Roadstr 0.4.12 is out

NEARBY — tap the search box and, without typing a word, one tap tells you where the closest fuel, supermarket, cash machine, pharmacy, hospital, police station, post office, parking or charger is. Within 5 km of wherever you actually are, nearest first, distance on every row. Straight from OpenStreetMap tags, so it reads the same in Berlin, Tokyo, Nairobi or São Paulo — and places OSM never gave a name to are kept, not dropped: an unbranded pump or a cash machine in a wall is exactly what you were looking for.

And a number that had been lying to you: "avoid motorways & tolls" was quoting travel times from a different routing engine than every other route on screen. Checked on 29 real journeys over 350 km across six continents, plus ferries, islands and toll bridges.

Also in this build:
• Four relays instead of two, each verified to really store and serve Roadstr events — reports go to all of them, and all four are asked at once, so redundancy costs no waiting
• "My reports" is no longer empty: the profile was asking a single relay that kept refusing connections
• No more crash when updating the speed limit on one of your speed camera reports
• Restricted traffic zone (ZTL/ZAC) warning is back on screen
• Speed limit sign no longer hangs around after the route preview
• The map moves the moment you open it, instead of waiting for a cold GPS lock
• Fewer pointless reroutes
• Voice guidance speaks at 1.30× by default, so instructions land before the junction
• Auto dark theme off by default: your theme stays your theme
• 21 strings finally translated into all 26 languages

As usual, free, no account, no tracking. OpenStreetMap for the map, Nostr for the road reports, Lightning for the tips.
