Additional changes

The structure of the app has also changed. The "Favorites" tab has been replaced by the "Overview"
tab. Your existing favorites were transferred to a collection and can now be found in the
overview tab under the pinned profiles section.

The tab bar at the bottom of the screen is now permanently visible, allowing for easier switching
between the main views of the app.

Some tabs now have their own tab bar. If available, this is located in the top area of the screen.
For example, the "Overview" tab has two sub-tabs called "Pin" and "Track". The newly named "Routes"
tab, next to it, is divided into the sub-tabs "Navigate" and "Record".

You can also quickly access all sub-tabs from other parts of the app. To do this, focus on the corresponding
tab at the bottom of the screen and perform a long click or swipe through the Talkback actions.
