Gisteren een rit gedaan met Android Auto.
Een paar dingen vielen mij op.
Op het Android Auto scherm ging alles goed. Maar op mijn telefoon scherm had ik vaak dat er geen kaart zichtbaar was.
Zodra ik de verbinding met Android Auto verbrak was er wel weer een kaart.

Het stroomverbruik was erg hoog.
Ik heb vorige week ook een route gereden van ongeveer dezelfde lengte. Toen was het stroomverbruik niet zo hoog. Na 3 uur rijden accu was ongeveer 5% kwijt.
Er was 1 groot verschil tussen vorige week en gisteren. Vorige week geen herberekeningen. Gisteren zijn er veel herberekeningen gedaan tijdens het rijden. De meeste in een klein gebied. Juist in deze periode zakte de acculading snel weg. Na 5 uur rijden was ik 60% kwijt.
De telefoon wordt via de Android Auto kabel van stroom voorzien.

Using the new beta on my motorcycle with CarPlay, I have observed that there is a difference from the previous one related to the audio of the navigation instructions. Before, I used the navigation channel for the instructions.
Since the last beta for the same instructions, use the channel identified as "Vol. Audio."
This causes problems since the radio is cut when it gives an instruction and you have to reactivate it, or it is mixed with the audio of the music causing cuts in the instructions.
Is it possible to return to the previous operation, and use the navigation channel for the instructions?
Thanks!!!

@Peter-Schiefer said in Suggestion for announcements:

Strange is that German words are spoken in English
Sample near cologne is a small village written „Much“. the german spelling is Mu like the „bu“ from butcher and the ch froh Machine has no englisch sound it is more a „chr“. MRA speak is like the english „(too) much“
So it is not a dialekt it is a problem of interpretation
And so the wording or speling especially of proper names could be funny.

The text to speech engine is coming from your phone, MRA does not supply text to speech.

The iPhone has 11 German voices to choose from.

@marty-3 You are a star!!!

Well done, admit it is quite well hidden 🙂

@Vlad-Popovici-0 exactly as @Nick-Carthew mentioned, quite some more issues as fixed 🙂

I don't know how it is in your area but in my area it is very usual to use approx 80-100 shaping points for a route with a length of 200-300 km.
That are a lot of points visible in my screen. Because there are a lot of shaping points, the Waypoints are invisible. While the Waypoints the points are which matters

I understand your second function of shaping points with color. That's why i suggested to hide all blue (standard color) shaping points. In this case shaping points with different colors will be visible. And then you see only the points which matters.

@Lynchy67 Nice run and your GPS is spot on. Mine is only like that with Flismeister running in the background. 🤣 Nice bike as well.

Today the winner is...
I have tried to download the Germam map again because of App update. Today it took about 10 hours.

@Dave-J-0 said in Next instruction problem and request.:

Apple Maps, Google Maps, Sygic and TomTom apps just show the direction of the second turn if it is a short distance after the upcoming direction but with no distance.

This a nice thought!

I think that distance for really short following of instructions is not very meaningful anyway (e.g. turn right and immediately left does not really need a distance at all). For distances of let's say 50 to 500 meters the distance is nice to know in advance, and specifically in that scenario I have absolutely no problem with it being static from the first instruction. For greater distances knowing them that early has no benefit because they will turn into the first instruction anyway after passing the previous one.

People seem to look at those info tiles a lot. For myself I can say that I seldomly look at them at all. The routeline itself is leading for me, and it also tells me if a second turn is close or not.

Traffic warnings and reached destination pop ups are great and have worked well during use today. One little request, they disappear too quick and I find that I do not have time to read what the ‘pop up’ is saying if I am in a busy traffic environment. Personally, I could do with at least another five seconds (or configurable) before the pop up auto closes. Useful to know what others think.

Hello Filip, if you would take a look into the manual, you will see this under CarPlay:

The developments for this are not finished yet, so check our communication channels for new Updates!

So all CarPlay functions are not yet finished.

@NineLizards, I see your question has been answered perfectly fine by @RetiredWingMan 😉

in short:

download offline maps enable sync (preferably all, then you will never have to look at it) let it complete a sync once, it will resync every time you start the app or enter the routes menu automatically and download changes only (if there are any) enable offline navigation in the app menu

No need for confusion ever again (concerning offline routes that is... 😉 )

@Andrew said in Always says first exit at roundabout regardless of actual exit shown:

I have a problem where the phone shows correct exit at roundabout but the AAuto screen always shows just a left or right turn for roundabouts.

I see this also - Google pixel 8 MRA 4.1.2, Android Auto via Carpuride 702

I don't thimk it is simply a screen issue.
For high contrast = readability in sunlight a proper choice of colors is much more important.
A retired photographer recommended me, switch your color tables to greyscale and then choose for landscapes etc. and roads just the opposite colors.
Michelin overlay colors are a good example.

@Bouke-Ent
I am with you, some users have houndrets of route in several files and need only a few for the next vacation, week, whatever.

But it is as it is, some prefer this, some not and MRA trust in their way, which is sometimes a bit different to usual common practices in computer based handling. So what, the advantages of MRA predominate up to now, even with some frustration coming up and unexpected reactions.
Yeterday I am back home and made my standard test and I had a lot of problems with verbal announcements of the POIs with 335. Informations are announced by random. No preannouncement but confirmation. preannouncement of POI1 but confirmation „You reached no 1“ when I reached the Sp 2, nothing was called for WP 5.
An i folow the roules for announcemts and before 4.3. it works on the same route.
I am meanwhile also frustrated to write about this and stop here.

Regard to your concern
My solution for easy access to my routes I want to use next session I create a folder „AA routes for use“ which is by alphabetic order the first file on the screen. Those routes I need will be copied in this folder with the same name and the appendix -copy- they get automatically.
The originals stays in their folder and when the session is over it is easy to delete only the copies.

@Corjan-Meijerink wil je svp nog kijken naar het te voet afleggen van de routes want daar is het probleem niet opgelost.

@Con-Hennekens het “probleem” waar ik in het openingsbericht tegenaan loop is nog niet opgelost helaas.

De route maak ik in de OSM kaartlaag en dan zonder de navigatie te starten kan ik die zonder herberekening in de app volgen.
