Android 5 support, OSM login, bookmarks export, and some other fixes are already in review, as the CarPlay for iOS. Please be patient, or install the latest betas.
To import bookmarks from MapsMe and other apps which support KML/KMZ on Android, open Bookmarks menu from the bottom toolbar and press Import button.

Automated import from iOS is not technically possible, so here is a small guide

There are already many requests from users to add public transport support. It would be great to start using that existing OpenStreetMap data and add/update transport schedules directly from the app. For anyone interested to volunteer, there is also a good starting point here: docs/EXPERIMENTAL_PUBLIC_TRANSPORT_SUPPORT.md

🚗 iOS update with a (finally!) working CarPlay is live. Happy driving!
