Route manipulation through selection of point of interest on map
It is possible to enter route destinations, waypoints and origin by
choosing a point of interest on a map. That way the route can be constructed
interactively through the map. -
Use scrollable panel when showing data regarding points of interest
On smaller phones, panel showing point of interest information could
be larger than can be fit on the screen. Changes were done to drop
non-essential information if it does not fit and, if still needed,
allow to scroll the remaining options. -
Show remaining distance and time to the upcoming waypoint on the main screen
While navigating, show remaining distance, time, and estimated time
of arrival to the upcoming waypoint or destination. To see overall
remaining time, distance, ETA, see navigation page. That page also
includes the same data for all remaining destinations and waypoints. -
Keep track on arrivals to intermediate waypoints
When passing through intermediate destinations and waypoints, record
arrival times and keep them. The record is cleared on restart of
application or when user edits or clears the route. The information
on passed destinations and waypoints is kept while rerouting. The
arrival information is shown together with the upcoming locations
and maneuvers in navigation overview page. -

Quick route calculation through selection of point of interest
When choosing a point of interest on a map, Pure Maps will request
new route as soon as routing button is pressed on the overlay. -
Allow to edit route
With the calculated route, you can now adjust options, waypoints
later. With the route shown on the map, triggering routing icon will
open a routing page with the parameters used to calculate the route
earlier. To start afresh, remove the route first on the map. Changes
in routing page include removal of automatic triggering of routing
calculations as soon as destination is filled. For automatic route
calculations, use point of interest selection on map. -

Add support for routing waypoints order optimization
All routers now can optimize the order of waypoints. This option is available as there are at least two waypoints or intermediate
destinations between origin and the target of the route. The origin and the target are excluded from the optimization. For example,
you could set the origin and the target to the same location and put all destinations that you wish to visit in arbitrary order as
intermediate destination. The router will calculate the optimal path and will be also able to update the order as needed in the
case of rerouting. -
Navigation overview page adjustments
-
Allow to see more routes from history
It is possible now to access more routes from the history on request. -
Adjust basemap selector
Basemap type selector has been rewritten for to support small and large screens better as well landscape/portrait orientations. -
Handle type and name separately in nearby search
In nearby search, or places search, POI type and name are now handled separately. Not all providers distinguish them properly,
but it is at least possible to specify intention in the application. -
Improve MapQuest nearby search support
MapQuest support has been improved by adding autocomplete for POI type selection. -

Add support for intermediate destinations and waypoints
You can now add multiple locations between origin and target for
routing. The locations are considered either as intermediate
destinations (the ones you want surely to reach) or waypoints (used
to shape the route according to your preference but not important as
such). All supported routers have been updated to support
intermediate destinations and waypoints. -

Show close consecutive maneuvers
When two maneuvers are close to each other, the second maneuver will be indicated under the first one while approaching the first one. This allows you to prepare for the second maneuver in time.
-
Show roundabout exit number for supported routers
Roundabout exit number is indicated on the roundabout maneuver icon for the routers that provide this information. Currently, it is for Valhalla-based services (OSM Scout Server and Stadia Maps) and OSRM.

Autohide buttons by default for new users
To reduce number of controls shown by the application, automatically hide the buttons after some period of inactivity. This change is applied for the new users to avoid changing preferences of the existing users. As before, the behavior can be adjusted in Preferences.
-
Reduce vertical requirements of navigation overview bar
The height of the bottom bar shown during navigation has been reduced. This is expected to be of importance in landscape and especially for devices with relatively small vertical space in landscape. Examples include devices running Phosh with the interface imposing system bars on the top and bottom of the screen as well as smaller screen devices, such as Sony XZ2 compact. In landscape, the current street is shown as a part of the bottom bar (when using OSM Scout Server map matching).
-
Handle arrival to destination by switching to dedicated mode
On arrival to the destination, the application is switched into the mode that is similar to the "follow me" mode. The difference is that it is using top projection of the map to simplify orientation around destination. When compared to the previous release, navigation mode is kept leaving device screen on by default as well as the zoom level is the same as for navigation.

Change DBus registration order

Rewrite navigation guidance
Module responsible for navigation guidance has been rewritten. This
includes matching current location and direction of movement to the
route, generation of maneuver instructions, and tracking of the
progress. As user-visible changes, Pure Maps now shows distance to
route when away from it, keeps track on whether movement is along
the route or in opposite direction and requests rerouting in the
latter case. -
Navigation direction is preferred for orienting the map if moving
along the route. -
Switch off navigation mode on reaching destination
This is made to simplify orientation on reaching destination,
avoiding rerouting while searching for parking places. -
[kirigami,qtcontrols] Support inhibition of screensaver on
Freedesktop compliant environmentsPure Maps can now inhibit screensaver during navigation in such
Linux environments as Plasma Mobile and Phosh. Users of these
environments can now also setup their preferences under Device
section in Preferences. -
Support for external control by DBus
With an eye on connection to smart watches and voice commands, Pure
Maps allows now to start and stop navigation using DBus. Current
state of navigation is available as properties on DBus. API is
documented in README to simplify the development of such extensions. -

Switch to C++ main
Starting from this version, Pure Maps is hybrid C++/QML/PyOtherSide application. This will allow to use the strengths of each of the frameworks and combine them. There have been significant changes in the code to make it possible and in the build system. Note that Pure Maps is distributed now as an executable which will depend on the host architecture and does not rely on external programs for execution (qmlrunner, sailfish-qml).

Prevent voice navigation stopping other audio [research by Karry]
@Karry has found a way to prevent navigation instructions stopping the other audio streams (music, radio) for his OSM Scout. The same approach has been used for Pure Maps.
-
Allow to reverse GPX track
Routing along GPX (providers GPX and GPX Smart) allow to reverse direction of loaded track.
-
Refactor command line and DBus handling
Command line and DBus support have been moved to C++. Using command line, it is possible now to start Pure Maps with
geo:
URI or with a search string. The latter will initiate the search for POIs using the geocoder. DBus supports showing POI and search handling as well. Pure Maps is running as a single-instance. This allows you to start it and when you callpure-maps
(orharbour-pure-maps
on SFOS) with the arguments, the request will be forwarded to the running instance. -
Allow to specify default service providers
As requested by packagers, Pure Maps allows to specify the default providers during a build. This allows to package Pure Maps by setting the default providers for maps, search, and routing to the ones that do not require API keys. Current limitation is that there is no online map provider which would provide fonts for display on a map that does not require API keys.
