- 📦MapShifter: Stylized Game Map updated to version 1.0.38Fog of war: your arrow stays visible when you zoom out.
• When you zoomed out over places you hadn't explored yet, the fog could cover your own position. Now a small clearing always follows your arrow, at any zoom and in every map style.
• Lighter on your phone: the home-screen map widget no longer redraws itself every few seconds while you drive with the app open.
• New in Settings → Exploration: Clear Fog in Background. Turn it on and the fog keeps lifting while you just carry your phone, with the app minimized or the screen locked (navigation already did this). Off by default, since it uses more battery.
• Pick the voice that reads your turns: Settings → Navigation → Voice. Tap a voice to hear it. Enhanced and Premium voices you download in iOS Settings show up there too.… more - 📦MapShifter: Stylized Game Map updated to version 1.0.37Better directions, now on your car's dashboard too.
• Fixed directions sometimes naming the turn after the one coming up. The distance was right, but the instruction was one turn ahead. Thanks to everyone who sent screenshots!
• CarPlay: on cars with a map screen behind the steering wheel, MapShifter now shows your themed map there too. Use the car's zoom buttons to zoom in and out.
• Search now remembers the places you picked: they show up under Recents as soon as you open it. Long-press one to remove it, or clear them all.
• Steadier: CarPlay no longer freezes for a few seconds when a route starts or ends, and a rare crash when opening a search result is fixed.… more - ✏️MapShifter: Stylized Game Map: app got bigger122 MB → 149 MB (+22%)
- 📦MapShifter: Stylized Game Map updated to version 1.0.36Plan a trip with stops along the way.
• Two new map themes: Bootleg 1930, a printed 1930s city map with mustard streets, and Field Notes, a map drawn in pencil on notebook paper.
• Add up to 8 stops to a route: tap a place and choose Add Stop. Drag to reorder them or swipe to remove one, before or during the trip. MapShifter guides you leg by leg and tells you when you've reached each stop.
• Navigation and fog of war keep working with your phone locked or another app open.
• Tap the location button twice and the map turns to face the way you're walking or driving, even without a route. Tap again to go back to north-up.
• Set Home and Work straight from search: tap their empty slots, or the + to save any place as a favorite.
• CarPlay Dashboard now shows your themed map next to Now Playing, instead of Apple Maps. Your Home and Work shortcuts appear there too.
• Want just the map in CarPlay? Tap the eye button during a route to hide the turn card. Voice guidance keeps talking, and tapping again brings the card back.
• The stretch of road leading into your next turn is now highlighted, so it's easier to see where to turn.
• Temperature now has its own setting, so you can use miles with °C, or kilometres with °F.
• Your Home favorite now has its own icon in every map theme.
• Smoother, sharper navigation arrows in several themes.… more - 🚀MapShifter: Stylized Game Map: now shown next to Game Maps IRL, Game Maps Online : Car Maps, Mappr: Game Maps +4 morethe store's “similar apps” for it changed: who it's seen as competing with

- 📦MapShifter: Stylized Game Map updated to version 1.0.34Navigation now knows when you've arrived, even if you park a little short.
• Park near your destination, in a lot, at the curb or around the corner, and once you've stopped for a moment MapShifter announces your arrival and wraps up the trip. You no longer have to end it yourself.
• Pulling into a parking lot beside your destination no longer sends you on a new route.
• The home screen widget now switches to your new map theme, even if you leave the app right after picking it.
• On CarPlay, drag the map with your finger to look around, or use the new pan button on cars with a knob or touchpad.… more - 📦MapShifter: Stylized Game Map updated to version 1.0.33CarPlay now uses miles when you ask it to.
• CarPlay follows your distance unit setting. Choose miles in MapShifter and turn distances, trip distance and search results on CarPlay show miles and feet instead of always showing kilometers.
• New installs start in the units your region uses, so drivers in the US and UK get miles from the first trip. If you already picked a unit, it stays as it is.
• Offline maps stay downloaded. Regions you save now show up in Offline Maps every time you open the app, and unfinished downloads pick up where they left off.… more - 📦MapShifter: Stylized Game Map: now updating weekly4 updates in 30 days, after a quiet two months
- 📦MapShifter: Stylized Game Map updated to version 1.0.31New theme: Maze Muncher, plus a zoom you set once.
• Maze Muncher: a new arcade maze map. Streets become blue-walled corridors lined with pellets, places turn into colored ghosts and bonus fruit, and the marker is a chomping muncher that eats its way along your route.
• Navigation zoom is now remembered. Zoom out with the + and − buttons or a pinch while navigating, and the map keeps that framing after re-centering and on your next trip. There is also a Navigation Zoom setting.
• The Now Playing option now says it works with Apple Music. Other music apps don't share what they're playing with other apps, so they can't be shown.… more - 📦MapShifter: Stylized Game Map updated to version 1.0.29Fixes for navigation.
• The banner now shows the right turn every time. On routes that use the same street twice, such as a U-turn or a loop around the block, it could show the arrow and street of the turn before or after the one coming up.
• Arrival is recognized even when GPS accuracy drops at the end of the drive, as it does in garages and between tall buildings.
• The marker no longer drifts along the route while you are stopped.
• Voice guidance no longer freezes the app for several seconds after a prompt on some devices.
• The now-playing pill loads album artwork in the background instead of stalling the map.
• Fixed a crash when deleting an offline map while it was still downloading.… more - 📈MapShifter: Stylized Game Map charting in a new country in 2 chartsCanada · Saudi Arabia

- 📦MapShifter: Stylized Game Map version 1.0.28Navigation gets a voice, a choice of routes, and a much steadier fix in the city.
• Voice guidance. Spoken directions before every turn, in your language, lowering your music while they play. Mute from the banner or in Settings.
• Choose your route. Up to three options with time differences and toll markers; tap a chip or a line on the map to switch before you start.
• Turn markers on the route line, with an arrow on the maneuver coming up.
• Steadier tracking on stacked highways, ramps, and in tunnels: the marker stays on your road, keeps moving when the signal drops, and a Recalculate button is there when you know better.
• Search results for local places open reliably, and favorites can be renamed so “Mom’s house” comes up when you search for it.
• Fog of War: a new mode that hides the map until you explore it, with its own stats and achievements.
• CarPlay: End Route and Recalculate stay on screen during guidance.… more - 🆕MapShifter: Stylized Game Map: its developer released another app: Last Seen: Detective Story
