What's New

You're on v2.1.1

v2.1.1

7 Oct 2026

Speed limits in towns

Improved
  • The speed limit sign now works on residential and street-lit town roads that have no posted limit in the map data, showing an assumed 30 mph with a dashed ring so you can tell it's a guess
  • Speed cameras and limits now load from our own copy of the OpenStreetMap data instead of a busy public service, so they load fast and reliably
Fixed
  • Reporting a mobile speed camera no longer fails with an error

v2.1.0

7 Oct 2026

Speed camera alerts

New
  • Speed camera alerts: the map now shows fixed speed cameras across the UK and warns you with a banner, a beep or spoken callout, and a buzz a few seconds before you reach one — average-speed cameras are flagged too
  • Speed limit sign: the limit of the road you're on appears beside your speedo, and your speed turns red when you go over it. If the limit isn't known for a road, the sign hides
  • Report a mobile camera: tap Report on the map to flag a mobile speed camera where you are. Everyone nearby gets warned, and reports expire after 2 hours
  • New Cameras filter on the map, and a Speed camera alerts switch in Settings

v2.0.0

6 Oct 2026

Invite only

New
  • CruiseGrid is now invite-only: the only way to sign up is through the invite link or QR code of a driver who's already in — there's no public sign-up page
  • Invite requests: when someone signs up with your link you get a notification, and their account only goes live once you accept them with Face ID or your fingerprint. Decline and the request is deleted
  • Invites unlock at Newcomer rank — find your code and link under Settings → Refer a Friend
  • Joining with an invite code from an admin starts you off with 200 XP
  • Profiles now show who invited each driver, linking back to their profile
  • The app now asks to turn on notifications the first time you reach the map, so invite requests, meet changes and drop reveals reach you even when it's closed. On iPhone, add CruiseGrid to your Home Screen first
  • Level-up alerts: you get a notification and a pop-up when your XP takes you into a new tier
Improved
  • No more plans, subscriptions or payments — everyone gets everything: unlimited cars and races, hosting Public and Drop Meets with no RSVP cap, meet analytics, nearby-driver broadcasts, and claiming POIs
  • The welcome screen after signing up is simpler now that there are no plans to pick
  • The iPhone install tip on the first screen now explains that adding CruiseGrid to your Home Screen is needed for notifications
  • If notifications can't be turned on, the app now tells you why instead of failing silently

v1.2.0

5 Oct 2026

Laps, lock and a new look

New
  • Circuit tracks now support laps: set a default lap count when you build one, pick how many laps when you start a run, and the app counts each pass through the start line, showing your lap, last lap and best lap live
  • Lap leaderboards: each lap count has its own board, and every entry shows the driver's best lap
  • App lock: Face ID or your fingerprint is now required every time you open the app, on phones and tablets that support it
  • Official announcements from CruiseGrid now arrive in your Messages, with a push notification
Improved
  • New app icon, launch screen and Welcome screen
  • App accent colours now unlock with XP — Cyan is free, the rest are earned (see the XP guide)

Your plan, your garage

New
  • Cancel or resume your subscription yourself from the Plans page — you keep your plan until the end of the period you've paid for
  • Choose which of your cars other drivers can see: a Public/Hidden switch on each car in your garage
  • Your public profile now shows your garage (public cars only)
  • Voucher codes can give a percentage off for a set number of months, such as 50% off for 3 months
Improved
  • New plan prices: Driver Pro £4/mo, Organizer Pro £9/mo, Business £11/mo
  • Plans page shows when your plan renews or ends
  • Billing button renamed to "Update card & invoices"

  • Rivals, crew territory, weekly challenges and a monthly season ranking on the new Career page
  • XP system with ten tiers, 1 XP per mile driven, and unlockable map marker colours and car frames
  • Build of the Meet voting and Car of the Week, plus vehicle photos and visual/performance mod lists

  • Customise: change the app accent colour; neon night map; voice callouts

Improved
  • New Menu tab; Profile slimmed down with Stats, Settings and Customise on their own pages
  • Map follows you as you move, with a cleaner HUD and notch/Dynamic Island support
  • Race times now read as minutes and seconds
  • Sensitive data (messages, vehicles, notifications) is encrypted at rest
