🍰 Overlays!

Make every survey unique! How? Dedicate each to updating a different aspect of the map by activating a different overlay, respectively!

This is for advanced users who want to be more efficient in adding and maintaining certain data area-wide. Read more in this blog post!

For now, there are only overlays for street lighting and for sidewalks, more will be added over time. 🎉 (#2461, #2506, #3920, #3644)

New Quests

• Is there a summit cross here? (#4111, #4095), by @FloEdelmann
• What is signed at this entrance? (#4066, #3064), by @matkoniecz

Enhancements and Fixes

• Consider that cycle lanes on the right side of the road do not always go in forward direction (and respectively for countries with left-hand traffic)

🧭 Recording GPS track

Did you ever notice some path missing on OSM while solving quests? Now, you can walk that path and then attach it to a public note!
Note that the track can only be recorded while the app is in foreground. So, it is not meant to replace tools like GPS Logger but to help locate short missing path segments and similar.
