Map "spinning" when standing still

[Peter Zehentreiter]

Can confirm that I had the same issue last week, with the new version 5, but it happened also in the previous version.
Pixel 9 / all settings up to date

@Corjan-Meijerink Do you plan to investigate this phenomenon further, as it seems there are a number of users experiencing this, not just me?

[Corjan Meijerink]

I stand by my previous statement: https://forum.myrouteapp.com/post/71634

The issue is definitely not related to v5 specifically. Yes, it can be annoying but there are so many factors that can cause the issue which makes it hard to investigate. After driving with quite a bit of Android Auto / CarPlay lately I can only confirm that I did not observe the behavior.

I actually find it helpful for orienting on the surroundings...
But I never could discover under what circumstances it happens, and when not.

Thank you for your reply. It's possible that I just didn't notice it as much before. What I can say for sure, though, is that it now occurs at practically each and every single stop when driving through Berlin (i.e. every three minutes), which is really annoying and makes it necessary to memorize which way to go before your stop (so that one can drive the desired route despite the unwillingly recalculated navigation pointing in a wrong direction. And that's a bad thing for a navigation app, I would say!

It has been said by others above that it seems to be a problem while driving through the city rather than the countryside. Maybe you have driving mostly outside urban areas?

I understand it might be hard to debug, but given that this happens with none of the other navigation apps I have installed, it's obviously a MRA-specific (or HERE-specific) problem. And I don't think the hardness of a problem's debuggability is a helpful measure in software engineering in order to achive a great product.

Hi, I had this the other day on countryside. When I stopped the screen turns half to one site and then 360° to the other side and then stays mostly in other direction then you have to drive.
When I tried to make a screen recording (what is difficult during driving) it was gone, I could not replicate it that day.
I will try next time.

[Con Hennekens]

@Jörgen, I think we all know what it looks like, just don't try to make screen recordings while driving, stay safe instead

Updated my Samsung Tab with 5.0.0. Same spinning while standing like on the Ulefone. Regards Thomas

[Corjan Meijerink]

I’ll investigate this more in depth for 5.0.2

@Corjan-Meijerink That's great to hear.

[Jörgen]

@Con-Hennekens
Thank you very much for your care. I know safety comes first. That's why I started the screen recording beforehand today. And I edited the video afterwards.
I had to stop at that point (at 38 seconds) because of oncoming traffic.
The direction of travel was clear here, but when you're standing at an intersection and the screen rotates like that, it's not clear.

Anyway, just to demonstrate: https://youtu.be/t1NSoV13yYs

same here. more spinning with v5 when standing still. Android.
The app seams to think that i am moving. In the video I am standing still roughly where the flag is.

@Herman-Veldhuizen what version of the app are you using. In 433 it should have been solved

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Marinus-van-Deudekom that’s not true.
I’ll look into the subject for next update

Ik heb samen met Hans een paar kleine testjes gedaan. Beide zitten we in onze woonkamer (ik zit stil in Wachtberg Duitsland, geen idee wat hij uithaalt, maar hij schijnt in Helmond te zitten ) hij met z'n iPhone 16 plus met IOS 26.1, ik met aan de ene kant van mijn bureau een Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra met Android 16 en aan de andere kant een Samsung Tab Active4 Pro met Android 15.

Locatiegegevens bij alle drie op maximaal (Toegestaan bij gebruik App vs Altijd toestaan, gaf een gering verschil). Waar bij Hans de cursor stil bleef staan. Danste hij bij mij (op beide apparaten) door de hele buurt, met een verschil in locatie van ca 100 meter. Ik was (wonend op nummer 4) vnl. bij de buren van 10 op bezoek, volgens beide apparaten. Pas na ca. 1,5 minuut werd het hem duidelijk, dat ik toch echt op 4 zat, maar niet echt heel enthousiast.

Zou het dan toch een IOS vs Android/Samsung dingetje zijn, of is onze locatie zo duidelijk anders qua ontvangst?

Nu maar hopen, dat mijn robotstofzuiger mijn slaapkamer weet te vinden.

[Herman Veldhuizen]

wat is zie is dat het vaak gebeurt als er 2 wegen naast elkaar liggen. dan springt de cursor heen en weer van de ene weg naar de andere en weer terug

[Marinus van Deudekom]

@Corjan-Meijerink oeps, ik dacht dat het al gefixed was

[Jörgen]

Hi, wenn Ihr in Niederländisch schreibt, brauche ich ja auch nicht meinen Text zu übersetzen und kann in Deutsch schreiben.

@Lex.Kloet.RX innerhalb eines Gebäudes ist das doch normal, der Satellitenempfang ist da zu schlecht.

Heute hat sich die Karte auch ein paar mal an einer Kreuzung gedreht, wenn man gerade steht, ist das doof, man weiß erstmal nicht in welche Richtung man fahren muss.

[Lex.Kloet.RX]

@Jörgen das ist mir bekannt, es ging mir um das verschiedene Verhalten. Aber ich habe das öfters, das bei mir bei Ampeln am Rad gedreht wird. ‍

[Corjan Meijerink]

I've investigated the issue, found a possible cause and implemented changes in 5.0.2.

Will need some extensive beta testing on different devices but I'm hopeful the issue will be resolved
