kmap Files

What's fixed

Coastline and boundary data come down when a map asks for them. On a new machine a build with Coastlines or Search index on went ahead without the data they read: the sea was derived from the extract, and addresses had no real city or region. A build now fetches a missing pack once and keeps it for every build after, picks up a dropped download where it stopped, and goes on without the pack, with a warning, when the mirror cannot be reached.

• House numbers are left out, and their row on the build form shows a dash, while the search index is off: they are only found through it.
• The build log stops scrolling at its first line instead of emptying from the bottom.
• Every zoom level in Zoom plans shows a rough scale instead of a bare column number.
• The JSON stream reports every stage running before done, even one that starts and ends between 2 polls.
• On macOS the Terminal window that kmap.app opens now closes when kmap ends, whatever the Terminal profile says. A window that also holds other tabs stays open.
• On Ubuntu 26.04 kmap no longer crashes when a download ends, as it did installing mkgmap and its patch.

Upgrading

Install over the top. On Debian and Ubuntu sudo apt install ./kmap_1.7.5_<arch>.deb; on other Linux unpack the archive and put kmap on your PATH; on Windows run the installer; on macOS replace the app. Profiles, styles and cached downloads stay put.

Which file

Windows 10 1803 or later, macOS 13 or later, Ubuntu 20.04, Debian 11 or later, any other Linux with glibc 2.17 or later. dpkg --print-architecture or uname -m prints the word you need.

First run

Nothing here is code-signed, so the first launch takes one extra click. On Windows: More info, then Run anyway. On macOS: right-click kmap and choose Open; from macOS 15, System Settings, Privacy & Security, Open Anyway.
