MyRoute-app & BarButtons - control our app using a bluetooth keyboard
-
I'm pro for a bluetooth controller possibility within the app. You should make it so that the user can load dirrent profiles for different controllers, like for the MRA controller or a profile for BWM, or make a custom profile if they want to... That way you're not obligated to create a MRA controller.
Why shouldn't you make a MRA controller? First of all, small quantity production so it will cost a lot to produce and distribute... Also has to be waterproof and then there's the warranty situation...I'm currently using a waterproof phone but I'm thinking of using a waterproof cellphone holder just to be shure so manupulating the phone with gloves will be hard. A BT controller would be super in combination with the app.
@Pletse we will definitely support more devices and different keymappings. As we speak a WunderLINQ device is sent to us so we can work on the BMW integration shortly!
A MRA controller is something fun on the side. With the possibility of unique features for MRA. We won’t create it ourselves, that’s why we are in touch with BarButtons.

@Maicro Happy to hear your enthusiasm!
This is exactly why we are looking into these integrations.To answer your questions (and @Jörgen), given the price I’d buy it now if you are enthusiastic. The product might be redesigned or get a custom branding but feature wise it won’t change a lot!
@Maicro skipping waypoint is possible already! See demo video. It’s a long press on a button. Zooming works too! However when navigating the camera stops following you when you changed the zoom. This is however a feature that will be added in the app!

In the end, I couldn't wait and bought it.
I got it today. But unfortunately, it is malfunctioning. Button 1 has a clumsy feel to it, it's badly fitted and makes bad contact. When zooming in it instantly zooms in again without pressing it.
I have written to Joost Bijl to see what solution he has and sent him these two videos.

@Maicro happy it’s sorted!

Great to see this happening - what’s the latest? I’d love to be able to use my Thork racing “Adventure Controller”.
Just a view on the Bar Buttons options - they would be fine on road but I think a bit too complex for off road riding. Just a thought.

@Nin in the next public update we will support WunderLINQ and possibly SilverFox too
Never heard of this type device but if they use similar configurations as the previous listed, it should work -

Brilliant work guys. So many more operations possible within the app now using the buttons. Selection of routes, starting Nav, adjusting route preferences, changing settings etc. Zoom and map panning works great. Thanks guys.
Only thing I noticed was I couldn’t seem to restart a route using Barbuttons after stopping navigation. Is this possible now or will it be?
Still fantastic without though.

@Corjan-Meijerink do you have an update when to expect the MRA bar button version?
@Eric-Minschart Not any time soon! It would however still be the same device as the available BarButtons only with some custom branding / different pricing
We are waiting for some new BarButtons prototypes and then might reconsider it.

-
"help, i need fuel now" button leading immediately to the nearest petrol station , and then back to the route
-
"zoom to a square of 1 by 1 km and remove anything else from the screen for as long as i keep this button pushed, "
The risk is that we would end up with a 100+ button keyboard
but that could be solved by configuration?In general, tinkering with a keyboard is not a safe option while driving, so to limit the time spent on it I would be interested in complex functions for this barbutton thing that go beyond excecuting basic instructions one by one, and this brings me back to the "speed screen" that I suggested some time ago.

ich habe auch eine Anfrage an Joost gestellt, aber es stellt sich jetzt doch noch folgende Frage der Kopplung an zwei Geräte gleichzeitig.Mir stellt sich die Frage der Bluetooth Kopplung des IPhone Xr mit MyRoute-App, mit der Kopplung zum TFT an der GS, geht denn dann auch gleichzeitig die Kopplung mit dem BarButtons System ?
- TFT der R1250GS
- Handy IPhone Xr 17.0.2
- BarButtons Tasten von Joost
Ich möchte die MyRoute-App Ansagen über mein Headset hören das ist mit dem TFT gekoppelt und gleichzeitig ja das Handy mit dem TFT das geht mittlerweile sehr gut.
Geht dann zusätzlich das System BarButtons und alles zusammen funktioniert dann auch ?

So you can use BB on your phone while also having a headset connected and your TFT screen. You can however only use th BB for handling your phone.
