This release introduces Dropbox integration for importing and exporting your GIS data, along with performance improvements and a shapefile import fix.

Dropbox Integration​

You can now import and export GeoPackage projects and layer files directly via Dropbox. Connect your Dropbox account in Settings > Remote Connections > Dropbox, and your files are stored in the /Apps/Mapit GIS/ folder.

Export options are now presented in a redesigned bottom sheet with Local, Share, and Dropbox choices — making it easy to pick where your data goes.

Supported formats for layer import from Dropbox include GeoJSON, CSV, KML, and Shapefile (ZIP).

Shapefile Import Fix​

Previously, importing a shapefile from a ZIP required the ZIP filename to match the .shp file inside. The app now detects the .shp file automatically, so you can rename the ZIP freely. The layer name is derived from the actual shapefile name.

Performance Improvements​

  • Faster map loading — map layers are now prepared in the background, so the map opens faster
  • Fewer basemap reloads — the basemap no longer reloads unnecessarily after search, attribute edits, or style changes
  • Smoother editing — individual features are updated incrementally instead of reloading the entire layer, making large dataset editing noticeably faster
