New first-launch tutorial walks you through every tab.
Geology basemap now selectable directly from the Layers sheet, with the tap-to-identify pinpoint and rock-unit legend always available when geology is on.
Offline source cards redesigned with per-source brand colors and uniform formatting.
Smarter offline downloader — automatically skips tiles already in the built-in bundle so you only download truly new coverage.
Many performance and reliability fixes throughout the mapping system.
