    Hey everyone! 👋

    Today is the day for another big update! We've fixed the most crucial issue in the app and added / tweaked a lot of functionalities! We're pretty sure that you will be very pleased with this update ❤

    It will be available somewhere between today and tomorrow 🙂

    Obviously we gave this update a good test about which you can read here: https://forum.myrouteapp.com/topic/4379/alpha-test-result

    Position delay
    Finally the day is here that we can announce that the position delay in the app has been fixed! 🎉 🎉 Not a lot of images to share or to write about but this is the most important change of the update! I’d simply recommend that you all go out and enjoy the weather to experience it for yourself.

    App walkthrough
    As we are approaching the release, we need to make sure that users understand the app! Therefore we’ve added two walkthroughs in the app 😏

    • The first explains the basic functionalities of the app previously known as the “Mobile” app. This will allows users to understand where they can find which features.
    • The second walkthrough explains the layout of the navigation module and the important nifty little features you can find there. For example tapping the ETA field.

    walkthrough.png

    Can the walkthroughs be skipped? No! It only takes a few click and we believe it adds a lot of information about the app, such that everybody should see it at least once 😉

    Improved tilt / zoom (dynamic camera)
    In almost every update we tried to accomplish this. However..... we were stupid and missed a very stupid little detail. This explained all the user reports where they mentioned that the map would not be tilted at all 😞 So now we can finally say that the dynamic camera correctly tilts in all scenario’s. This means that you will always have a tilted view! You don’t want that? Keep on reading!

    field_of_depth.png

    Fixed camera & zoom buttons
    You knew that tapping the compass would cycle between the dynamic camera (automatic tilt & zoom) and the fixed camera (top-down view). In the fixed mode, north would always be facing up. This has been changed so that your heading faces up (like the dynamic camera).
    In this camera mode the camera will always show a top-down (no tilt) view and you may choose your own zoom level using the new zoom buttons!

    zoom_buttons.png

    UI rework of tracking button
    Adding the previously mentioned zoom buttons was a pain in the ass regarding the layout. Therefore we reworked some buttons to make better use of available space 😍 Tapping the tracklog button now pops out the different options. This allows a more scalable solution for adding buttons to the map. The same type of button has been used for the zoom buttons.

    Building layout
    Some people prefer 3D buildings 🏢 on the map (like the app was until today) but others hated it. You can now choose this for yourself!

    • “Off” doesn’t show any buildings
    • “2D” only shows the footprint of buildings (this is now the default setting)
    • “3D” shows them like you were used to
      We thought it would be best to make 2D the default as this is what most people seem to prefer.

    building_render.png

    Where can you change this setting? Map layout might be a good place to look.

    Long routes issue
    The app wasn’t able to calculate the fastest route to a destination far away (> 600km). This has now been fixed! 🙂
    A nice extra is that the calculated fastest route now matches the selected suggested route when starting navigation.

    Traffic preference
    In the functional navigation settings there was a setting to toggle “Traffic information”. This has been renamed to “Traffic aware route calculation”. When enabled the map will show traffic jams and takes them into account when calculating the route 🚗 🚗 🚗
    Using routes from the website? The behavior in the app and routeplanner are aligned! This ensures that you always drive the route exactly as you planned it.

    settings.png

    Improved waypoint list
    The waypoint list is a great tool to show the passed and remainder of your route.
    As of this update it actually opens at the upcoming waypoint, the menu cannot be closed accidentally anymore and we’ve added a visual distinction between the passed, current and upcoming waypoints.

    Resume navigation issue
    When resuming a previous navigation session sometimes the incorrect waypoint was used. This issue has been fixed! 😃

    Bad internet & login page
    If you had a bad internet connection the login page would sometimes appear. We’ve made improvements to prevent this from happening. If you still encounter it, please let us know!

    Creating scenic routes & round tours
    Fixed two major frustrations regarding the route creation menu:

    • It cannot be closed anymore by swiping it down
    • When changing the travel mode the calculated route now also updates appropriately

    roundtours.png

    Offline mode indicator
    Are you driving in offline mode? We’ve added a nice little indicator to show this.

