			New features and fixes in V1.19 were covered in the [https://carloscarrasco.com/nimby-rails-march-2026/ March 2026] and [https://carloscarrasco.com/nimby-rails-may-2026/ May 2026] devblogs.

			Key features in the 1.19 update as listed in the [https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1134710/view/701024152480383843 update notes]:
			* Updated the bundled OpenStreetMap data to a newer planet database.
			* Replaced the proprietary map tile format with industry-standard formats, enabling players to create and install custom vector maps using open-source tools.
			* Added building footprints at maximum zoom where available in OpenStreetMap.
			* Added nearly all OpenStreetMap points of interest (POIs) as labels at maximum zoom.
			* Fixed map distortion near the poles at low zoom levels. Areas outside the supported view are now cropped or filled with a background.
			* Rewrote the map coordinate transformation system to improve compatibility with external map sources.
			* Added map rotation!
			# Rotate using the mouse's horizontal scroll wheel.
			#Alternatively, hold Shift while using the vertical scroll wheel.
			#Reset rotation with a middle mouse click or the new button in the top toolbar.
			*Added support for the following map formats:
			#Raster: PNG, JPG, WebP.
			#Vector: MapLibre Vector Tiles, Mapbox Vector Tiles.
			#Containers and sources: PMTiles, HTTP TileJSON and HTTP directory pattecccccccrns.
			*Added support for external map sources, including online maps served over HTTP.
			*Added the ability to configure custom sources through Map Options → Sources → New Source.
			*Custom HTTP sources can use a TileJSON file (recommended) or a URL pattern with {z}, {x} and {y} placeholders.
			*Added a native Linux build targeting the latest Steam Runtime 4.
			*Enabled cross-platform saves between Windows and Linux.
			*Steam Cloud saves are automatically shared between both platforms.

	From v1.19 onwards, ~~the game~~ supports displaying raster and vector tile layers from an external source.		From v1.19 onwards, NIMBY Rails supports displaying raster and vector tile layers from an external source.
			[[File:Raster Vectcor Example.png\|thumb\|alt=Visual example of adding a new raster and vector tile layer in NIMBY Rails.]]
			To use these layers in your game, follow the following instructions:

			# Open "Map options" in the top right toolbar
			# Select Sources.
			# Click New Source.
			# Copy-paste the URL text from the below table into the URL field, enter an appropriate name, and select the corresponding data format shown in the table below
			# Click Create. ''<small><br><nowiki>*Note: If the create button is greyed out ensure there are no spaces before or after the URL text.</nowiki></small>''

	To use these layers in your game, open "Map options" in the right toolbar, select Sources, and click New Source. Copy-paste the URL text in the URL field then click Create. If it's greyed out make sure there's no spaces before or after the URL text.

	'''Do not use the "copy link" context menu option from your browser.''' Select the URL text and copy-paste as if it was plain text.		'''Do not use the "copy link" context menu option from your browser.''' Select the URL text and copy-paste as if it was plain text.
