need to be signed in.
• I made server voice typing (the default choice in Settings) cost 1 credit per use. If it hears nothing, I give the credit back. Phone and Grok with your own xAI key cost no credits.

Build #1620 11.4.26

• I now date each page in the sitemap by when that page last changed, so search engines know what is fresh.

Build #1619 11.4.26

• I made the home page load faster. The example trip, voice clips, animal icons and the stop paste reader now load only when you use them.
• I wait for your first tap, key or mouse move before loading the demo video and Google sign-in on the home page, so the page opens with much less to download.

Build #1618 11.4.26

• I switched YouTube tab search to a new access key so searches keep working.

Build #1617 11.4.26

• I added Voice typing to the Settings tab. You pick Phone (the speech recognition built into your phone), my built-in server speech-to-text (the default), or Grok with your own xAI account.
• For Grok, you paste your own xAI API key once. I keep it encrypted, never show it back, use it only for your voice typing, and you can delete it anytime. xAI bills your own xAI account.
• I updated the manual, privacy, terms and support pages to match.

Build #1616 11.4.26

• Connect Grok Bot on the Account tab works again for every signed-in member, and the map Chat button shows once your bot is connected.
• I made pairing safer: pairing codes work once, I limit how many pairing tries and messages can come in each hour, and your bot's reply address has to be a normal public https web address.
• I updated the manual and privacy page to match.

Build #1615 11.4.26

• Changing any delay no longer sets your later delays back to 0. I plan the trip again from that point on: auto delays are worked out again from the new times, delays you set by hand keep your numbers with Auto delay on or off, and off duty and load delays stay and move with the plan.
• I updated the manual to match.

Build #1614 11.4.26

• Auto delay now works out each leg's delay from the leg's full drive time, rounded once, and spreads it over the leg's drive chips, so a long leg cut into several drives no longer picks up extra minutes from rounding every chip.

Build #1613 11.4.26

• Every part of the app now updates together with each new build, so no piece of an older version can stick around on your phone.

Build #1612 11.4.26

• The app now keeps its files on your phone between opens, so it downloads much less each time and opens faster on weak signal.

Build #1611 11.4.26

• I now limit how many brand new visitor sessions one network can start in an hour, which keeps bots from filling up my server.

Build #1610 11.4.26

• Voice typing now needs you to be signed in, and it has an hourly limit so it stays fast and fair for everyone.

Build #1609 11.4.26

• Each account now has the same hourly limits as one phone, which keeps spam down.

Build #1608 11.4.26

• Map stop numbers now match the Plan list, so stops I finished or skipped and my starting point no longer count.

Build #1607 11.4.26

• My private tools now load only for my own signed in account, and those files are no longer public.

Build #1606 11.4.26

• When I press Calculate, the page now stays put, so the button and its status line stay in view.

Build #1605 11.4.26

• The Auto recalculate setting now says it waits for a good GPS fix and stops once I am out of credits.

Build #1603 11.4.26

• If my phone cannot keep the screen on while I drive, I see a short note, and the next tap on the map tries again.

Build #1600 11.4.26

• Auto recalculate now skips a rough GPS fix, like under an overpass, so it only recalculates when you really left the route. Each automatic recalculate still uses one credit like tapping Recalculate, and when you run out of credits it shows the out of credits message once and stops until you have credits again.

Build #1599 11.4.26

• I made the time zone near a time zone line more careful. Your plan now uses your phone's time zone only when you are within about 10 miles of a zone line and your phone's zone is one of the zones there. If your phone is set to a different zone, like your home terminal's, the plan goes by where you really are.

Build #1598 11.4.26

• I gave everyone Auto recalculate on the Settings tab. It starts off. When you turn it on during navigation and you get farther off the route than you picked under How far off the route, I recalculate for you, waiting at least the time you picked under Wait between recalculates. Each automatic recalculate uses one HERE^© call, the same as tapping Recalculate.

Build #1597 11.4.26

• I took the green ring off the Satellite and Street map button and the Trip zoom button on the map, and the voice button now just says Voice instead of the name of the voice you picked.

Build #1596 11.3.26

• I fixed the plan reading the wrong time zone near a time zone line. Your plan now uses your phone's time zone where you are, so your rest ends at your Day start and you no longer see a short extra Part 1 drive at the start.

Build #1595 11.3.26

• I fixed the plan using the wrong time zone when you are partway through a drive, so your rest and your next drive now use the zone you are actually in, and your day starts at your Day start there.

Build #1594 11.3.26

• I fixed the plan starting your day in the wrong time zone when the trip starts from your current location, so your day now starts at your Day start in the zone you are actually in.