    Track navigation validation
    When loading a track in navigation, you sometimes see warnings about errors in the route. This popup is purely informational but can be frustrating if you drive a lot of tracks. If you really don’t care about the warning, it can be turned off from the functional navigation settings 😉

    Using TomTom / OSM routes
    If you open a route created in the TomTom / OSM map for navigation, we now display a warning that the calculated route might differ from the planned route. This makes sense because the app uses HERE as foundation of the navigation. You may choose to accept any (possible) differences for what it is or load it as track. Using track navigation ensures you drive exactly what you planned but you loose all waypoint functionality.

    here_warning.png

    What's next?

    The release is approaching fast! With this update we are confident that the app is ready for a great release 🎉 In the remaining two weeks the most important issues we will work on and make sure that they are fixed are:

    • Offline maps download stability / lack of progress
    • Voice prompt stability & configuration options
    • Battery usage

    Obviously we still got some other minor features we want to implement but the above will be the focus. Besides that, we'll keep on processing all your feedback 🙂

    Looking forward to your experiences with this update!

    Best,
    Corjan

    @Corjan-Meijerink

    Different Map Recomended?
    I get a notification that my route was created with OSM, however this is not correct as I only use the Here map exclusively?

    Update: This only seems to happen the first time opening a Route from the Downloads folder.
    Opening the route a second time does not give the message.

    You don’t stop riding when you get old, you get old when you stop riding.

      @Corjan-Meijerink prachtig, bedankt voor dit mooie resultaat!! Ga hem komende week uitgebreid testen 🙂

      Heb wel een vraag over de verkeersinformatie. Stel dat de verkeerssituatie tijdens het rijden van een A > B route (berekend in de app) veranderd (file door een ongeval bijvoorbeeld), wordt dit dan ook automatisch opgepakt door de app of kom ik achterin de rij te staan?

            @Dave-J-0 @CD130 We only inform you about the delays. When recalculating (because you deviate for example) the fastest route will always be calculated and this takes traffic into consideration (when turned on).

            Actively finding faster routes is something we wish to add later 🙂

                    Obviously we gave this update a good test about which you can read here: https://forum.myrouteapp.com/topic/4379/alpha-test-result

                    Position delay
                    Finally the day is here that we can announce that the position delay in the app has been fixed! 🎉 🎉 Not a lot of images to share or to write about but this is the most important change of the update! I’d simply recommend that you all go out and enjoy the weather to experience it for yourself.

                    App walkthrough
                    As we are approaching the release, we need to make sure that users understand the app! Therefore we’ve added two walkthroughs in the app 😏

                    • The first explains the basic functionalities of the app previously known as the “Mobile” app. This will allows users to understand where they can find which features.
                    • The second walkthrough explains the layout of the navigation module and the important nifty little features you can find there. For example tapping the ETA field.

                    walkthrough.png

                    Can the walkthroughs be skipped? No! It only takes a few click and we believe it adds a lot of information about the app, such that everybody should see it at least once 😉

                    Improved tilt / zoom (dynamic camera)
                    In almost every update we tried to accomplish this. However..... we were stupid and missed a very stupid little detail. This explained all the user reports where they mentioned that the map would not be tilted at all 😞 So now we can finally say that the dynamic camera correctly tilts in all scenario’s. This means that you will always have a tilted view! You don’t want that? Keep on reading!

                    field_of_depth.png

                    Fixed camera & zoom buttons
                    You knew that tapping the compass would cycle between the dynamic camera (automatic tilt & zoom) and the fixed camera (top-down view). In the fixed mode, north would always be facing up. This has been changed so that your heading faces up (like the dynamic camera).
                    In this camera mode the camera will always show a top-down (no tilt) view and you may choose your own zoom level using the new zoom buttons!

                    zoom_buttons.png

                    UI rework of tracking button
                    Adding the previously mentioned zoom buttons was a pain in the ass regarding the layout. Therefore we reworked some buttons to make better use of available space 😍 Tapping the tracklog button now pops out the different options. This allows a more scalable solution for adding buttons to the map. The same type of button has been used for the zoom buttons.

