πŸš‡ MetroMaps v1.6.0 β€” Transit Directions, Metro Turnstile Animations & Map Redesign

MetroMaps v1.6.0! This update introduces full public transit routing support, authentic Windows Phone / Metro 3D UI turnstile animations, redesigned controls, custom map themes, and major performance optimizations.

✨ What's New

πŸš† Public Transit Routing & Maneuvers

  • Transit Mode Navigation: View comprehensive transit itineraries with line names, vehicle icons, transit colors, scheduled departure/arrival times, and transfer guidance.
  • Detailed Step-by-Step Maneuvers: Clean breakdown of transit legs, walking connections, and stop lists directly in the navigation sheet.

🎨 Metro UI Motion & Controls

  • 3D Turnstile Page Transitions: Re-engineered the classic Metro 3D swing turnstile entrance & exit transitions for PivotScreen (left-swinging pivot, snappier 300ms/250ms duration).
  • Animated Application Bar: Added fluid expand/collapse drawer animations and icon reveals in AppBar.
  • Modernized MetroButton & Sliders: Rebuilt buttons and sliders for responsive tactile feedback and authentic Metro typography.

πŸ—ΊοΈ Map Styles & Native Pins

  • Custom Vector Map Themes: Added curated Light and Dark map presets tailored to the Metro aesthetic.
  • Optimized Native Markers: Migrated to native MapView pins, replacing custom projection overlays to ensure 60fps pan/zoom performance and pin alignment.
