+## What's new
+
+- **Clearer Ground detail help.** The text under **Ground detail** in **Settings** now explains the setting in plain words: it adds a grass and dirt pattern on top of the photos, seen on the ground or when flying low. At 0 % (the default) the ground looks exactly like the photos; higher values add texture up close but make the photos look grainier. The setting itself works as before (#21).
