Self-Management
Luxemburg is now operating under “Self-Management” - their local community now assigns new AM or grants more area to old AMs, as-well as CMs.

Toll Roards
Wazers in Ireland can now avoid toll-roads thanks to their hard work in mapping each and every toll-road in their country and thus getting the feature activated, enjoy!
To activate it, simply go to the main menu, select “settings”, then “Navigaion” and approve the “Avoid toll roads” option.
