The map answers back. The city map arrived in 0.5.2 and it just sat there — you could look at Black Rock City, but you couldn't tell it anything. Now you can touch it.

New

  • Tap anywhere to aim. Touch a spot on the map and the compass points at it, named by its real address — "Map spot — 4:36 & G". Switch to the arrow and walk there.
  • Hold and drag to place exactly. A tap is fast but coarse. Press and hold for a third of a second and the target lifts off your fingertip so your own hand stops hiding the thing you're placing. Drag until the address reads right, then let go — that's how you pin your camp's actual corner instead of near it.
  • Pinch and pan. Two fingers zoom to 4x, one drags the city under you, and the map stays inside its frame at every zoom.
  • Tap a pin to pick it. Your saved pins, your friends' camps, the Man and the Temple all answer a tap on the map itself — no more hunting the row of chips below, and no more dropping a rival pin beside your own.
  • Your camp is a waypoint. Set your camp address on your card and Home appears on the map without dropping a pin.

Fixed

  • Taps landed centimeters from where you touched once you'd zoomed in.
  • A press held between 0.22s and 0.35s did nothing at all — too slow for a tap, too fast for a hold.
  • The map flickered while zoomed, and again every five seconds while standing still: the whole city was being rebuilt on every gesture frame and again on every GPS reading. It's now drawn once and moved.
  • Long-pressing the map could crash the app.
