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.
## 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 all tracks or bookmarks at once. Change every bookmark and/or track color inside a category in one tap — a small touch that turns last summer's messy trip archive into something you actually want to open.
## Release notes
### All platforms
- NEW! Better search in the USA, with two million additional addresses parsed from TIGER Census data (Viktor Govako)
- NEW! Improved multi-color rendering for hiking and cycling routes; tap a route to select it and view its elevation chart (Viktor Govako)
- OpenStreetMap data updated as of April 4
- Wikipedia data updated as of April 1
- Adjusted elevation gain and loss approximation on track graphs to better match values shown in other apps (Viktor Govako)
- You can now add a new place to OpenStreetMap after selecting your current position on the map (Mikhail Listratsenka)
- Added icons for food courts and city gates (David Martinez)
- Added clothing shop subcategories: women, men, children, wedding, sports, and underwear, plus office types (Viktor Govako)
- Updated search categories: added "Bread" for bakeries, "Shawarma" cuisine, and other synonym improvements (Viktor Govako)
- The map now wraps correctly at the antimeridian (±180° longitude) while dragging and rotating (Alexander Borsuk, Viktor Govako)
- Cycling navigation now uses compass heading at low speeds (HossamSaberr)
- Improved house-number address search (Viktor Govako)
- Fixed a system error when planning routes near some regional borders (Viktor Govako)
