    @Corjan-Meijerink Great release but I think I may have found a bug that also existed in the previous build. Whilst the iPhone display is correct, the CarPlay display does not re-centre or track correctly if you disconnect from CarPlay, stop navigation on the phone and then resume navigation on CarPlay connect after the No or Navigate prompt is selected on the CarPlay screen.

    IMG_1024.png IMG_1023.png

    You can change the compass settings on the phone and/or in CarPlay but this does not resolve the route tracking picture on CarPlay. You can select the 'overview ' button in Car Play and this displays correctly but a second selection back to the previous compass view does not rectify the problem. The CarPlay cursor will eventually go off the screen unlike the correct picture on the iPhone:

    IMG_1032.png IMG_1031.png

    The only way to solve the problem appears to be by disconnecting and reconnecting from CarPlay during the nav session. This problem appears to be fairly consistent for me with the sequence described above.

    I can provide more information if needed, including logs.

      Hi all! 🙂

      It is time for new beta again! 🎉
      This version is all about the support of offroad waypoints!

      Offroad waypoints

      Within the online MRA Routeplanner you can very conveniently mark some waypoints as "offroad". The main idea behind this is to skip a section of road that is unknown to the selected routing engine (HERE / TomTom / OSM). Ideal to avoid roads marked as closed (either seasonal or long term damaged) or things such as ferries.

      The app had no idea how to work with these "offroad" waypoints and just treated them as normal ones. Causing the route to be different than planned 😞

      As of now, the app does support the offroad waypoints! 😏

      offroad_planner.png

      In the planner you can edit any route you like and mark any waypoint as offroad! Just as in the website.

      offroad.png

      If you then choose to navigate a route with offroad waypoints, you will see straight lines on the offroad sections. Just as planned! 😃

      These sections will be made extra clear with a nice dashed line.

      While navigating over an offroad section, some things are however different:

      • No visual instructions
      • No audio instructions
      • Possible loss of ETA information
      • Automatic recalculations disabled

      You don't need them anyway, as you're offroad.
      Android Auto / CarPlay do not support the disabling of some visual elements. This can result in a slightly suboptimal experience when on an offroad section. Do let us know how you experience this!

      As offroad waypoints rely on track navigation under the hood, you do need to be online for an optimal experience. When offline, you will receive an appropriate warning 😉

      By introducing this feature in the app, we now support all the crucial features that the website has 🎉

      Compass changes

      A lot of users were unaware what the selected camera mode was. Not entirely their fault as the icon remained the same and you did not receive any other confirmation.

      compass.png

      Now when tapping the compass, the icon will change based on the selected mode. Also, you will receive a short textual confirmation of the selected camera mode.

      Bluetooth controller changes

      • Support for Remotek firmware version 2.x
      • Fixed issue with BMW Carpe Iter controller

      Minor fixes

      • iPad export option
      • Manual day / night changes from CarPlay / Android Auto changed the base map style incorrectly
      • Missing pause icons
      • Not showing the same warning multiple times

      Minor changes

      • Added a loader in the in-app planner
      • Not including current location when calculating routes that are far away
      • Showing original route just before starting navigation (not only while navigating)
      • Open route from RouteXpert library or activity feed by tapping the image
      • Flow for starting routes created in a map other than HERE

      What's next

      That's it for now!
      We are currently working on a complete rework of the home screen of the app 😏 Expecting a beta of this early February!
      The idea behind this is to improve the visual appearance of the app, less clicks for the user, smoother transition to navigation and offline availability of the home screen maps too.

      Cheers,
      Corjan

      @Corjan-Meijerink :

      Good morning Corjan,

      I'm back 😉, thank you very much for all your great work in the last 8 weeks !!️

      A quick question about, Bluetooth controller changes

      • Support for Remotek firmware version 2.x

      What is the difference in the MRA application now the Remotek version 2.x to the old Remotek version. Within the MRA since I still use the old version.

      Where could I find it in the manual at the MRA description?

      Eine kurze Frage zu, Bluetooth controller changes

      • Support for Remotek firmware version 2.x

      Worin unterscheidet sich in der MRA Anwendung jetzt die Remotek Version 2.x zur alten Remotek Version.innerhalb der MRA da ich noch die alte Version nutze.

      Wo könnte ich es im Handbuch bei der MRA Beschreibung finden ?

        @Hubert-Thoring The manual is indeed missing in the German portal. I'll get that fixed.

        You can find the english one here: https://support.myrouteapp.com/en/support/solutions/articles/12000100670-bluetooth-controllers (might need to open that in an incognito browser)

        In short, I wouldn't update the firmware as you loose some features 😉

          @Dave-J-0 Could you create a support ticket for this and include the logs? 🙂

          I've tried to reproduce the issue but unfortunately am not yet able to grasp what could go wrong!

            @Corjan-Meijerink support ticket created with logs. Replicated the problem on 2 occasions with different routes using this sequence:

            • Disconnected from CarPlay by power off or unplugging.
            • Opened app on iPhone to stop navigation but not finish the session.
            • Reconnected to CarPlay by power on or plugging in.
            • Selected resume navigation option displayed on CarPlay.

            Cycling through views in CarPlay settings made no difference to how the app tracked and navigated my position on the CarPlay display (although I could enable overview) but the iPhone display was correct. Unplugging and reconnecting whilst the navigation was still active in the phone solved the problem for CarPlay display problem.

            Kind Regards. Help where I can.

              Great update - thank you very much!
              The Idea with compas is really appreciated.
              Hopefully, now auto zooming in is stopped also (if it is selected in preferences)
