New beta! v4.1.3 (308)
-
Good evening all!
It's time for a new beta!
It's packed with nice new features and improvements. We expect it to be available somewhere tomorrow.CarPlay / Android Auto changes
There are quite come nice changes for these platforms!Route library
Finally! One of the most anticipated changes. Directly load any of your routes from CarPlay / Android Auto!
Speeding
When exceeding the speed limit - this will now be visible too
Resume navigation & skip waypoint
The resume navigation prompt has been improved and when skipping a waypoint, we ask you to confirm and we show the number of the waypoint that will be skipped!
More settings!
As you all enjoy settings, we added some more!
You can change the displayed arrival time as you can do in the app too. Now you can toggle between displaying duration / distance to the end / next waypoint / next viapoint.You can also change the camera orientation between the available modes!
Common changes
As we also changed some general things the app, these are listed below!North-up
We already had the dynamic and topdown camera mode. Now we added a north-up mode where the camera is fixed north. This allows you to navigate using the orientation that matches that of a traditional map!
Simply tap the compass as you are used to in order to cycle through these modes. We remember the last choice you made so you never have to tap the button again once you selected the mode you like
All modes are available in CarPlay / Android Auto too!
Display search results on map home screen
When searching for things we wouldn't display them on the map in the home screen. Now we do!Short tap a displayed icon to display the name, long press it to navigate to that item.
Configuration options auto zoom
We would automatically zoom out when you were driving faster or when the next instruction was farther away. Most of you enjoyed this but some did not. We decided that it's up to you how it works!- Off: we do nothing extra
- Speed icon: based on speed slightly less zoom
- Instruction icon: based on next instruction distance less zoom
- On: we use both! This was default like it was
The difference can be observed here:
Major details
- Solved white screen (map loading issue) + crash! (rare issue)
- Improved position delay on all Android devices!
Minor stuff
- Improved waypoint skip algorithm and fixed an issue causing it to skip large sections unintended.
- Improved algorithm that places stops (such as fuel stations) between your waypoints
- Added extra Carpe Iter controller configuration option
- More little tweaks
- General stability
Quite a long list! Hope you enjoy all of it!
Have great week and looking forward to your feedback.
I'm heading to Scotland next week to do some "testing"What's next
In my absence development will continue to support editing / creating routes directly in the app!
Cheers,
Corjan -
@Corjan-Meijerink thnx for the long list of nice features. Enjoy your holiday weekend!
-
@Corjan-Meijerink well done!
-
@Corjan-Meijerink Deeply impressed again by the tremendous amount of work done by the team. Wow.
-
IOS downloaded automatically from TestFlight
-
@Corjan-Meijerink thnkx Corjan. Great job. Can't wait to test the improved Android Auto
Enjoy your trip abroad -
Nice to be able to see all favourites on the map. Great work #TeamMRA
-
4.1.3 308 has been released in Android Play Store.
-
Awesome update
The best just got better. -
@Corjan-Meijerink everything and to work ok
It takes wie a long time, more than a minute for the settings menu to open. In the previous versions of took some time by in 308 a lot more. Zo much more that I thought the app crashed. Any one else voor the sameHonda Goldwing GL1500,
Honda Silverwing GL 650
Garmin XT
Samsung S20FE mounted on a Quadlock -
@Peter-Schiefer You can change this directly from CarPlay too, simply open the settings there
See screenshots in this post. -
309 is coming your way (very minor changes)
Mostly algorithmic improvements. -
@Peter-Schiefer That's correct
The setting syncs both ways! -
Great news, thanks! It would be nice to be able to move the search panel down and see the full screen map with the selected POI type. Now I can see it only on a half screen and it disappears when I move the search panel down.
POI are displayed along the route near my localtion? -
@Peter-Schiefer yes on my iPad it is fast. Deleting the app Will result in lossing thé settings, favourites ets.
Maybe it’s a flaw in 308 and could be solved by @Corjan-Meijerink -
@Peter-Schiefer thnkx Peter. I don’t know if I will be able to return to the Beta app
-
@Marinus-van-Deudekom it does that on my A7 tablet. Takes quite a while before the settings appear. Only the first time after opening the app. On my S20 phone there is no delay.
-
@Corjan-Meijerink great looking upgrades!
Question about gas stations - it appears that there is a distance limit (±25mi) on how far out the search will look, is that correct?
-
@GT-JWR no reasonable limit
It does prefer searching closer to your current location within x meter of the route.
Then it attempts further away from the route
Then slightly further along and closer to the route.
Then both further along and away from the route -
@Corjan-Meijerink thanks. I may not have given the app enough time to find stations further on down the route.
