Release 2026.05.06 is out on Codeberg, F-Droid, iOS, and soon on Google Play and brings a big new feature:

No worries! It all is based on the same data, but then the processing can be quite different (e.g. the calculation of penalties for the routing algorithms goes into the maps during this processing), or which POI types are shown on the maps etc. Converting the raw OSM DB into something usable for mobile apps is quite a heavy processing step 🙂
