Release Notes

The latest version listed here may not be available in the app store yet.

Version 2.7

AB Contact Map 2.7 fixes some minor bugs and improves address book imports, especially for background changes like iCloud synchronization.

User Interface improvements:

  • The addresses on a contact’s info page are now sorted in the same order as in Apple’s Contacts app.

  • The search bar above the people / marked points lists is now always visible and does not scroll with the table anymore. It’s clear button is no longer under the table’s index. (Search bars are only available for extension pack customers.)

App Integration (extension pack required):

  • MotionX GPS Drive / MotionX GPS Drive HD added to the list of supported navigation / routing apps.

Version 2.6

Improved address location lookup:

  • If multiple contacts share the same address, it will be queried only once.

  • If Google’s request limit has been reached any pending lookups get cancelled and an alert will be shown.

For customers of the extension pack:

  • The search bars remember the entered text.

  • The “Mark All Red” / “Mark All Green” / “Select All” / “Clear All” Toolbar buttons only affect the contacts matching the search bar text.


Version 2.5

New in this version:

  • iOS 5 compatibility.

  • Verbose pin labels. If enabled the title contains the person’s and the company’s name and the address in the subtitle is prepended by it’s type.

The following new features require the extension pack:

  • More pin colors. You can choose from 8 pin colors. Since this breaks the simplicity of the user interface it is not enabled by default.

  • The lists of contacts and marked points are now searchable.

  • Marked points (dropped pins) get exported / imported into a csv file which is accessible via iTunes file sharing. If you want to modify this file make sure that AB Contact Map is not running in the foreground.
