Option to use openstreetmap in the future?

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Chera-Bekker Correct. The OSM map will not be usable in the Navigation module. Within the Mobile app itself, you can use this map!

As soon as you start turn-by-turn navigation, the HERE map will be used automatically

[Chera Bekker]

@Corjan-Meijerink just for my curiosity, why did you choose the HERE maps for navigation and not OSM?

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Chera-Bekker Because OSM does not have the technical support (SDK) for our chosen development stack (Flutter)

@Corjan-Meijerink Understand this but will we have an option for different colour layouts etc as the current HERE version is not good in daylight (my perspective) as I would like more contrast in colours like the OSM versions of the map layers?

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Dave-J-0 Yes, definitely! More styles will be added later. Starting off with a dark mode map

@Corjan-Meijerink Brilliant. Looking forward to this.

@Corjan-Meijerink will there be another way to navigate the openstreet map route? I think that the best "kronkel routes" are made on openstreet, but we lose the route when I turn on navigation. Also it doesn't give the same route if I make more navigation points in another map.

Maybe there is a way to export the openroutefile to a mra-navigation supported file?

For me the "kronkelroutes" was the reason to become a gold member.

@Florens That will eventually also work in Next! The development is scheduled for much later in the year.

You can convert an OSM generated curvy route-track to a route (with waypoints). This can be navigated with the app But yes...this is way to cumbersome

[Chera Bekker]

@Corjan-Meijerink The OSM has also the option to use route segments with different routing options per segment. How will HERE deal with those segmented routes? Do we need to add a lot of waypoints to make sure that HERE will not be able to deviate?

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Chera-Bekker We aim to make HERE routes fully compatible with segments such as in OSM

Please do note that this is scheduled way in the future.
