Now everyone can back up or share all bookmarks and imported tracks as one KMZ file with just one click! And then import everything back from the same file.
Apple users can now edit colors of imported tracks and have a more convenient way of editing bookmarks. And don't forget to check our updated About dialog!
The March update is already available in all app stores. An apk for Android is also [available on our GitHub](https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/releases/) if you want to install the latest Organic Maps version immediately when we publish the release, without any delays caused by slow reviews or publishing. This apk can be installed together with Organic Maps from other app stores! We also plan to add notifications about available GitHub apk updates, similar to what [Obtainium](https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/wiki/Installing-Organic-Maps-from-GitHub-using-Obtanium) already does.
Here is a more detailed list of changes:
* OSM map data as of February 28
* Share/export/backup all bookmarks as a single KMZ file readable by Organic Maps and Google Earth
* Show when drinking water is available 🚰 or not 🚱 when selecting an object
* Show elevation and recycling container types in search results
* Included wheelchair accessibility information on place pages
* Bus stops and platforms now display their number or letter
* The routing options panel is no longer displayed when using the Ruler
* Fixed wrong negative altitude display
* Routing properly ignores roads under construction
Android only:
* Our GitHub ("web") apk now can be installed in parallel to Organic Maps from other app stores
* Fixed import of one or more GPX/KML/KMZ files from File Explorer, GPS Logger, and some other apps
* Move Speed Cam preference into the Voice Instruction preference menu
* Fixed several crashes
* More app tips for the TTS test button
iOS only:
* Track colors can be edited
* Change a bookmark or track color by pressing the color icon in the list
* Easier editing of bookmarks and tracks using the (i) button in the Bookmarks and Tracks dialog
* Redesigned the About dialog
* Fixed several crashes
* Consistent search bars
* Updated the primary app color
* Renamed Night Mode to Appearance as it follows the system setting
* Bottom buttons are better tappable
Style improvements:
* Added Aboriginal Lands
* Made road tunnels more transparent
* Lighter buildings and labels in the Dark style
* Fixed small fonts for islands, bus stations and ferry terminals on detailed zooms
* Fixed inconsistencies in road labels
Our beloved contributors have updated French, Hebrew, Hungarian, Slovak, and Spanish translations.
Did you know we have started building a FAQ section [on our website](https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps.github.io)? You can help to populate and translate it!
We hope you are enjoying Organic Maps (we kindly call it OM) as we are enjoying it. Let's improve OM together! Your [donations](https://organicmaps.app/donate/) and [support](https://organicmaps.app/support-us/) are warmly welcomed! They help to speed up the development, improvements and bugfixes.
