Centre Map button
-
Hello,
yesterday, I used the Navigation application for the first time in a number of years as I intend to use it in South America in Match and April with offline maps as I explore Patagonia by motorcycle.
I thought that I should become familiar with the product so created a route to a local restaurant with a shaping point and a waypoint en-route.
I used my phone running Xiaomi Hyper OS andAndrod using and v5.0.2 - 442 of MRA.
Unfortunately I got a little bit mixed up and lost the line I was supposed to be following. I tried to zoom out and move the map back to where I was but, as I was driving at the time, I was unsuccessful.
Fortunately I knew where I was going!
On the way back home I reversed the route and all started off well but again the route on the map differed from the actual route I had planned (we are talking about rural France here and not many actual options). The directions were not keeping up with where I was and neither was the map. It was as though the route was working in reverse (even through I had changed the route on MRA planning and was running that).
Often, my position was in the middle of nowhere, in fields or in villages when I was obviously on a road.
All the above is very likely user error and I will be carrying out further tests over the next few weeks so that, when I really need it, it works for me!
One key take from my experience was that often, on the map, I couldn't see my position or where I was.
I searched for some sort of "re-centre" button whilst hitting the zoom buttons and scrolling through the compass options between north up, dynamic etc. etc.
Again, obviously user error as it works for everyone else!
Any advice or plans for a re-centre button in future releases?
Nick
