A big update this time around.
New on the map: a 6th style — 3D — to help you get your bearings in the bigger cities. And every map style now responds to a two-finger tilt, so you can lean the map back and look off into the distance to see what's ahead.
If you plan with the itinerary, there's a lot here for you:
- Dates are now supported, including multi-night stays in the same town.
- The stage banners at the start and end of each day tell you far more now.
- Notes you add in the online planner come along for the ride — they import straight into the app.
- City pages now show what you've booked, whether it's confirmed, and how you booked it.
- The map can walk you through your itinerary one stage at a time.
And the route page handles those long lists better — it trims itself at your starting point, with an easy tap to bring the earlier places back whenever you want them.
