What's new

  • OpenTopoMap is drawn from the opentopomap.org web style: its colours, patterns and symbols.
  • New profiles start with the OSM style.
  • OSM and CyclOSM icons are larger and smooth, and codes that showed a plain square now have an icon.
  • OSM Liberty Topo takes its icons from OSM Liberty's current set, which covers more kinds of place.
  • Paths are drawn wider in the OSM, OpenTopoMap and OSM Liberty Topo styles.
  • A map credits the elevation sources its cells came from.

What's fixed

  • The built-in styles no longer show an icon or pattern of another meaning.
  • Icons in the built-in styles no longer vanish at night.
  • Parks, pitches, quarries and other areas the built-in styles draw over woods stay over them on the map.
  • The styles and profile screens no longer slow down on every redraw.

Upgrading

Install over the top. On Debian and Ubuntu sudo apt install ./kmap_1.7.7_<arch>.deb; on
other Linux unpack the archive and put kmap on your PATH; on Windows run the installer;
on macOS replace the app. Profiles, styles and cached downloads stay put.
