CarPlay unit Zoom +/- 😁 love MRA but this drives me nuts
-
So after some playing around I’ve figured out that
plus and minus buttons on the phone screen during navigation control the amount of zoom in or out on the phone display and on the CarPlay unit. Once you’ve set it the CarPlay display stays that way. This excludes the auto zoom in settings (more on that later).But let’s say that you want to change the degree of zoom from the CarPlay unit during a navigation. My phone is tucked away in a pocket. There is map adjustment button on the CarPlay display unit (bottom right hand corner), press that and the + & - buttons allow to zoom in or out. Great except once you press Done button it reverts back to whatever you set on the phone.
So please lovely people at MRA is it possible to adjust the degree of zoom from the CarPlay unit using the + / - control so the map zoom or scale stays as it does on the phone. Of course until you adjust the zoom again from either the phone or the CarPlay unit.

@Graeme-Moores Thanks for the suggestion!
We are indeed looking into ways to improve the zoom

We are indeed looking into ways to improve the zoomThis is really needed. I used MRA with CarPlay for the first time in 12 months, just to see what changes had been made since I was on the MRA Next beta. My biggest issue was no ability to change zoom from CarPlay (my phone remains tucked away).
I always use MRA for planning as it’s the best out there, but this zoom issue alone is enough to stop me using MRA over my current app.

I can only confirm this. I was in Sardinia for 5 days in mid-October and wanted to follow a recommended route. The Mayrout app cannot be used without the zoom function in Android Auto. I finally had to drive further using Google Maps. It's a shame because your app is the best for tour planning -
I have this problem too. This app needs the ability to + / - when using Android auto.

@Corjan-Meijerink Is there already something in the pipeline concerning the zoom option on the Android screen? I'm new to MRA and discovering it on my motorbike with an Android Auto screen. Like the others, I don't have the ability to either zoom in or to zoom out on the Android screen. There is no + or - symbol somewhere visible or hidden on the screen. On the phone I can zoom in and out and even move de map but that has no influence on what happenes on the Andried screen. When I switch to Waze on the screen, I can zoom in en out and also move the map around so that proves that even with Android Auto it is technically possible since Waze (google) can make it happen.
Yesterday I let the App make a roundtrip of 80kms for me. I started following the route but on the screen I could see the blue line of the track only just in front of my position and I was not able to look a bit further away (no zoom out option). When I still had to do 72kms of the track I suddenly mist a tuning point and the app recalculated the routing but since I could only see a very very little part of the track (just ahead of me) I did not know where the recalculation was going to guide me to. What I saw was that i.s.o. having 72kms left I suddenly saw 122kms left. I pulled over, took out my phone and looked what was happening. Since I was familiar with the region I was able to find back the track but you will not be happy when you encounter this in hte middel of nowhere. This I could have discovered if I would have been able to zoom out on the Android screen. I continued struggeling a bit and then stopped the routing and continued with riding from point to point where I had to enter a new point every now and then which is a pitty. The system has a lot of potential but there is still some room for improvement I guess (and read in the forum). -
@Hennie-Bours yes, we are definitely going to add those zoom buttons! Bear with us till then!

@Corjan-Meijerink Dat zou wat mij betreft een drastische verbetering zijn. Ik kijk er rijkhalzend naar uit. Hopelijk gebeurt dit in de nabije toekomst en worden wij ervan op de hoogte gebracht want de zomer komt er langzaam aa. Bedankt voor uw reactie.

@Corjan-Meijerink That will be brilliant … looking forward to that release… Thank you

Zooming under CarPlay works with the MRA at least it is confirmed in videos.!!
That means it is currently only missing under Android Auto, so it is still being developed there?
