# Nestour GPS release notes Every version of Nestour GPS, newest first, from the first line of code on 24 October 2026 up to 0.15.0. 🆕 marks the latest release. ## 🆕 0.15.0 · 5 November 2026 - 🆕 **The beta key.** The beta now needs your personal beta key. Paste it once in Setup → 🔑 Keys & AI → 🎟 Beta key → Save, and the app starts again in the beta. The key is checked on the device, without going online, and ends with the beta on 28 February 2027. - 🆕 **Without a key** the app is a simple GPS: the standard map, your position, the instruments, speed signs, recording a trip, and your data. Searches, place info, planning, routes, turn by turn, other maps, the 3D map and logbook exports say « This needs your beta key ». Your data is never touched: enter the key and everything is back. ## 0.14.0 · 5 November 2026 - **The beta edition**: 10 trips kept, 10 routes, 10 plans and 25 favourites. At a limit the app offers to remove the oldest (it names it) or to see the licences; it never deletes anything on its own. - **App languages in the beta**: English, French, Chinese and Finnish. Descriptions and facts still come in every language. - **Export keys file** waits for a licence; **Import keys file** stays. - **Help → Send feedback** opens the form on nestour.app with the version, platform and language filled in. - **New versions**: once a day the app asks nestour.app whether a new version is out.