                    Building layout
                    Some people prefer 3D buildings 🏢 on the map (like the app was until today) but others hated it. You can now choose this for yourself!

                    • “Off” doesn’t show any buildings
                    • “2D” only shows the footprint of buildings (this is now the default setting)
                    • “3D” shows them like you were used to
                      We thought it would be best to make 2D the default as this is what most people seem to prefer.

                    building_render.png

                    Where can you change this setting? Map layout might be a good place to look.

                    Long routes issue
                    The app wasn’t able to calculate the fastest route to a destination far away (> 600km). This has now been fixed! 🙂
                    A nice extra is that the calculated fastest route now matches the selected suggested route when starting navigation.

                    Traffic preference
                    In the functional navigation settings there was a setting to toggle “Traffic information”. This has been renamed to “Traffic aware route calculation”. When enabled the map will show traffic jams and takes them into account when calculating the route 🚗 🚗 🚗
                    Using routes from the website? The behavior in the app and routeplanner are aligned! This ensures that you always drive the route exactly as you planned it.

                    settings.png

                    Improved waypoint list
                    The waypoint list is a great tool to show the passed and remainder of your route.
                    As of this update it actually opens at the upcoming waypoint, the menu cannot be closed accidentally anymore and we’ve added a visual distinction between the passed, current and upcoming waypoints.

                    Resume navigation issue
                    When resuming a previous navigation session sometimes the incorrect waypoint was used. This issue has been fixed! 😃

                    Bad internet & login page
                    If you had a bad internet connection the login page would sometimes appear. We’ve made improvements to prevent this from happening. If you still encounter it, please let us know!

                    Creating scenic routes & round tours
                    Fixed two major frustrations regarding the route creation menu:

                    • It cannot be closed anymore by swiping it down
                    • When changing the travel mode the calculated route now also updates appropriately

                    roundtours.png

                    Offline mode indicator
                    Are you driving in offline mode? We’ve added a nice little indicator to show this.

                    Track navigation validation
                    When loading a track in navigation, you sometimes see warnings about errors in the route. This popup is purely informational but can be frustrating if you drive a lot of tracks. If you really don’t care about the warning, it can be turned off from the functional navigation settings 😉

                    Using TomTom / OSM routes
                    If you open a route created in the TomTom / OSM map for navigation, we now display a warning that the calculated route might differ from the planned route. This makes sense because the app uses HERE as foundation of the navigation. You may choose to accept any (possible) differences for what it is or load it as track. Using track navigation ensures you drive exactly what you planned but you loose all waypoint functionality.

                    What's next?

                    The release is approaching fast! With this update we are confident that the app is ready for a great release 🎉 In the remaining two weeks the most important issues we will work on and make sure that they are fixed are:

                    • Offline maps download stability / lack of progress
                    • Voice prompt stability & configuration options
                    • Battery usage

                    Obviously we still got some other minor features we want to implement but the above will be the focus. Besides that, we'll keep on processing all your feedback 🙂

                    Looking forward to your experiences with this update!

                      @Dave-J-0 @CD130 We only inform you about the delays. When recalculating (because you deviate for example) the fastest route will always be calculated and this takes traffic into consideration (when turned on).

                      Actively finding faster routes is something we wish to add later 🙂

                              Wat ik nog mis naast de flitscamera’s is de gemiddelde snelheid die je rijdt bij traject controles. In mijn omgeving zijn zijn er die veel. TomTom heeft dat goed voor elkaar en is de enige reden dat ik dat ook nog gebruik. Hopenlijk kun je dit na de relase nog inbouwen.

                                @Hans-van-de-Weem dat zou inderdaad heel nuttig zijn! Flitsmeister heeft dat ook. Verder is het team natuurlijk goed bezig ! 🙂
