We’ve published some new improvements and fixed some bugs this week:

What's new

Faster stop entry. The "Add stop" field now sits at the top of the Stops panel, so you can add a new stop right away without extra scrolling or clicks.

Easier to find ferry connections. The ferry search is now a direct button in the "Add stop" popover, renamed "Ferries" — no more digging through the three-dot menu. The search itself works exactly as before.

Clearer import error messages. When importing users and one of them already has an account, the error message now shows the person's name and the product they're already registered in — instead of internal ID numbers — so you can immediately see who's affected.

Bug fixes

Fixed: the app no longer crashes when it can't recognize your browser's language setting; it now falls back to a default language when displaying dates.

We’ve published some new improvements and fixed some bugs this week:

What's new

Session state persists across reloads
Your route planning session is now remembered. If you switch tools or reload the page, Map&Guide keeps your stops, route name, selected vehicle and cost profile, start/end time, route options, map view, and last used results tab — no more lost work, and no more "do you really want to leave?" warning.

POI search fields reordered
The search fields in POI search have swapped: enter a location in the top field, and what you're looking for (e.g. a petrol station or rest stop) in the field below it. When "Search visible area only" is active, results update automatically as you pan or zoom.
By the way - you can now search for toll stations and motorway junctions.

Cost profile info in price model tab
A cost profile warning is now shown directly in the price model tab when no cost profile is assigned.

Bug fixes

Price model reset
Fixed: the selected price model no longer resets unexpectedly after changing the stop order.

Missing POI tooltips
Fixed: points of interest added from search now show their info tooltip in the stop list.

Address list styling
Fixed: a styling issue with the alternating row background in the address list.

Route settings panel state
Fixed: the route settings panel no longer collapses when you switch to another tab and back.
