Position delay/lag quick fix - which app works, which do not?

[Peter Verweij]

Here also on both an iPhone SE 2020 and a Google Pixel 7, there is a significant delay and therefore worthless to start and promote use in our Oldtimer Club.
If there is a solution please do, because this makes all other great solutions within MRA unusable.

No delay

Hahahaha Although it was the idea to post the phones that do have a delay, your response is always welcome ...

Ok, ok,

Today with
Oukitel tablet RT3
Android 12,
MRA 4.1.2 V 303
No other GPS tool running
Big delay (20-30m)

With Altimeter App runing in the background

No or acceptable delay.

Awesome! This is the kind of information that may be useful for @Corjan-Meijerink to feedback to HERE, or HERE can read this forum thread haha.

[Corjan Meijerink]

With genuine enthusiasm I can announce that the position delay will be fixed in the upcoming 4.1.3 update!

Thanks for testing @Stefan-Hummelink
He had an Android device that displayed the issue consistently and now that is gone! Therefore I can only conclude that our efforts were not in vain!

Thanks for testing @Stefan-Hummelink

So glad and proud that I was able to contribute to your solution!

@Corjan-Meijerink Great news ! One more step towards a solid reliable app. I plan to stay away from AA and CP for the foreseeable future.

@Yannick-b Thanks for your response!
Luckily for us, the dev's managed to fix this delay issue in total in the latest Beta release. This version will eventually become the public release but you'll have to wait a bit

I can confirm that the latest Beta solved the delay issue for me!

[Yannick R]

@Stefan-Hummelink i am an beta user
my last update was on 9-5.
That day i still had the delay

[Stefan Hummelink]

@Yannick-b Can you please tell us which beta version you were actually running during that treft in 9-5?

[Yannick R]

@Stefan-Hummelink i dont know. I see that the app has had an update on the same day. I assume it was updated after my ride.

[Stefan Hummelink]

@Yannick-b hmmm okay, does the latest beta version not show any improvement at all?

[Yannick R]

@Stefan-Hummelink i need to test it. Maybe tomorrow with android auto.

[Yannick R]

@Stefan-Hummelink works nice now!

[Stefan Hummelink]

@Yannick-R Thanks for the confirmation!

[Tom Brady]

@Stefan-Hummelink Ive just started using MRA Next with android auto and experiencing the delay refered to in this thread. Is it still being worked or resolved as suggested above? Im using a Google Pixel 7 phone so any update would be welcomed.

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Tom-Brady should definitely be resolved!
If using Android Auto without having the app open on the phone itself, make sure location access is set to “always”

[Tom Brady]

@Corjan-Meijerink I have the setting to always but no difference. I've also tried running another nav app in the background as suggested in previous posts but no joy. The arrow position relative to the junction is correct on my phone it is just the position on android auto that lags.

[Tom Brady]

@Tom-Brady . Do you have any other suggestions? I feel this issue combined with the lack of zoom is unfortunately making the app unusable with android auto.

[Nick Carthew]

@Tom-Brady This problem was fixed for most, if not all AndroidAuto users some time ago. You say that there is no lag on the phone while using MRA, what about when using Google maps, does your AA device lag? It seems to me that the app is working perfectly and the problem could be a slow Bluetooth connection between your phone and AA device, maybe you should delete the connection completely and re-establish a new Bluetooth connection. As for zoom in AA, if you have the zoom set to Dynamic on the phone your AA screen will auto zoom to whatever level you have chosen in the navigation settings of the app.
