Step through a route from stop to stop, copy an address or coordinates from any point, plus fewer restrictions on map names

Plot Along 2.5.8 makes it easier to move along a route and lift details off the map. The waypoint menu gains Previous and Next controls, shared maps get a clear button for flying to a stop, and you can now copy an address or coordinates straight from any point.

Stepping Through a Route

• Previous and Next, right in the menu. Open a waypoint’s menu (right-click, or long-press on a touch screen) and you’ll find Previous and Next controls, so you can walk a route one stop at a time. Each step flies the map to the next waypoint and reopens its menu there, so the whole route is one tap per stop. The controls appear on any route with more than one waypoint.
• Your zoom stays put. Flying to a waypoint keeps your current zoom level instead of snapping back, so you don’t lose your sense of the surrounding ground.
• Fly to a stop on shared maps. Every waypoint on a shared map now has a clear Navigate to waypoint button, so anyone viewing the route can send the map straight to a stop instead of guessing that its marker is tappable.

Copy Straight From the Map

• Copy address and coordinates. Right-click a point (or long-press on touch) and you’ll find Copy address and Copy coordinates in the menu, on your own maps and on any you’ve shared.

A Few Refinements

• Name your maps freely. Map names and descriptions now accept slashes and other characters that used to be off-limits, so you can title a route the way you’d actually say it.
• Tabbed waypoint details. The waypoint detail panel is organized into Description, Stats, Address and Settings tabs, on both the editor and shared maps.
• Tidier thumbnails. Map thumbnails draw their pins in a consistent order.
• Endpoints hold their ground. When a cluster of stops includes the start or finish of a route, it now anchors to that endpoint, so the first and last pins stay where you expect.
• Verification banner fits your phone. The email verification banner now sits edge to edge on a small screen.
• Back button behaves. After you sign in or register, the back button no longer drops you back on the login screen.
