As a blogger who publishes weekly blog posts about Obsidian plugins, I'm excited to share with you the latest updates on Obsidian Map View plugin. In this week's post, I'll be discussing the new features, bug fixes, and changes in version 2.1.1 of the Obsidian Map View plugin.

New Features:

One of the most exciting new features in version 2.1.1 is the ability to search for geolocation notes using the Google Places API. This means that you can now search for places using natural language queries, such as "coffee shops near me" or "restaurants in New York City". The plugin will then return a list of relevant results, complete with addresses and ratings.

Another new feature is the ability to copy the active view as a link. This allows you to share your current map view with others, including notes, zoom level, and map source. To use this feature, simply right-click on the map and select "Copy link" or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C (or Command+C on Mac).

Bug Fixes:

Several bugs have been fixed in version 2.1.1, including issues with OpenStreetMap geolocation search, pop-ups not being clickable on mobile devices, and problems with parsing link names on lines that contain other links.

Changes:

There are a few changes to note in this release as well. First, the plugin now requires Obsidian 0.15.3 or newer to function properly. Second, the map control panel has been improved to be smaller and prettier when unused. Finally, the note name and cluster popups now follow the Obsidian theme.

Conclusion:

Overall, version 2.1.1 of the Obsidian Map View plugin is a significant update that adds new features, fixes bugs, and improves performance. If you're using the plugin, I highly recommend updating to this latest version to take advantage of these improvements. And if you're not yet using the plugin, now is a great time to give it a try!
