OilTrails 2.2.013 adds Android widgets for quick access to field tools and LSD location lookup.

The latest OilTrails Android release is all about speed and simplicity in the field.
Version 2.2.013 introduces two powerful new home screen widgets, updated visuals with edge-to-edge support, and a round of bug fixes and UI improvements.


New Widgets for Instant Access

We’ve added two customizable widgets that you can place right on your Android home screen.

1. Current Location Widget

This widget displays your real-time LSD, NTS, and GPS coordinates at a glance. It also includes quick-launch shortcuts to:

  • GeoPics – snap and view location-tagged field photos
  • Search – jump directly to the LSD finder inside the app

2. Shortcut-Only Widget

Don’t need location updates on the home screen? This slim widget gives you just the GeoPics and Search shortcuts for faster workflows.

To add a widget:
Long press on your Android home screen > tap “Widgets” > find OilTrails > choose your preferred size and style.


Edge-to-Edge UI Enhancements

OilTrails now supports Android’s edge-to-edge layout system, giving the app a more modern, immersive look.
You’ll notice cleaner spacing, smoother transitions, and a better fit across various screen sizes and display cutouts (including devices with notches or punch-hole cameras).


Other Improvements

This release also includes:

  • Updated frameworks and system libraries for better stability
  • Minor bug fixes and behind-the-scenes optimizations
  • Improved performance on newer Android devices

Why It Matters

Whether you’re checking your LSD coordinates from the truck seat or launching GeoPics to document a site, this update makes it all just a little bit faster.

Widgets are one of the most requested Android features, and we’re excited to make them part of your daily workflow.
