What's new in SweepTrack 2.0
A redesigned app, offline maps for the US, more ways to mark the field with your group, and steadier GPS tracking.
Version 2.0 (80) for Android, released 15 November 2026.
New
A redesigned app
Every screen was rebuilt as a field instrument: flat panels, readouts with the unit set apart, and nine accent themes, each on a ground tinted with its own colour. The bundled fonts now cover the letters of all 14 languages.
Controls that answer your touch
Taps are felt through your phone's vibration, buttons give under your finger, readouts roll to their new value, and a sweeping coil shows when something is loading. All of it follows Android's animation and touch-vibration settings.
Offline maps for the USPro
Download USGS imagery and USGS topo maps of your fields and use them with no signal. Downloads cover the US only, from map sources whose terms allow it.
Four shared pin types in Radar
Mark a spot for the whole group as Dig, Find, Rally point or Hazard. The type you picked last is kept for the session.
A new start-up animation
The SweepTrack mark is drawn the way the app records a session, and ends on a find ping.
Share cards and permission letter, redesigned
The session and measurement cards and the permission letter PDF now share one clean layout.
Improved
Steadier GPS tracking
The track is recorded from the GPS receiver and follows how you actually move instead of jumping with a stray fix. After a signal gap it picks up where you are, and the app tells you if Power saving has switched GPS off.
The recording HUD shows your units
Distance and speed on the live HUD follow your Imperial or Metric setting, like the rest of the app.
Radar you can rely on
Groups reconnect after a dropped connection, joining tells you why it failed, and an SOS or alert that could not be delivered is shown as such.
Backups
Long backups finish even if you leave the screen, encrypted backups are encrypted as they are written, and a restore tells you anything it skipped.
Your own maps
Imported map images are stored without location data and kept at a sensible size, and you choose which overlay the opacity control adjusts.
Statistics and Finds Intelligence
Statistics were rebuilt, and Finds Intelligence reads your finds once and shows consistent numbers.
Language
The app follows your phone's language and Android's per-app language setting.
Fixed
Finds
Edits and deletes made during a recording are kept when you stop. The gallery plays, shares and zooms properly, photos you share no longer carry their location, and finds gain a share action and the app's own date picker.
Permission Vault
Saved permissions are never wiped, signatures fit any phone, and a generated letter never includes the landowner's stored signature.
Forecast and tides
Pressure is shown at sea level, failures are shown instead of empty tables, times use the place's own time zone, and tide times are shown for the station's location.
Detector presets and waypoints
Your active detector is restored when the app starts, and waypoints gain undo and sorting.
Measure and Perimeter Guard
The app asks before replacing a guard boundary or points you have not saved.
Text fields
Fields no longer cut off what you type.
