This April release, in addition to many bug fixes and improvements, is built around three simple truths: hikers want to know how much they'll climb, everyone wants their search address to just work, and no one should feel like they're falling off the edge of the map. Thanks to our contributors, your good reviews, donations, and support, we've tackled all three — and a whole lot more.

Whether spring is pulling you out onto new trails or autumn in the southern hemisphere is calling for one last long ride, we hope this update makes your next trip a little easier and a lot more beautiful.

Get the April update at https://get.omaps.org or on the App Store, Google Play, Huawei AppGallery, Obtainium, Accrescent, and F-Droid.

Highlights

• Tap a trail, see the climb. Hiking and cycling routes are now selectable directly on the map. Tap a route to highlight it and instantly see its elevation profile.
• Two million more US addresses and smarter search. More addresses, parsed from the TIGER Census dataset now live inside the app. In addition to smarter house numbers matching, that improves search results everywhere. Don't forget that adding missing addresses to OpenStreetMap is always the best way to improve the search.
• A map without edges. Organic Maps now wraps smoothly across the antimeridian (±180° longitude). Drag and rotate between Chukotka and Alaska, or New Zealand and Fiji with no invisible walls and no awkward resets — the Pacific finally feels round.
• Repaint a whole category at once. Change every bookmark and/or track color inside a category in one tap — a small touch that turns last summer's messy trip archive into something you actually want to open.
