## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 2.1.0 — 2026-07-02

This update adds major new public-data layers and makes the map easier to explore.

New safety and infrastructure layers:

* Natural Hazard Risk from the FEMA National Risk Index, by county and census tract, plus FEMA flood zones.
* Levee systems with FEMA accreditation context, and National Bridge Inventory bridges color-coded Good, Fair, or Poor — each with tap-to-view detail.
* New "Hazards & Safety" and "Infrastructure" sections in the Area Briefing.

Easier to navigate:
* The Layers tab is now organized into collapsible groups, and Settings is grouped into clear sections.
* Places are color-coded by type, with clearer clusters and icons for food, sights, outdoors, and more. The Area Briefing is interactive — tap a topic to toggle its map layer or show nearby places.

Richer detail:
* Improved rain and snow data, plus new tiles for hot days, freezing days, bright days, humidity, elevation, and population.
* Save places and areas, compare two areas side by side, and ask the AI Assistant to move the map or toggle layers by text or voice.

Also included: refined iPad layouts, clearer Air Quality and Crime cards, improved distance labels, better accessibility, color-blind-friendly palettes, a loading Retry option, and performance and reliability improvements.

### 2.0 — 2026-06-23

This update includes a major rebuild of the map experience. WhereTo now uses a faster map engine with smoother performance, improved layer handling, and new map styles (standard, light, and dark).

The Advisor now opens as a chat panel on the map. Tap "Area Briefing" for an at-a-glance card of the area you're viewing — air quality, safety, climate, yearly weather, nearby data centers, political lean, and more — then ask follow-up questions about it. You can also have it jump to a city, find places, or toggle map layers.

Also in this update:
- New Area Briefing with an at-a-glance report card for any area on the map.
- Optional voice input for asking the Advisor questions.
- New Data Centers map layer for U.S. data center locations.
- More public data layers are now free, including EPA Superfund areas.
