Version 0.26 available at OpenRepos.
  • Add OSM Scout Server offline tiles, geocoder, nearby search and router – only listed in Poor Maps if you have OSM Scout Server installed and will only work if the server is running and you have made OpenStreetMap data available for the server (rinigus)
  • Increase download thread count to match CPU core count for localhost (offline) tile servers
  • Increase download timeout for localhost (offline) connections
  • When navigating, make centering and auto-centering on position center the position on the part of the map visible below the navigation narrative, and further, if auto-rotate is on, center lower so that more map is shown ahead than behind (#14)
  • When navigating, auto-rotate to match the route polyline instead of bearing calculated from GPS data, which should make the map rotate faster after a turn (#13)
  • Fix smoothing of maneuver node icons along the route polyline
  • Fix removing an item from search history to not show the removed item in the UI after refiltering

Thanks to rinigus, we have a sensible, modular solution for offline maps in the form of OSM Scout Server. Thanks also to Martin for repeatedly arguing in favor of a modular solution both here and at TJC. You can pester rinigus about how to actually set it up. It's somewhat alpha-quality, but the integration in Poor Maps should be stable, meaning no new releases of Poor Maps should be needed to make use of improvements in the server.
