    It wouldnโ€™t feel special without a little waiting right? ๐Ÿ˜‰

    @Corjan-Meijerink saying the speedometer is missing in CarPlay is such an example of wasting time I assume? ๐Ÿท

    On my motorcycle, I use a DMD-T665 navigation phone paired with a SilverFox controller. In my car, I use wireless CarPlay with my iPhone 15 Pro.

      Hey everyone! ๐Ÿ‘‹

      The update you have been anxiously waiting for is finally in the pipeline to be processed. You can expect access to the new Beta version before the weekend. Given the CarPlay integration, we expect a slightly longer review period by Apple.

      There are a lot of cool features and changes to the app.
      Let's get started! ๐ŸŽ‰

      Round trips
      If any of you ever tried to create a roundtrip with the app, you know how much time it can take. A very painstaking and user unfriendly process. From launching the app to having a new roundtrip is now only 2 clicks. Want to navigate it? Just another 2 extra clicks ๐Ÿ˜‰

      roundtrip.png

      Open the menu, click "round trip" and away you go.
      You can adjust the distance, heading and curvature of the route. Easy as that!
      If you really want to get into details, you can even avoid specific sections ๐Ÿ˜ Talking about avoidance, let's move on to the next big change!

      Avoid options
      When generating a route, we allowed you to select the curvature of the route but that was all! We now implemented all avoid options as they are available on the routeplanner (website)!

      avoid.png

      When selecting the fastest route, the only available avoid options are:

      • Highways
      • Ferries
      • Tolls

      This because those options are also available within HERE. Nice detail: we save your preference for these 3 options so that we can automatically choose the avoid settings like you did the last time ๐Ÿ’ช
      When switching to another curvature setting (not the fastest), we have defined certain presets of avoid options. You are free to alter them. For these curvature options the following extra avoid options are available:

      • Cities
      • Main roads
      • Residential areas

      When starting the navigation with the fastest routing options, you will use the default navigation from HERE where you can (again) set (different) avoid options. If you start navigation from any curvy (not fastest) routing setting, you will start the HERE track navigation! ๐ŸŽ‰

      track_navigation.png

      For track navigation, no avoid options are available.

      When you create a route in the online routeplanner and set different avoid options, these are now honoured by the app! ๐Ÿ˜ You can choose to turn them on / off before starting the navigation but this won't effect the route as saved online in the routeplanner.
      It doesn't even matter if the route has been made in HERE / TomTom or OSM! ๐ŸŽ‰ The app will respect your settings as long as it knows what is means. For example: the OSM avoid cities option for routes won't work in the app when starting that route. If the avoid option exists for the HERE map in the routeplanner, the app knows what to do with it.

      Layout improvements
      A bit of a continuous detail but none the less important! We have again improved the new menu to make sure the user experience keeps improving.

      layout_v2.png

      We also split the Navigation settings menu into multiple screens to give it a cleaner look.

      settings.png

      Offline maps
      The biggest issue was that it was unclear what regions were downloaded.

      offline_maps.png

      We fixed this by adding a little check mark in front of the downloaded regions. When deleting a region we now ask you to confirm this. Further improvements to the general stability / download progress insights will be tackled in another update.

      Favorites
      People were quite sad they couldn't save their current location as favorite while navigating. This has now been added to the menu!

      favorite.png

      Besides that, we now also ask you to confirm the removal of a favorite. The ability to change the name of favorites from within the app will be added later.

      Satellite maps
      For those who want to know more about the terrain they are driving through, we added a new map layer: satellite maps ๐ŸŽ‰

      satellite.png

      Especially for the (occasional) offroad rider we expect this to be a nice addition.

      Note: these maps are not downloaded offline with the "offline maps". You will always need internet for these maps and data usage will be higher given the higher level of detail

      Fixed camera mode
      A cool new camera mode has been added! Tap the compass to cycle between the default dynamic zooming mode or the fixed camera mode. The dynamic mode is exactly how you know it, the fixed mode keeps north up and uses a fixed zoom level. For now you cannot change the zoom but that will be added! ๐Ÿ™‚

      Minor changes

      • Navigation menu can now be closed by tapping on the map
      • Long pressing the compass focusses the entire route

      Bluetooth controller updates

      • Zoom in now possible with '='
      • Zooming in or out will keep the camera following your location using the described fixed camera behavior.

