• Background configuration for POIs
  You can now use all the background variants previously available in the old POI layer, along with their related configuration options.

• Cluster dots for POIs
  When POIs are not shown due to clustering, they are now displayed as small dots on the map, similar to how clustering worked in the previous POI layer.

• Support for additional writing systems

Version 1.188.0 – March 06, 2026 #

Added

• Profile configuration is now easier than ever. The Production API key field has been redesigned and now offers three options instead of a single text input:
  • Autogenerate API key (default): Automatically creates a positioning API key when profile is saved and attaches it to the profile.
    • After the profile is saved, the key can be edited or replaced by selecting Use custom API key.
    • On subsequent saves, auto-generation will attempt to reuse the previously generated API key if it still exists.
    • The generated key follows this naming pattern: autogenerated-apikey-for-<profile-name>
    • All automatically generated keys are created with the positioning type.
  • Use custom API key: Allows you to manually enter your own API key. The field is now a password-type input.
  • Do not use API key: Leaves the value empty, allowing authentication via JWT or by providing an API key in the request URL.

  • POIs are rendered with text + icon if configured. Icon size must be normalized over all POIs.
  • Some POIs should always be shown and highlighted over others: selected POI, POI origin, POI destination, Fixed POI, TOP Level POI.
  • When a POI is selected, their selected icon is shown. If this icon does not exist we render the default icon.
  • While on navigations/directions, only some POIs are opaque: POI origin, POI destination, and POIs related with the indications/navigation based on the configuration. The rest are dimmed.
  • Accessible theme support: only POI labels are shown, not their icons. Color scheme is adapted to high contrast theme.
  • If internationalization is configured, the names of the POIs change accordingly with the language of the Map Viewer.
  • Fixed POI is partially implemented. Edge cases are not accounted for (e.g. a Fixed POI with no icon configured)
• Configuration support:
  • POI text and icon visibility state via configuration and/or custom fields
