September 22, 2022

As some of you have already discovered, a new September update of Organic Maps is already available in AppStore, AppGallery, and F-Droid. Google Play update is delayed because we hot-fixed a few interface-related issues. Hopefully, it will also be available in the upcoming days!

The coolest change is a fresh new look for Android (kudos to Arnaud Vergnet and all other contributors!), but let's check the full list of changes (and don’t forget to support us in many ways, including donations):

• New OSM maps data as of September 12
• Fixed wrong elevation data between -1,-1 and 1,1 latitudes and longitudes
• Fixed crash on startup after editing some OSM objects

• Improved displaying of the next street name directions

Search:

• Show features in the viewport at the top of search results
• Significantly speedup some search scenarios
• Improved category ranking & address search.
• Fixed highlighted hotel search results icon on the map
• Improved German category search

Android:

• Replaced bottom toolbar with buttons for better UX and map visibility (now you see more map than before!)
• Improved toolbars, buttons and their positioning in different modes (please report any misalignment, we’ll fix it!)
• Fixed "gray location arrow" when device's time is incorrect (it’s better to sync your device’s time with network servers)
• Splash screen respects the dark mode
• Themed icon for Android 13
• Fixed displaying hotel rating in search results
• Fixed Search dialog appearance animation
