Maps for OSM

October 24, 2024

Map tiles can now be preloaded to a connected watch in the preload area.

October 20, 2024

From now on there is a watch app available. With this app you can see your current position, direction, altitude and heart rate. Zooming in and out is possible, but no scrolling. You can record a track with start, pause, resume and save the track to your phone. You will need a phone in reach for loading map tiles (via phone) and save a recorded track on your phone, but not for tracking itself. Preloading tiles from the phone will be available in a next version.

Fixes for showing altitude, up and down distance Fix for camera when rotating view Simplified status view Simplified preferences (min. altitude diff is 5m now in accordance with usual gps deviation) Tracks show trackpoint number Track distances can be recalculated now (e.g. after editing the track in the desktop app)

Restoring from a zip file has been fixed (adapted to the current policy for opening files).

August 27, 2024

Small fixes (background color, jump to location coordinate). Now this app can be used together with the Maps for OSM app on macOS®. Data can be exchanged via iCloud or backup file. Tracks can be edited there.

August 5, 2024

The minimal IOS version is 16.0 now to allow for older devices. Design has been adjusted to better allow for dark mode. Track images have been added in the detail view.

July 25, 2024

GPX export now possible from track detail view. Please note, that iCloud synchronisation does not happen automatically any more to avoid unwanted changes.

July 18, 2024

The navigation between views has been rewritten to a hierarchical structure. The design and navigation has changed to a general dark view. Menu bars have been reordered to fit on all devices. Search has several options now. All settings have been concentrated in one menu with submenus. Preloading map tiles shows better amount of tiles to load. A log has been added for several levels. Help has been relocated to the web site: https://en.elbe5.de/openstreetmapmaps/mapsforosmiosapp.html Some bug fixes.

Small visual changes (icons don't overlap titles) All dates are in local time now If you add an image without GPS data to a place, the image gets the place's coordinates as GPS data. This may be helpful for imported images from cameras without GPS. The images can afterwards be exported with these GPS data.

Photos are also internally stored with GPS and EXIF information. On export they are copied without modifications to Files/Maps for OSM/media. From there they can stiil be copied to Photos. Thus the removal of GPS data on export from Photos can be avoided.
