New Beta! (v4.0.4)

@Corjan-Meijerink said in New Beta! (v4.0.4):
thanks! Ofcourse I can elaborate
1: The actual action (eg. Turn left now)
2: Furthest possible notification (eg. Turn left in 5km)
3: Distance reminder (eg. Turn left in 500m)
4: General reminder (eg. Turn left in 2km)
Each number includes the preceding numbers so to say
The first is the only one guaranteed to existWow, this is difficult to decide on when starting to think about it.
I would probably want to turn it around:
1: The actual action (eg. Turn left now), I always want to hear
3: Distance reminder (eg. Turn left in 500m), I always want to hear as it is useful at any speed and any road
4: General reminder (eg. Turn left in 2km) i want to hear sometimes depending whether I go fast or not
2: Furthest possible notification (eg. Turn left in 5km) I maybe don't need as I am never racing and will already have forgotten the instruction by the time I get to the turning point.

and me! and well done again Corjan

@Corjan-Meijerink ok. That makes sense. For me, I would prefer if the number 2 was number 4 and then 3 and 4 became 2 and 3 repaectively. Useful to know what others think and will go with the flow.
. Btw, the grey screen problem on resume does seem to be cured despite my best efforts to break it. 
Great job.Same here, I spent 30 minutes on a bus loading routes with not a single grey screen in sight.

@Corjan-Meijerink I have to admit I assumed the extra prompts would push them further out. The order surprised me (and no-one could guess it, I reckon!)
I had already set mine to 2 expecting the 500m and 'Now' prompts. I'm glad you explained it, but I recommend the options extend in distance with increasing number, since that's more logical - and you won't have to keep explaining it.
Then people who navigate by mostly audio will probably pick option 3 or 4.
And those who navigate mostly by the map will probably pick 1 or 2 (me) - or switch the audio off.I've now gone back to 3. That is, until you change it.

Just in time for the weekend!
The previous Beta had some awesome new features and we try to continue on the same pace. The update might not contain the biggest changes but nonetheless enough good stuff to start releasing it to the public
Detailed lane assistance
Where applicable (mostly highways), you can now enable the app to show a detailed image of the lanes you should use.
This information is only available on the primary roads. Within the screen layout settings, you can configure the lane instruction to be off / simple / detailed. The simple setting represents the lane instructions as you are used too
Spoken waypoint information
In the previous update, we changed the layout of presenting waypoint information.
In the the audio settings of the app, you can choose between waypoint notifications off / via / all.
- Off: never spoken
- Via: only viapoints are mentioned
- All: both via- and shapingpoints are mentioned
In the previous app version, this would just be a generic notification about approaching a waypoint. In the update, a feature unique for MRA is added. The title and possible description of the waypoint are actually read to you!
Note: if the title of a waypoint is merely an address and no description is present, we do not read it to you. If you truly want a waypoint to be read to you; either ensure no numbers are present in the name or add a description.
Improved warnings for motorhomes
To ensure y'all do not crash your motorhomes into tunnels, we enhanced the warnings specifically for your vehicle dimensions.
If you exceed (or are very close to) the dimensions of the upcoming road, you receive an audio / visual warning. We also added the applicable restrictions as icons to the map.
Note: these are only displayed when driving a motorhome route. Ensure you set your vehicle dimensions correctly
Voice prompt configuration
Quite some people were annoyed with the amount of voice prompts you would get for each instruction. You can now select an amount between 1 and 4 voice prompts per instruction.
The lower the number, the less instructions you receive.Note: 0 is not available because if you do not want any voice prompts, just turn it off
Automatically start tracking
Do you often forget starting a tracklog? Simply turn on this setting! When driving a (scenic) route, the tracklog will automatically start.Note: AB routes won't be recorded automatically
Updated settings
More settings as described above are available. These are the updated settings.
Automatic resuming and recenter camera
Ever had a brake and forgot to resume your tracklog?
Did you had a drop of rain messing with your screen?Issues of the past! When we detect you are moving, a paused tracklog will automatically resume and the camera will refocus on your position after 5 seconds of continuous movement.
Note: only works while navigating and cannot be turned off
Fixed issues
- Grey screen (mostly Android) when resuming navigation
- Audio channel configuration iOS - this should solve the volume issues / radio interrupt you were experiencing
- Some Android Auto stability improvements
Minor changes
- Account screen can be used when not logged in - allowing users to change settings or view their downloads even when not logged in.
- After editing a route and going back to the app, the app refreshes the information about that route
- Improved adding favorites - you can now immediately edit a saved favorite
That's it
So what is coming up?
- Still investigating and working on a solution for battery usage with HERE
- Android Auto & CarPlay stability
- Android Auto & CarPlay features
- Next update will contain nearby fuel stops!
Have an awesome weekend. Looking forward to the feeback.
Cheers,
Corjan@Corjan-Meijerink I am loving this update especially the lane and audio (reading the added info)

@richtea999 totally agree with you. I was curious when I tried the new version which is why I asked the question. I hope it will be changed to what people are saying here as I had assumed the same.

@Corjan-Meijerink any update on offline usage? are you planning on improving at least the route downloads?

@Dave-J-0 currently if you want to download your routes, so you can use them with no internet connection, you have to download them one by one, and to see which one are downloaded you have to go to a completely different section of the app. This is one of the main reasons I'm still using mapy instead of myroute-app.

@cvlmtg no, not yet

Great new features! Compliment again for the MRA team!
Any idea when the iOS version will be available?
Can't wait to test the new version -
Great! Looking forward to test v4.0.4
Thanks for the hard work. -

@Corjan-Meijerink Again a nice upgrade, testing can start

Wow, what an amazing update again! Really! I have one small request though. I would really appreciate it if the tracklog also starts automatically during A to B navigation. I'd also love to be able to use the app to create a tracklog when I'm following someone without a predefined route, in the yet-to-be-existing "freeride mode," which has also received many requests for speed camera alerts. Then, I can happily remove my current tracklog recording app, and the MRA-app would truly be an all-in-one solution for me.
Keep up the great work!! Thank you
