Field captures — the photos, videos, audio notes and waypoints you record on a ride — have always had two homes: the phone that took them and the server they sync to. Since June, the Library has been smart enough to stream a capture from the server when its local copy is gone, so deleting data to free space no longer dead-ends a session. But you still couldn't say what you actually meant: "keep this, just not on my phone", or "I don't want to see this in my library any more — but don't destroy it".

Today the session view grows three storage actions that say exactly that.

This was the week we stopped trusting the navigation and started measuring it. Real rides, real device logs, and a string of bugs that had been hiding in plain sight — one of them for three months.

We route motorcycles through the Alps. This week we discovered that, as far as the software was concerned, the Alps were not there.

Losing the OSM volunteer tile servers stung. It also settled an argument we had been having with ourselves: a routing platform that cannot render its own map is renting its most visible surface from someone else, on someone else's schedule.

This week we stopped renting.

Riders already carry an action camera. Until now it was a separate device with its own app, its own battery anxiety and its own timeline that never quite lined up with the ride.

Not any more.

No new screens this week. Instead: the data underneath every screen got fresh, and stays fresh, and now tells us when it isn't.

Epona is the Gaulish goddess of horses and riders — the one deity the Roman cavalry adopted wholesale and carried across the empire. Protector of anyone on the move.

It seemed like the right name for the thing in your tank bag.

Some things belong on a phone. Planning a two-week trip across four countries is not one of them. This week was almost entirely the desktop client, and it went from useful to genuinely good.

That is not a rounded number. That is how many mountain-bike trails, routes and trail POIs across Europe are now in the catalogue, extracted from OpenStreetMap, scored, tiled and searchable from the map.

Generated writing has one honest failure mode: it is confidently almost right. The fix is not a better model. It is giving you the pen.
