Hi everyone!
Coming week update 4.4.0 will be released to the public!
This update might not have the most spectacular changes but I'm sure you will be happy with it! Why? After a very long time of working together with HERE we identified why some users still experience a massive amount of battery usage. This update is the first in which that is reduced!
The first? Yes! More updates to come for sure regarding issue now that we know where to look. After testing on a lot of different devices we see a relative improvement of ~20%. Note: not all devices had this issue and not all devices will experience the same improvement.
That said, I am confident everyone will have a smoother app experience and less strain on the CPU / GPU leading to better battery life and charging capabilities.
What else is new in this update:
The route "eat-up" is now seamless meaning that the route line won't have a weird animation anymore where the progress (part you drove) was ahead or far behind your current position
Fixed an issue where the start page map position would not show your heading correctly
Fixed issue where tap to recalculate would not trigger
Support new SilverFox firmware (soon to be released by them, solving issue where long press a button also resulted in short press being triggered)
Improved contrast in menu's when navigating them with a bluetooth controller
Minor improvements to waypoint skip algorithm
Internal updates
Curious to learn your experiences regarding the battery usage! Do know that more improvements will be coming
Cheers,
Corjan
