Map Editor Rework, Smarter Elevation Chart and Safemap Updates

You asked. We built. This release is the biggest Map Editor update we've shipped in a while - driven by your feedback and user experience. Alongside it: Sharper dot rendering in the elevation chart and a round of Safemap enhancements that make alert navigation actually feel natural to use. 

A Map Editor that gets out of your way 

Map Editor - major rework

The view now behaves the way you'd intuitvely expect: it only zooms out when it needs to. If the selected elements are already in view, it recenters without touching your zoom level. If it's out of bounds, it adjusts. You stay in control without turning your mouse wheel. 

Beyond the zoom improvements, this release adds a long list of enhancements and features built from your feedback:

  • For POIs paste and edit Lat/Lon
  • Select and move Splits directly from the Elevation chart
  • Drag and drop ordering for POIs and Tracks — the sequence carries through to the Player
  • Start and Finish Splits now protected from accidental deletion
  • Bulk remove buttons for all Tracks, all POIs, and all Splits 

Elevation chart dots - better contrast 

Dot stroke rework in elevation chart 

Dot visibility on the elevation chart of the tracking map is improved. Stroke color now adapts based on the fill brightness - so dots stay readable regardless of background or marker color. Alpha channel values are now preserved and applied consistently across dots, and draw info rendering. 

Safemap: alert navigation that works intuitively 

URL state fixes and Google Maps integration 

Alert and notification interactions in Safemap were inconsistent — in some cases, setting two URL states in sequence would overwrite each other. That's resolved. Here's how navigation now behaves:

  • Clicking an alert on a starter switches to the notifications/alerts section, selects the alert, selects the corresponding starter, and centers the map on the alert

  • Clicking the starter icon on an alert entry switches to the starter section, selects the starter, and shows their position on the map
  • On a notification, clicking the starter icon and clicking the alert are now separate actions - each zooms the map to the correct position
  • Any coordinate-based UI element (alert location tags, last-location tooltips) now includes a direct Open in Google Maps button

A big thank you to everyone who sent feedback on the Map Editor and Safemap.
This release is yours.
