SonicMaps Player Update - Version 2.4.0

What's New

• Info Cards: New option in Editor to add supporting text and images to sound zones. This visual information is displayed as an info-card in the SonicMaps Player when the a walks into a zone.
• Map Styles: Implemented method to set the default map style (i.e. dark, light or sat) using a URL parameter. For example https://sonicmaps.xyz/player/?s=light
• GPS-only Navigation: Added an option to disable remote listening and force on-site GPS navigation. This option prevents a user from listening to a project using the walk simulation mode (person icon).

Fixes/Improvements

• Downloading a project for offline listening is now 95% faster and requires only half of the storage space in your device.
