Nightly build.

What's changed in 0.4.2217

  • Hidden downtown offices come back when zoomed right in on their building
  • Low-ranked office dots are hidden in packed downtown blocks
  • Offline search: Gas station no longer lists EV chargers, and names match without their punctuation
  • Panning stays smooth zoomed all the way in on dense city blocks
  • Pauses between spoken phrases follow the voice speed setting
  • Spoken directions start playing while the rest of the line is still being made
  • A name search finds a business's other locations by default
  • A switch to stop the What's new prompt after updates
  • Other locations of a searched business load on a tap, or automatically with a setting
  • Other branches in a name search come with their address, rating and hours
  • Searching a chain's name lists its other branches too
  • Route lines in the route picker are heavier so they stand out from the roads
  • Route lines in the route picker are back to their full width; only the close-up navigation line is narrower
  • The turn card no longer shows the same highway shield twice on an on-ramp
  • Zoomed all the way in on a dense downtown, street names repeat less and the map pans more smoothly
  • Street-name labels in navigation no longer sit on stoplights, stop signs or cameras
  • The simplified map in turns no longer flickers on and off through gentle bends
  • One less stutter every 400 m of a drive where the street names are already Latin
  • Fewer stutters from the building-footprint check while driving and while panning around in a drive
  • The route line no longer stutters the map at the end of a drive or while panning away from the car
  • The blue route line is 15% narrower, so a little road shows on each side
  • The blue route line no longer kinks around small traffic circles on straight streets
  • "Simplify the map in turns" moved to Settings > Performance
  • The blue route line follows the drawn roads and rounds off their gentle bends; place names on the place sheet are regular weight like Google's
  • The mini map's turn card and time strip span the whole window
  • Roundabout directions say the way the route actually goes, and no longer repeat the same roundabout as the next step
  • "Starting navigation" is spoken sooner after Start, even right after the app opens
  • Roads have thin edges and the blue route line has a dark outline, like Google's navigation map; the route line's junction zigzags are smoothed again
  • Search suggestions can be fixed remotely when Google changes them, like search and directions
  • The blue route line stays on the road instead of cutting across medians and curves
  • The blue route line covers the road you drive on, and divided roads draw as two carriageways instead of one wide band
  • Bake: regions too big for one pass are split into strips and joined, so England keeps updating on CI
  • Search without Google finds famous places from a zoomed-out map, and the category shortcuts can fold into one button or hide
  • Vela no longer thinks it is offline after the phone blocks it in the background, and tapping the offline globe checks again