      CarPlay๐ŸŽ‰ ๐ŸŽ‰
      There it is ladies & gentlemen! The first version of CarPlay.
      Thanks a lot to Joost for being the sole person responsible for developing this project. The foundation is amazing and we will be able to add a lot of cool new CarPlay features in the upcoming updates.

      render_routing.png

      Crucial about this first Beta release of CarPlay is that all features need to be started using your phone. Do you want to navigatie a route / to a favorite location / a roundtour etc.. just do this on your phone while CarPlay is connected. Once you click "Start" (like you would normally start the navigation) - it will also start in CarPlay ๐Ÿ˜‰

      When opening your route overview in HERE, you can also select an alternative route from CarPlay! Starting the actual Navigation will show the instructions etc in CarPlay.

      render_main.png

      Within CarPlay you can fit the route to the screen and pan around like you would want to ๐Ÿ™‚

      render_pan_fit.png

      You can also use the app in CarPlay dashboard view! ๐ŸŽ‰ This is something the current "MRA Navigation" app doesn't support at all.

      render_dashboard.png

      From the dashboard view some extra features are already available! You can quickly load your last route and start / cancel the navigation of a route.

      Now it is very important that all testers understand that this early Beta of CarPlay. This means that a lot of features are still missing. Please don't waste your own time by suggesting that navigating to a favorite location or showing a route list is a crucial feature. We know! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

      Lastly there are some important issues with regards to CarPlay that we already know about (these will be addressed in a future update):

      • MyRoute-app Mobile needs to be launched or in the background before connecting CarPlay
      • Start CarPlay while on the home screen (the one shown when launching the app ๐Ÿ˜‰)
      • CarPlay is only in English
      • Maneuvers & voice instructions can be slightly delayed (as compared to your phone) and sometimes show an incorrect (read: previous) maneuver
      • Lane instructions are missing
      • Maneuver icons for the next maneuver can be too small

      We are very curious about your feedback! Hope you all enjoy this massive update ๐ŸŽ‰

      Best from us at MRA! โค

        @Bart-DM hahaha, smart thinking ๐Ÿ˜‰

        We really are aware that a lot of stuff is missing. We could take another 1.5 weeks of adding that but then youโ€™d all need to wait. Didnโ€™t want to do that ๐Ÿ™‚

        All the obvious things will be added for sure over the upcoming updates! Do however feel free to share suggestions. Iโ€™m just stating the above to prevent 100 suggestions about the same obvious missing features ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

                          @Corjan-Meijerink Awesome update! Looking forward for Android Auto.

                          If you can, one very nice feature for AA would be if you can define the app like a navigation app or a music app - toggleble. I know it sounds crazy, I don't know if it is possible, but a toggle for that would bring the window as the main navigation window OR the side window that usually is taken by the music app.

                          The new AA Coolwalk interface kind of restricts you what can you place in the side window, and so far, I could only place music apps there.

                          This way you can use both Waze and MRA on the same screen... Would be cool...

                            Then I worked out that you just keep tapping it and it spins a step clockwise for each tap.

                              @Steve-Lynch happy you figured it out ๐Ÿ™‚ We do hope to improve it a bit later on ๐Ÿ˜‰

                              @Con-Hennekens no clue about the size - the total app size did not change a lot but maybe the update only required a partial download. Not sure how the play store manages that.

                                Ik snap er niets van. Ik gebruik Apple Carplay al behoorlijk lang met MRA Navigation. Werkt werkelijk uitstekend, mijn Zumo XT niet meer nodig en rijd de route op mijn eigen (Goldwing) scherm. Nu wordt het als iets nieuws aangekondigd, of bedoelen jullie in de MRA app zelf? Als dat zo is, waar is MRA navigation Dan nog voor nodig?

                                  @Ad-Vollebergh dat is precies het idee, deze app vervangt straks volledig de bestaande MRA Navigation app ๐Ÿ™‚

                                    @Corjan-Meijerink Dan heb ik dus voor niets een lifetime subscription op MRA Navogation genomen?

                                      @Ad-Vollebergh said in New Beta! (v3.2.10) CarPlay, roundtrips and much more:

                                      @Corjan-Meijerink Dan heb ik dus voor niets een lifetime subscription op MRA Navogation genomen?

                                      NEE! De nieuwe navigatie app wordt geรฏntegreerd met MRA Mobile. Dus je hebt nog maar รฉรฉn app nodig straks. Je behoudt gewoon je abonnement op Navigation. Navigation Next blijft hetzelfde abonnement als je nu al hebt, en sterker, waarmee je รผberhaupt toegang hebt tot dit (beta) deel van het forum ๐Ÿ˜‰

                                      I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

                                      Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebar to the saddle.

                                        @Ad-Vollebergh exact, precies zoals @Con-Hennekens zegt ๐Ÿ™‚ De aanschaf is juist heel slim geweest aangezien je nu al toegang hebt tot de Beta, kan meebeslissen in het proces middels dit forum en voor de goedkoopste prijs levenslang kan genieten ๐ŸŽ‰