Build #1593 11.3.26

• The YouTube tab is quicker again. Subscriptions still shows all of them, and coming back to the site picks up where you left off instead of reloading.

Build #1592 11.3.26

• Your YouTube Subscriptions, Playlists, Liked and Watch Later lists now show everything, not just the first 50.

Build #1591 11.3.26

• I took the pop-up off Reset off duty delays. Tap it once and it says Tap again to reset for about 3 seconds, then tap again to set your off duty delays back to 0.

Build #1584 11.2.26

• I added an Off duty before driving box to every drive so you can wait before you roll on any leg, and I renamed the other box Off duty after driving.

Build #1583 11.2.26

• I fixed the Off duty before driving label switching names after you spin its wheel.

Build #1582 11.2.26

• I made the Off duty before driving label wrap onto two lines so it fits like the other delay labels, and the lock no longer covers min.

Build #1581 11.2.26

• I added a Reset off duty delays button on the Plan tab, under Apply active auto delays. It sets every off duty delay on your trip back to 0, including Off duty before driving. Drive and stop delays stay as they are.

Build #1580 11.2.26

• I made leeway after your last stop end at your Day end, with Off-duty/Sleeper Berth starting from there. Before, leeway could run on until the stop window closed.

Build #1578 11.2.26

• When a drive is split at a time zone line, Drive (Part 1) now has its own Off duty before driving box. Set it and that off duty time comes right before the drive rolls, like a wait at 5:30 AM before you leave, and it comes out of your leeway later in the day. The Off-duty delay box on the last part still works the same. Plans with nothing set come out exactly the same.

Build #1577 11.2.26

• I fixed the Workday done and Over 12 hr workday labels so they update right away when you change a delay. Before, setting a delay back could leave the old label showing. Plans come out exactly the same.

Build #1576 11.2.26

• I fixed the end of the day when your last stop finishes right at your work limit. The plan used to show leeway after it. Now it shows your rest labeled Workday done, the same as when a delay takes you over. Other plans come out exactly the same.

Build #1575 11.2.26

• I fixed where Arrive latest puts your leeway. When a stop is set to Anytime, like a fuel stop, the plan no longer leaves an hour of leeway sitting after it before your next drive. That waiting now comes before you leave, so you go straight from the stop to your next one. Arrive earliest plans come out exactly the same.

Build #1574 11.2.26

• I reworded the YouTube note again. It now says the site only shows your feed and your lists to you right on your phone, I can't see any of it, and YouTube doesn't send watch history either. The Privacy page says the same.

Build #1573 11.2.26

• I fixed stops that run past your workday. When a delay at a stop takes you over your work hours, the plan now finishes the stop first and starts Off duty after it, and the Off duty says how far over you went, like Over 12 hr workday by 7 min. Your next day still starts at Day start, or after a full 10 hours if that is later. When your workday ends right at the limit, it now says Workday done instead of a warning.

Build #1572 11.2.26

• I reworded the YouTube note. It now says activity doesn't include your watch history, the site only shows your feed and your lists to you right on your phone, and I can't see any of it. The Privacy page says the same.

Build #1571 11.2.26

• I added a short note on the YouTube tab right above the sign in button. Google's screen says I can view your YouTube activity, so the note explains I can't see your watch history and only use it to show your feed and your lists. The Privacy page says the same.

Build #1570 11.2.26

• I fixed Arrive latest plans that cross into a new time zone. Your next day now starts at your Day start, any spare time comes before you leave instead of at the dock, your stop finishes before Day end with Off duty after it, and each Part of a drive split at a zone line shows its own drive delay.

Build #1569 11.2.26

• When a drive crosses into a new time zone, the plan now splits it at the line so you can see when you change zones.

Build #1568 11.2.26

• When a trip crosses into an earlier time zone after your day has started, the plan now keeps driving with no wait.

Build #1567 11.2.26

• I fixed a long rest that was wrongly added when a trip crosses into an earlier time zone before your Day start. Now the plan waits for Day start there and keeps driving.

Build #1566 11.2.26

• I updated the privacy page to name every Google map search I use, including the paid Google place search, and what each one gets.

Build #1565 11.2.26

• I added a line to the privacy page about the backup map search that helps find a place when the other lookups come up empty.

Build #1564 11.2.26

• I made the site start up a little faster.
• I added two outside services to the privacy page: the one that finds the town name near the center of the map when you search, and the one that turns your dictation into words.
• I added a line to the terms and privacy page that Planigator is made for adult drivers 18 and older.
• I improved how the manual, support and release notes pages show up in search results.
