May's update brings full public transport support in Organic Maps a step closer. A bus, train, ferry, or tram stop is a starting point for the transit lines that pass through it — so tapping a route at a stop now shows that line, in its own colour, all the way across the map. Actual online schedules are coming too, don't forget to add/update OSM public transport data in your area if you haven't already! As always, many thanks to our contributors, your good reviews, donations , and support . Get the May update at https://get.omaps.org or on the App Store , Google Play , Huawei AppGallery , Obtainium , Accrescent , and F-Droid . Highlights Tap a bus, tram, train, or ferry stop on the map, and Organic Maps highlights the entire transit line, selectable from the list of displayed lines and routes. Cleaner bookmark labels and a more legible map. New label placement keeps bookmark titles from crowding each other out, pedestrian areas are a touch darker, and route colours have been tuned for better contrast on both light and dark themes. Finer regions across Asia. Vietnam and Malaysia are now split into smaller maps so you can download just the area you need, and Hong Kong, Macau, and Hainan are now separate from Guangdong. Release notes All platforms NEW! Tap a public transport stop and select a route number to highlight the entire transit route on the map, like in the Subway map layer (Viktor Govako, Kiryl Kaveryn, Mikhail Listratsenka) NEW! Bookmark labels on the map don't overla

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 categor
