MyRoute-app & BarButtons - control our app using a bluetooth keyboard

@Con-Hennekens good point!

[Jack van Tilburg]

Relive the good old times

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Jack-van-Tilburg Wow! That's a nice relic

[Con Hennekens]

@Corjan-Meijerink, take a look at the SPEAK button. It repeats the last voice instruction I knew i did not think that up myself, when suggesting a similar feature

[Maicro]

When I saw the video yesterday: https://youtu.be/YH_JCfabwI0

The first thing I said: Oh my god!

This is what I have always longed to have to control MRA and not have to touch the screen.

I was actually going to purchase it but, after reading this thread, I have my doubts. The minimalist version looks wonderful.

Must-haves for me:
-Skip next Waypoint
-Zoom.

@Corjan-Meijerink, please what do you advise, wait for your version or buy it now?

Thank you very much for your excellent work.

[Jörgen]

Same for me, I would like to get it asap, but not sure to buy now or to wait? What is the recommendation?

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Maicro Happy to hear your enthusiasm! This is exactly why we are looking into these integrations.

To answer your questions (and @Jörgen), given the price I’d buy it now if you are enthusiastic. The product might be redesigned or get a custom branding but feature wise it won’t change a lot!

@Maicro skipping waypoint is possible already! See demo video. It’s a long press on a button. Zooming works too! However when navigating the camera stops following you when you changed the zoom. This is however a feature that will be added in the app!

I have seen the pics with the smaller versions, which i would prefer. Did you get any Informations about an Release date? I definitely want to use this keyboard this season.

@Ronni we don’t have any information about this. It’s all about prototyping and brainstorming now
However, if there would be a MRA branded version, I’d guess that will be available around the release of the the app.

[Ronni]

@Corjan-Meijerink ok. thx.

@Corjan-Meijerink
This one llooks awesome.
Particularly thumb post.
Similar to the Tigers.

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Steve-Lynch did somebody say Tiger?

@Corjan-Meijerink, it's probably not your game at MRA, but perhaps you can forward this. I like the joystick, bit (like the name says) it "sticks" out too much to be comfortable in operating it. I would prefer a Nintendo-style d-pad:

But I can't seem to find the switch for it.
Also perhaps move the LED to one of the sides. It might give room for an ENTER switch too, so you can start apps from the homescreen. The cursor already works for that, so we can already select an icon, just not execute it yet. And if you are screenprinting the logo, screenprint the button designations along with it

@Corjan-Meijerink This one is perfect for me:

To be honest you can use your big gloves to scroll the map or zoom in/zoom out. What is difficult and dangerous is to tap the screen buttons with the big gloves. The more you try to hit it, the more dangerous it is.

So for me: Re-Center, Skip waypoint, Toggle ETA these are my bread and butter.

Cheers!

There is a new prototype version on JaxeADV insta. And i agree with @Corjan-Meijerink: a barbutton with MRA branding at release of MRA Next, that would be great.

Joost from JaxeADV said: "There is currently 1 "under control" version on the road. I'm designing some other versions but nothing final yet.
The feature set of the version with joystick is identical to the one with the directional buttons. The keyboard support in MRA pretty much allows you to do a lot. See video with Corjan in action".

Unfortunately, no Statement about Release date

@Ronni, to be honest: I don't fancy the buttons between the grip and the regular needed buttons, especially the turn-lights. Priority needs te be at regular handlebar functions...

@Con-Hennekens I agree its a safety issue and on some bikes this design could cause clutch leveler not to be engaged fully (potentialy bike wont start if clutch switch is not engaged)

But this concept is much better . jogger and enter button. all you need. Can it be a jugger button up, down,left, right and pust to enter? Just like on triumph bike....then all you need is one

@Jure-Sirena-0

Did someone say Tiger.
Sorry couldn’t stop myself!

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Steve-Lynch I had the same urge!

Tiger freaks three of us already here
