UnifiedMap roadmap & "old" maps deprecation notice

c:geo has an all-new map implementation called "UnifiedMap" since some time, which will ultimately replace the old implementations of Google Maps and Mapsforge (OpenStreetMap). This is a deprecation notice to inform you about the further roadmap.

UnifiedMap got published about a year ago. It still supports Google Maps and OpenStreetMap (online + offline), but in a completely reworked technical way, and with a lot of exciting new features that the "old" maps do not support, some of which are

Map rotation for OpenStreetMap based maps (online + offline)

Cluster popup for Google Maps
Hide map sources you don't need
Elevation chart for routes and tracks
Switch between lists directly from map
"Driving mode" for OpenStreetMap based maps
UnfiedMap has proven to be stable since quite some time, thus we will remove the old map implementations to reduce the efforts for maintaining c:geo.

Roadmap:

"Old" maps are in deprecation mode now - we won't fix bugs for it anymore.
UnifiedMap will be made default for all users in fall of 2025.
"Old" map implementations will be removed in spring 2026.
Until then, you can switch between the different implementations in settings => map sources.
