@Spili I've sent you a personal message

Thanks for the feedback. I never really saw a reason to run a tracklog while navigating a route. The timeline is actually really neat. I may play with this a little more.

@Corjan-Meijerink Excellent! A great feature.

@Roger-Doidge ah, that’s another question.
So this is something we wish to improve later on.

For now the routes made available offline are located in your account page (open menu, then click top right on account icon) and choose “Downloads”. Here you can find your route.

Also: offline maps are only applicable to the Navigation module. The map you see when directly opening the app does require internet at all times (although it does cache to some limit).

Sometimes it´s so easy. 😉

Thank you!

@Nick-Hodge That's cool! 🙂

@Corjan-Meijerink Wow another great feature I will look forward to using...keep up the great work...👍

@Corjan-Meijerink said in Navigation is still running when the unit is switched off:

That’s another point of discussion @David-Bonner
But we can agree that locking your screen won’t ever result in the navigation session being terminated. That’s just something you don’t want and no app does 🙂

NOTE: Related to BMW Connected App Only!

Interestingly, over VERY many interactions with the 'Ride Connected' team (BMW Connected app). They make a point, and indeed have real issues (predominantly with iOS) with the phone screen being switched off. These of course may be technical issue not present in MRA.

All I know (over 5 years and 4 motorcycles) powering the screen off allows the connected app to sleep (and therefore fail) and indeed, allowing another app focus (e.g. spotify) can also allow the app to sleep.

Caveats:

BMW have to display on the TFT (not the phone) so why would you navigate with the phone off with MRA!

MRA do not have the media, phone issues, BMW have

This is purely, In my experience an iOS issue irrespective of settings in iOS for the app. e.g. 'Always allow xxxxxxx', 'Precise Location', 'Network Access', etc.

So I've done the permanent install. Wired the power supply into the bikes switched accessories power via this kit...

Electrical Connection Update Kit

Routed harness to the right side of the bike and installed the power supply there...

Wiring routed up through the backbone of the frame and out the left side...

Display mounted. Phone resides in windshield bag with power routed to it from the USB port.

The red arrow points to a Chargie...

https://chargie.org/

As mentioned before... The Chargie manages battery charging and temperature. AFAIK there are generally two ways to get this kind of control... Software which requires rooting the phone and this hardware approach. The Chargie works pretty well for this task.

Overall I'm pretty pleased with this setup. The phone (battery/heat/cold/elements) won't get stressed and the CP/AA display works great. I've tried an intercom system with it. Everything pairs and works as expected. As discussed before.. Some had mentioned that they don't like that the display unit doesn't have an internal battery to prevent power cycles/reboots when you start the bike etc. This has absolutely not been a problem. The display unit powers up and reconnects to everything within 30 seconds. If you had a Nav session going before shutdown (say stopping for gas), the route/navigation session is still there when the system reboots and reconnects.

The only nit that I've found so far is that the BINIZE unit's firmware version doesn't yet have the Android Auto volume controls. Other "brands" have already provided the firmware update for that. Right now I'm using my iPhone, so it's not a problem. But sooner or later, I'll want to update the firmware.

@Corjan-Meijerink I also saw that the higher screen sensitivity was disabled for some reason. Maybe with the latest update as I normally had it set to on. 🤔. This could explain some issues I had today.

@Corjan-Meijerink Yes I agree, also the font (distance to next waypoint) on the next waypoint icon in the top right corner is hard to see at a glance, if the front size could be just a little larger it would make all the difference.

@Arjan-de-Vries Fijn om te horen dat het verder beviel.

We zullen naar het probleem van de nummering kijken. We werken momenteel aan een functie om gemakkelijk de navigatie te hervatten, dat zou dat probleem moeten oplossen Offline navigatie is zeker aan te raden als er een slechte internet verbinding is, de kaarten van de regio waar je rijdt moeten dan echter wel zijn gedownload

Dank voor de feedback!

@Nick-Carthew

Thanks for your reply, I didn't realise there was a cost involved.
I had noticed that from what3words i can hit "Navigate" and it gives me the option to use "Google Maps", "OsmAnd" and "Garmin Drive" but not "MRA".

@Vitor that's because this auto-skip function is not yet operational!

@Corné-Voogt said in BarButtons:

@Jörgen item 1 is a known issue. Item 2 is a bug MRA are working on is what I heard.
New firmware for BB when available can be found here https://jaxeadv.com/barbuttons/using-the-barbuttons/
Updates are announced on facebook: JaxeADV.
Update via Wifi eg hotspot on your phone.

Thank you!

@Frank-Schurer Dit willen we in CarPlay nog verbeteren! 🙂

I fully agree that the information for the next waypoint is unnecessary and disturbing. I have disabled it on the screen layout, but it still shows up by the instructions.

@Kudee the one we have is very outdated 🙂 We aim to create a new one around summer.

3 dagen app gebruikt en dan denk je waarom elke keer herberekenen als punt niet geheel correct staat of je gewoon niet verder kan door werkzaamheden. ik volg discussie dat als route punten overslaan mogelijk is dat herberekenen aan kan staan maar ik denk geef gebruiker optie zoals in mijn zumo's. ik vind vaak wel weg terug naar route en in afgelopen 3 dagen was herberekenen van app meestal ja maar dat wil ik niet.
