- Indoor/level mapping support: is it usable? confusing? find indoor areas here https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/2vga - by @zyphlar #4847
- Display Mangrove user reviews in POI info page: does it work well? find reviewed places at https://altilunium.github.io/MangroveViewer/ - by @mmakowski #4907

And a reminder that today is the first date of the State of the Map 2026 event in Paris!
For convenience of all participants we have prepared a page with our recent test build and a bookmarks KML file with all the relevant venue places.
(note that this test build won't update to 260826 maps as it requires special 260824 maps with indoor support and some other changes)

New functionality since the last release and previous TestFlight:

Fixes to pre-existing release issues:

Nice to have fixes in new CarPlay functionality:

Known issue: The dashboard shows a search tile that do not work
