What's New in DashTag Maps
1.13.0
July 30, 2026
Big update to navigation, drives, and location sharing. NAVIGATION • A next-stop ETA bar keeps your very next stop front and center, replacing the whole-route banner. • A new navigation stops drawer shows each stop's ETA and lets you add or remove stops, see who can see you, and end the route. • Choose your route style — fastest, standard, curvy, or scenic — and avoid highways or tolls. • Resuming navigation opens your route steps first, so you can add your current location or skip stops you've already passed instead of routing back to the start. • Fit-to-route now frames your entire remaining drive while you navigate. DRIVES • Create a standalone drive with your own join policy, share it by QR code or a rotating drive code, and extend the session on the fly. • Approve who joins with a host roster and shareable grant links — pending joiners wait for your OK before they can see the drive or share their location. • Join a drive with a 6-digit code: preview the route and event on the map, then start turn-by-turn in one tap. Drive links (thedashtag.com/d/…) open right in the app too. • Leave a group drive anytime — stepping out no longer ends it for everyone, so you can hop into a different session. • Drive sessions now use an optional "End Session at" time instead of a fixed duration, and no longer end on their own after a few hours. LOCATION SHARING • Share your location scoped to a specific event, filter who you see on the map, and switch which car you're driving on the fly. • A "Who can see you?" audience picker — Everyone at the event, Friends only, or Inner circle — changeable while sharing, with auto-share to friends when you join a drive. • A stepped "Share your location" flow (how to share → pick event → who can see you), plus a top-nav location-sharing status icon. MAP • A cleaner map while you drive: all layers (events, people, vehicles, sightings, shops) on by default with labels off, plus quick controls to show fellow drivers for this event, your drive, or everyone. • See nearby shops on the map by default — tap a pin for details. ALSO • Manage your account without leaving the app — update your name, username, phone, email, and security settings from the More menu. FIXES & POLISH • Event dates on the map now read like "Sun, Sep 6 at 5:00 PM" instead of a raw timestamp. • The "Who can see you?" row correctly shows "Not sharing" or "Paused" and reflects your live audience; the drive-session sheet is cleaner and scrolls so nothing clips. • Tapping "Share location" opens the sharing sheet instead of immediately sharing, and shared route links no longer include your current location. • The vehicle picker no longer lists sold vehicles, and join-by-code previews show route stats again. • The drive HUD and sharing pill are clearer, long event names stay on screen, and shop pins show as a clean circular logo. • Plus behind-the-scenes reliability improvements and new crash reporting.
