4.1.2 / 281 (14-10-2026)
- Fixed: Hillshading on the watch was missing with map styles sent from the phone (Elevate/Elements 5.7); the built-in style now shows its "Hiking" layer instead of all layers at once (WatchOS).
- Fixed: In the waypoint marker settings (bookmarks, waypoints, and the default markers of tracks and overlays), the marker preview followed only the width when the size was changed, not the height.
- Fixed: MBTiles maps with WebP tiles could not be opened.
