What's new

What's new in maps.dog, release by release.

  1. Version 0.1.1

    Fixes for maps.dog installed as an app on iPhone, and clearer filter chips.

    Fixed

    • In the installed app, the top bar of every page, the sign-in page and the offline page no longer sit behind the status bar or the notch.

    • Pop-ups and the add-place sheet stay clear of the status bar on small screens, and links to a section scroll it fully into view.

    • The filter chips on the map are frosted glass again: the map behind them is blurred, so their labels stay easy to read, also in dark mode.

  2. Version 0.1.0

    The first release: a map of dog-friendly places, with guides, reviews and turn-by-turn directions.

    Added

    • A map of dog-friendly places: cafés, restaurants, bars, dog parks, parks and nature, beaches, shops, places to stay and vets, each with its own pin.

    • Quick filters for open now, dogs allowed inside, water bowl and off-leash, plus a filter per category, with one tap to reset them.

    • Address and place search, and a button that shows where you are.

    • A place card on the map and a page for every place: address, opening hours, what to know with your dog (inside, leash, water), photos and reviews.

    • Directions inside maps.dog by car, on foot, by public transport or by bike, with up to three routes to choose from and the travel time on each.

    • Turn-by-turn navigation: the next turn in a banner, spoken directions that can be muted, a new route when you leave the planned one, and a dog on the map that turns the way you face when you walk.

    • Public transport connections with lines, directions, platforms, departure times and every stop on the way.

    • Open any route in Apple Maps or Google Maps instead.

    • Reviews with paws, and facts about each place that dog owners confirm.

    • Add a place, add photos, and report a problem with a place. New places and photos are checked before they go live.

    • Saved lists for the places you want to remember.

    • City and country guides with the best places by category, a searchable overview of every country and city, and articles about life with a dog.

    • Sign-in with an email link, a profile with name and photo, and the option to delete your account yourself.

    • A monthly newsletter you can subscribe to and leave with one click.

    • A contact form.

    • Light, dark or system appearance, and German or English.

    • Install maps.dog as an app; pages you visited also open without a connection.

    • A changelog page that shows what is new in every release.

    Security

    • Bot protection on the contact form and the newsletter sign-up.

    • Limits on how often the public search can be used.

    • Your location is only used on your device, except for the start of a route, which is sent to the routing service to calculate it.
