Spoken notes are truncated

[Anonymouse]

We can enter notes which are read out when the waypoint is coming up. We use that facility to provide interesting info or context about whatever can be seen from the car. There might be 1-3 sentences depending on the sight.

Test environment: CarPlay
Issue: Only some of the note is read out.

Expected behaviour: All the note is read.
OR - admittedly it wasn’t truncated until quite a bit had been read - the part that won’t be read should be indicated as such eg grey font for that section when filling in the notes field.

This was a previously reported issue with the old MRA.

To test I used this data generated by ChatGPT. MRA read up to and including thirty-two then stopped. (There was no other waypoint or announcement at that part of the trip.)

That’s correct. To prevent it’s reading for minutes

Well the user interface should reflect that I think. Tell us how many seconds or grey out after a certain number of words?

Here is a real-world example. If it can only count to 32 I don’t know whether this would all be read out or not.

“ Stow is the highest of the Cotswolds towns and a major crossroad on the Fosse Way. It usually offers a traffic jam or two. It has hosted markets since 1107 and was one of the greatest sheep markets in England. In 1646 the last battle of the Civil War led to the capture of over a thousand royalists near here.”

Immediately I get reminded to the Mobland series. "We are the Harrigans!" Tomorrow, S2 E9...

Can we revert back to how the legacy note system works. The note can have a maximum of 512 characters including spaces. This seemed to work ok although it was the only option that we knew and we had nothing to compare it with. Having a fixed maximum length of note we know how long a note can be and we know it will all be read aloud.
