Updates

The latest version of the OS Maps App includes a number of new features and improvements, including:

• Recommended routes: We have updated some of our terminology: “Trusted Routes” are now called “Recommended Routes”. These routes are still the best way to get around, but we have made some changes to the way they are calculated to make them even more accurate and reliable.
• Improved search: We have made it easier to find what you are looking for with a new and improved search bar. You can now search for places, routes, and features by name or by keyword.
• New map styles: We have added two new map styles: “Hybrid” and “Dark”. Hybrid mode combines satellite imagery with vector data to create a more detailed and realistic view of the landscape. Dark mode is designed to be easier on the eyes in low-light conditions.
• Bug fixes and performance improvements: We have fixed a number of bugs and improved the performance of the app overall.
