New beta! 5.1 (457)
-
@Corjan-Meijerink I'm on a trip of over 5000km and I keep insisting that being able to see the name of the next waypoint on screen is vital. Maybe I'm wrong, but could you tell me how you know in AA/CP which waypoint you're passing through? I just completed a route with several waypoints with stops and viapoints, all of them with names that provided information and associated comments. It's clear that the comments can't be read, although you can hear them if you configure MRA correctly, but there's no way to know which waypoint you're about to pass or are currently passing through. Sorry for being persistent.

@bluetuz not. Only by icon as in the base app itself

@Jörgen Hopefully, Android will be soon, too. I'd really like to try out the changes while there's plenty of time (weekend). We'll see.
Sadly, still nothing (PlayStore, Germany). It's a pity that Google needs that long for the approval. But well, there's no alternative but to wait further.

@Corjan-Meijerink In the app, you can see the WP name when you're near it, but this doesn't happen in AA/CP. Please, reconsider displaying the name of the next WP on screen somehow
@bluetuz We've included this in the definitive 5.1 release!
When within the distance that the app would also show the name of the upcoming waypoint, this is also done in CP / AA It will be shown in the field for the next instruction.

Guys, chill out - Android has always taken 1 - 2 weeks longer than iOS. It was the same with the last update...

My 4-day trip to Belgium is almost over. I had hoped to try out the beta version, but unfortunately, it’s still not available. Bad luck.
Mijn 4-daagse trip in België zit er bijna op. Ik had gehoopt de beta te kunnen proberen. Maar helaas nog steeds niet beschikbaar. Pech gehad.

Okay, folks. First field test of version 5.1. I don't know if anyone else has had a chance to try it yet.
I'm always referring to Android Auto.
First, the waypoint list doesn't work. I had a route loaded of about 300km with several waypoints, and when I went into the AA menu, it just kept loading, and no matter how long I waited, the list never appeared.
Second, the name of the next waypoint doesn't appear on the main screen at any point, not even when you approach it, unlike in the app.
Third, the altitude isn't displayed on the screen.
Another thing that needs improvement is the order of the buttons in the app's menu within AA. For example, the WP list appears last, and I think it's something that's used repeatedly, so it should be near the top.
One thing I liked is the Next WP icon that now appears on the main screen and tells you what kind of WP it is (food, photo, coffee, etc.) and how far away it is. It's quite useful. It seems to be running smoothly.

@bluetuz thanks for the feedback.
1: I’ll investigate this tomorrow
2: already added for the updated beta version before definitive release. That’s indeed not in the version you have now.
3: is the setting enabled? See “screen layout”
4: we have reordered buttons already which be available in the next pre-release version (just like 2)Glad it runs smoothly

@Corjan-Meijerink Thank you for the quick response.
I have the setting enabled for point 3.
I appreciate the effort you're making; I think the foundation of this app is very solid, and improvements will gradually be implemented to make it even better. -

Not sure if I'm writing anything correct or not... but I suppose altitude comes from GPS. Perhaps it takes GPS position from Carplay device and this is not providing it? (rare, I know, but ...)

I'm guessing it has to do with the fact that the screen resolution is too low.
In some cases there just isn't enough space (we think) to show it.
We are checking this now. -

'Note: While using CarPlay or Android Auto, the navigation position (GPS signal) is provided by your phone's GPS receiver, not the Chigee device.'
Interestingly, it does have on-board GPS, but it's only used 'exclusively for system data and dashboard metrics', such as:
- Time & Date: Automatically calibrating the time zone and ensuring accurate time display.
- Speedometer: Displaying real-time speed on the dashboard interface.
- Odometer: Tracking travel distance for trip recordings.
So it has some basic GPS-related features without the phone.

First test on AA today
It started whithout any problems. Did a testdrive of 125 km. Build in a false shapingpoint to see what would happen. Kept on the route ignoring the false shaping point. As expected MRA tried to sent me back. After 2 times it gave up and résumée. The route.
The gasstation indication was of no use at all. Near to the start it indicated a station at 97 km. I passend 6 stations on the route and never got a warning. Shell, totall etc gave no show.
On comming to a complete stop the map still is spinning, north -
My tests on IOS went without any problem, altitude is shown, no problem at all. Just iphone 15, no carplay.
