What’s new

Photo pins that sit close together now show a single badge with how many photos are nearby, so a busy spot stays readable.

Also in this update:
- The internal "Photo Pins" entry no longer clutters your Layers list.
- Fixed "Add to Point" going missing from photos after reopening the app.
- Fixed the camera screen turning black when you rotate the phone.
- Fixed a rare crash when using map tools like Buffer and Spatial Join.
