What's New in the Latest Version 1.9
Last updated on Jan 17, 2024
Old Versions
- The "directions" feature to get a route from A to B allows to define start (A) and destination (B) in any order now (before you always had to define the destination first)
- The "tile server" feature allows to export the server configuration as MapSource file now.
- Now, the App can also read "folders" defined in KML files. So when importing a KML file with multiple folders of places, the App is able to create corresponding folders in its own list of places and put the imported places there. However you can still import all the places into already existing folders. The App asks for the destination when importing KML files, so pick "Create new list" if you want to allow the creation of new folders.
- The KML import supports "routes" which are defined through a list of place marks.
- The new version does also sync custom POI categories including their icon which were defined while saving/editing places/locations (in case iCloud sync is enabled).
- Now, the App also runs on Macs with Apple Silicon processors. Because of a bug within the macOS this did not work before without crashes.
- The "tile server" feature allows to export the server configuration as MapSource file now.

- The App can now also calculate routes/directions between two random locations, in the past the start locations was always the current location of the user.
- Bugfix: When sharing a contact to the App the Sharesheet of Wigemo did not show the actual coordinates of the address in the preview (though saving the address did work correctly, including the coordinates)
- Bugfix: The compass in the dynamic island was slightly too big since iOS 16.2, so the top and bottom border was cut off.

- Since iOS 16 you can also use the "Look around" feature directly within the App. Activate this feature from within the menu of a location or place.

- The App also supports the "muted" standard Apple map style. This map style uses less saturated colors and less contrast, so that all the additional information (pins) stands out more.
- The App is now able to create and store routes (paths from A to B). You can create routes completely manually, but also import these from GPX or KML files (which include routes or tracks), or use the directions feature which shows a route from the current location to a saved location of place.
- The App icon on the homepage has a new menu (when long-pressed) which allows to launch the App and directly activate certain features.
- The notifications feature which notifies you when you approach certain locations is now able to filter by visited state.
- The App is now using a separate menu for map overlays (if available), so these can be enabled/disabled much easier.

- The search can be optional restricted to the visible map region now.
- Abbreviated PlusCodes which include the name of a town or region are now supported as well for the search feature.
- While importing locations and places from files, images and contacts it is now possible to directly create new lists and also change the default lists form future imports. It's no longer necessary to do this in the location list window or in the settings.
- Improved performance when using the Apple map styles and any of the additional configured raster maps when a huge number of pins with photos are shown on the map at the same time.
- Bugfix: Fixes an issue when changing the max/min zoom for raster map servers, which falsely change the name as well.
