Nightly build.

What's changed in 0.4.1970

  • Much less battery on an idle map, and downloaded regions can no longer vanish after a crash
  • The navigation arrow and icons stay smooth and 3D when you pan or rotate the map during a drive
  • Weekly old-Android smoke test, and stop writing 403 bodies into the reach snapshot [skip ci]
  • The car, UFO, pirate ship and rubber duck navigation icons are 3D
  • Transit gets the route picker's header, fewer transfers and less walking options, and how often each trip runs
  • Airports draw dark on the dark map, and the transit tab frames the whole trip
  • Transit stop lists on looping routes start at the departure you tapped
  • Cells bake backs off for minutes when an upload is refused by the API rate limit
  • The building overlay gate stays quiet during a drive
  • An imminent turn prompt keeps its priority while the far ones yield to the map
  • Smoother first seconds of a drive: the voice yields the CPU to the map, no Google pages load behind the drive, and the road features file is read while the route is being chosen
  • Fix the app failing to start on Android 14 and search showing nothing on Android 16
  • The map can be light under a dark app or the reverse, and the mini map's trip figures wear the turn card's color
  • Nav voice follows the guidance language, heads-up cards dismiss themselves, downloaded pieces update, and the web proxy is on for everyone
  • Cells bake waits out GitHub's hourly API limit instead of losing finished states
  • Cells bake: a region too large for one release gets coarser cells, and ocean tiles are skipped
  • Neighboring downloaded pieces draw as one places map, and a whole-region download replaces its pieces
  • Download just the part of a region under the area picker's frame
  • Reroutes over a downloaded region answer from the phone first, and transit directions come from Transitous when Google is off
  • Side streets around cameras are tried on every route that passes them, under one request budget
  • The full reviews page says when Google is limiting the session, and the translation check stops listing the British file
  • Saved pins grow to the size of the place icons beside them
  • Every language gets the new area picker, request counter, SD card and Maps links strings
  • Brazilian Portuguese in the language picker, beside European Portuguese
  • Portuguese (Brazil) translation
