    Last weekend, I rode several routes using the myRoute app—comparing it against my Rider 400 and the Calimoto app—in order to determine the best navigation method for my needs. I navigated solely by following the on-screen instructions, without using headphones inside my helmet.
    In doing so, I found that the font size for the "next turn" indication in the myRoute app is simply too small. On a mobile phone screen, it is almost impossible to make out. Calimoto handles this much better; their turn-by-turn prompts are significantly larger, and I experienced no issues with visibility.
    My request is this: Please adjust the font size for the "next turn" indication—making it at least as large as the street name. 20260524_152538.jpg

    Here is the comparison... much easier to see on Calimoto.

      To be quit honnest. The difference between the 2 is not tghat great. Yes Calimoto is a tat bigger, but just a tad. If toy compair the rest of screen you'll the advantage of MRA. But yes I would support your wish to make a few thing a bitt bigger

        @Daniel-7 I agree yes the MRA text could be slightly bigger
        but if anything I would object to the size of the turn symbol on the Calimoto display, how big does a turn arrow have to be!!!!!
        Screen space is limited & these things will always be a compromise

          Hello—the arrow in Calimoto might be a bit too large, but the font size for the distance to the next turn is just right. I wish it were the same size in the MyRoute-app; as it stands now, it is difficult to read while riding.

            @daniel-7 I completely agree with your request. As far as I’m concerned, both the distance indicator and the arrow could be much larger and more prominent on the screen.

            I find the map useful around the current navigation instruction. Other than that, I mainly just want to know when the next instruction is coming up. The road layout and how sharp the upcoming bends are (an argument I see mentioned from time to time) are things I’d rather, and much more easily, get from the real world. 🙂

              ... Or maybe we’re just at the age where we need reading glasses. 😄

                That’s why I now drive with multifocal glasses that have photochromic lenses. But I don’t have a problem with that at all!
