    Zooming under CarPlay works with the MRA at least it is confirmed in videos.!!

    Siehe Link ab ca. 4:48

    That means it is currently only missing under Android Auto, so it is still being developed there?

      @Hubert-Thoring Sadly not on CarPlay either. If you have the wonder wheel maybe you can zoom in and out whilst following a navigation, but for us non-BMW riders, weโ€™re looking for plus and minus button on the CarPlay/Android Auto screen so during navigation we can get the desired zoom in or out based on what we would like at that time. Some of the view modes (plan, north up) you can fix the zoom level on your phone, but once your phone is tucked away in your pocket you canโ€™t adjust without stopping, taking your phone out and adjusting it that way.

      Maybe all bikes should have a wonder wheel ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘

        Wouldn't a BT keyboard, for example, like Remotek One also be a good solution, because with it, the zoom -/+ can always be set independently of other hardware, so it also goes to the mobile phone on every motorcycle, from the tank bag. I did it under e.g. CarPlay on the mobile phone via Zoom in the car as a passenger but is the same as if I had done it with the Remotek One.

          @Graeme-Moores Thanks for the suggestion!
          We are indeed looking into ways to improve the zoom ๐Ÿ™‚

          This 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 itโ€™s the best out there, but this zoom issue alone is enough to stop me using MRA over my current app.

          @Dae-0 I was looking at changing from Apple to Android but having this feature available in Apple carplay has made me stick with Apple. I can use the wheel on my GS to zoom in or out on my carpuride 702BS

            @Hubert-Thoring Thanks for thisโ€ฆand I appreciate that some extra hardware, equivalent to the wonder wheel could do the job, but Iโ€™m still hopeful that our friends at MyRouteApp can give us a simple but effective plus/minus button on the CarPlay screen. I think the team have done a lot to make it better but this last bit of functionality would be a game changer without hanging yet another bit of hardware on the bike and sooo useful to lots of users.

                I don't believe this works for a "tugged away" phone that is in standby mode (screen off), does it? It does work with the phone open with the app in focus indeed.

                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.

                  @Con-Hennekens

                  You can set this so that the display remains activated and of course with the app running.

                  The USB power connection for the mobile phone is important, because in CarPlay or Android Auto the power consumption still seems to be high.

                  For this reason, I currently remain with the pure mobile phone solution on the motorcycle as described.

                  In the long term, however, CarPlay and Android Auto will be the solution for all of us.

                    @Corjan-Meijerink Hi Corjan, I spent the last couple of days on the lovely twisty roads of north Wales. The latest release was rock solid and most importantly the zoom +/- was fantastic. Being able to set the zoom for the road ahead but change it on the fly when the route changes direct on the CarPlay unit is a massive step forward.

                    Thank you so much for all the hard work. It is truly appreciated ๐Ÿ‘

                        The function is great when you want to see the route standing still.

                        For automatic zooming, it would be great if it was more dynamic. No setting, but zoom out more while driving straight ahead so you can see a big part of the route and zoom in when an exit is coming, keep the exit arrow just in the screen while zooming in from the point you are driving. Keep zooming in until you are near the exit and have a detailed view of the crossing. Once past the crossing zoom out until you see the next exit again just in the screen or the greater part of the route.

                        This way you get details in time, and see the most part of the route while just driving straight ahead.
