Changelog
1.6.1 – 2026-02-25
- Added: Import named waypoints from GPX as Map Marker blocks — after uploading a GPX file, a button appears in the block editor to instantly create Map Marker blocks from any named
<wpt>elements in the file. Already-imported waypoints are detected by coordinates and skipped to prevent duplicates.
