4.1.4 / 286 (26-10-2026)
- Added: WMTS maps in other projections than Web Mercator, such as the Polish Geoportal (EPSG:2180), are converted on the device.
- Added: WMS maps in the server's own coordinate system, such as the Estonian Land Board (EPSG:3301), are converted on the device.
- Added: Tile maps in other projections: Yandex, national grids (TMS), and the Chinese services Gaode, Tencent and Baidu, which now line up with GPS positions. The projection is chosen from the server's address where it is known.
- Improved: WMS maps are no longer requested at scales their layer isn't drawn at, and a server's error is shown once.
- Added: The segments of a track can be sorted and renamed.
- Added: An existing track can be added to another track as a new segment, at the end or between segments.
- Fixed: WMTS maps with named zoom levels, or with key-value requests only, showed no tiles.
- Fixed: WMS maps in Web Mercator (EPSG:3857) showed no or misplaced tiles.
- Fixed: Merging tracks lost their turn instructions and waypoint folders.
- Improved: Generated raster maps and atlases are saved much smaller.
- Improved: "Save as track" for a track segment asks for the new track's name.
- Fixed: Offline routing could choose a longer route than necessary, mostly with bike and foot profiles (also on the watches).
- Fixed: Offline routing could leave a gap at a start, end or via point near a map data cell border.
- Added: Mapsforge POI files in the new v4 and v5 formats; v5 category names in the app's language.
- Improved: Offline routing profiles and the built-in map styles are updated.
- Fixed: Some map labels could appear cut off or stretched.
- Fixed: Memory leak with MapLibre maps.
