    I have just tried V6, and I must say that an excellent job has been done with this new version; it represents a significant leap in quality. I have nothing but praise for the developer(s). That said, I would like to offer a few suggestions. I own a TomTom Rider 550, and I recently purchased a Carpuride 702 Plus—which runs on Android 14—on which I have installed the MyRoute-app (I do not use Android Auto). I have included an image of my setup to illustrate my suggestions. I must acknowledge that TomTom has managed to fit all the necessary information onto a 5-inch screen, and one of its greatest strengths is the side progress bar, which I find very useful. I believe there is ample room in the white space at the bottom left to place such a progress bar; that area currently feels underutilized. In any case, it could be implemented just as TomTom does—by making the progress bar optional. If you look closely, TomTom’s bar also displays upcoming gas stations along the route. This approach could be adopted, potentially replacing the black box that currently shows the distance to the next gas station, thereby freeing up more space for the map. The Carpuride 702 is sufficiently large (7 inches), and it works well for me as it is; I would simply add the progress bar in that space, where it would fit perfectly. Additionally, the blue box in the top-left corner seems excessively large and could be reduced. I offer these suggestions primarily with smaller devices in mind.

    Hello,
    I’m curious whether the next turn instruction—specifically the text below the arrow—is displayed in a larger font in the new Android app. In the previous version, the font size in that area was simply too small for a mobile phone, making it difficult to read while riding a motorcycle in bright sunlight. During a 1,000 km trip, I found that even my TomTom Rider 400 offered better visibility regarding the distance to the next turn. I would really appreciate a larger font size for this information. It seems to be well-implemented on your Carpuride unit. I agree with you that the info bar on the TomTom is well-designed.

    @Daniel-7 the new V6 does display the distances in a larger format for both the next & 2nd next turns
    the distances are now to the side of the direction arrows instead of below

    BlackView BV7100, Android 12
    USED to navigate "Routes as Tracks" in Offline mode with Offline Maps
    No Wifi, no internet, no interruptions, worked well
    Track navigation deprecated without explanation so jury is out on how well things work now!

      As we already have a progress bar at the bottom that can easily be shown if needed, I suggested placing some information there, such as the two nearest petrol stations. This information could be useful. I also miss the old TT bar. 🙂

          whateve we add , I hope the user can select wether its shown or not (like we can for some already).
          For my use cases I am e.g. not interested in the fuel stations or progress bar.
          But what I do miss is to have the name of the next point visible all the time (and not only just before arriving there). I know my points by name (and not by number) and I would like to know where I am driving to...

            Si, lo ideal es que cada usuario pueda activar o desactivar lo que desea. Y sobre lo del nombre visible del próximo punto, me parece una excelente idea.. tb esto podria ser activable o no ..

              Testuję wersję V6 na android auto i oprócz spostrzeżeń wyżej jeszcze jedna sugestia: na ekranie AA jest informacja o stacji paliw w pobliżu, niestety kliknięcie w nią nic nie robi tak jakby przycisk/info było nie aktywne. Na telefonie gdy kliknę od razu pojawia sie komunikat czy dodać stację do aktualne trasy (załączone foto) tmp-1794381140590_social_1264x1580.jpg fajnie by było jak można to było obsługiwać z AA
              Jeszcze jedna uwaga (nie wiem może źle to robię ale podczas pracy off-line nie ma możliwości wyszukiwania miejsc (pojawia się info, że wymagany jest internet) ale np. jeśli mam pobrane mapy Marocco - tam jest problem z internetem, program nie może wyszukiwać offline z map które ma zainstalowane?

                Unfortunately, clicking it doesn't do anything

                I would say this wouldn't be particularly useful as long as the gas station is always on the main route and you don't have to take a detour or navigate separately to reach it.

                Best regards,

                    Why is that useful?
                    Just like @adrian-avram said. As long as the mentioned station are on the route. You will arrive there no matter what.

                      @M.-Schrijver but if they are not ON the route but let’s say 200 meter Off the route, It could be nice

                        Then you will still see it appearing on the map when riding.

                            Also in V6? In V5 it was something I did not understand.
