    @Tim-Thompson Thanks a lot, loving your input! Will look into it but not sure what I can achieve on a short notice. I am putting quite some work in the development of our apps and the upcoming Navigation Next 🙂

    @Corjan-Meijerink a good thing would be to have a "speed screen" on the navigator with maximum 8? buttons that can be selected / configured by the user.

    Like that everybody can reach their 8? preferred functions with a single click from the home screen instead of browsing through menus. Appears to be very handy to push eg " skip next waypoint"/"back to previous waypoint"/"switch on-off voiice/go home/etc... while driving.

    It is not difficult, it is easy, it's a hobby

      @Drabslab Thanks for this suggestion! I don’t really see how it’s connected to the topic but I’ll write it down. Please post suggestions like this in the appropriate channels so we can keep track of them! 🙂

        it isn't connected to the topic but reading this topic just made me think of it.

        Another one, comparing to the menu of the TomTom rider 400. In that TomTom all menu opitions such as "drive to", ride home", "my routes", "current route" etc... are in a single row and you can scroll from left to right or right to left with a few buttons. . This is a good system and very handy with gloves on but it would be better if that menu would be in a circle so that pushign beyond the last option would bring you back the first one if you understand what I mean.

            @Drabslab As a new post 🙂 Or in the suggestions in the Navigation Next forum section. But this obviously is not related to the app.

            Just makes it easier to find topics / messages as a whole rather than a single comment somewhere. But nevertheless, thanks for your input! 🙂

            Edit: it might be smart if we actually create a suggestions section for the website exactly for this purpose. I’ll see if that can be arranged

              @Tim-Thompson Thanks for the suggestion! Disabling the zoom requirement has 2 main downsides:

              • Longer loading times as the search area vastly increases
              • No clear overview. Imagine showing all gas stations on country level. You won’t be able to see a map anymore, only POI icons all over the map would be visible

              Regardless, I’ll check if we can tweak the current state a bit

              @Corjan-Meijerink I understand your problem, but the same question could be made for use at PC or tablet. Right know I am looking at a 24" window on a iMac, but to see a camping in Spain for instance, you can not see anything around in a area, but a few. You could try to look around Avila and in an overview you can not see on camping in a circle of 50 km. Zooming in will show you a few but you have to be pretty handy with searching and scrolling. One moment you see the icon, the other it is gone. If you zoom out you loose the location and heave to zoom in again very far, but you really need to know where you were at the moment of zooming. I don't know if I explane it well enough, but in countries as Spain and Portugal it is a pain to search. On a smartphone it is worst.

                @Willem-Polman I understand your reasoning! I’ll take a look into possible changes. However I can’t promise anything about actual changes or when they are made. Hope you all can understand that. Trying to put quite some work in the Mobile app and the Navigation Next project.

                In general I totally agree that the POI’s can use some finetuning! 🙂

                  And potentially a combination with favorites that could be seen as the most personal set of POI?

                          @Drabslab I just had a discussion about this with the team. Whenever you feel like sharing a new suggestion, create a new topic in General Discussion so it can be discussed. The Administrators can then tag the thread as a Suggestion (like we did with this thread)

                            Thanks a lot, I missed that.

                            Now I only have to consider whether or not to buy a product without having a clue where it will end up 🙂

                            But then, that routeplanner is excellent so ...
