To help you navigate the roads during the flooding disaster, we've rolled out some new features. • New "County Closures" Layer: Get near real-time updates imported straight from the County 511 website. Got questions about a closure? Just contact the person listed on the closure. • Quick Button for "Incidents & County Closures": Easily turn on the DOT’s "Unplanned Traffic Events" and the new "County Closures" layers with one tap. Find it at the bottom of the map.

• Summer Mode Activated! We've updated the default layers. Tap the "Layers" button in the bottom right to customize what you see on the map. • Say buh-bye to Winter! We’ve removed the Winter Driving quick button at the bottom of the app. Don’t worry, it’ll be back when the snow starts falling again. • Search Enhancements: Find drive time and traffic delays under the Directions tab of your search results, when you search from point A to B. • Bugs Begone! We squashed some bugs and made performance tweaks. Enjoy!

• Added the same "Quick Buttons" from the website, to the bottom of the map. Tapping these buttons, will turn off all of your layers and just turn on the layers from the button (e.g. Construction (current and future), cameras, and commercial vehicles). • Want to plan your future trip and avoid construction? We've added the "Future Construction" layer (same as the website) as an option to see construction projects that aren't active yet but are starting within the next 2 weeks. • Said goodbye to the "Winter Mode" default layers and switched to "Summer Mode" default layers. • Fixed a bug introduced with iOS 16.4.1 where if you tapped on an event icon, the map view wouldn't be correct.

We've been listening to your feedback and have another round of usability updates. • Removed the "Where To?" search bar from the main map and moved it to a button on the bottom bar. Tap the Search button to see events along a route, a city, or a trip from point A to point B. • Separated and moved the Legend and Layers to buttons on the bottom bar. Now you can easily view and slide the legend while interacting with the map. • Moved the More button to the top right corner of the map. • Updated the hands-free, eyes-free feature to keep the map centered on your current location while driving.
