    @Corjan-Meijerink said in Show Route and Zoom Options:

    We don’t want to cram the screen with way more buttons

    One feature I love about Locus Map, is the volume buttons being utilized as zoom in/out while in the map.

      @Corjan-Meijerink Within a mapping application, I don't need to control volume. My volume control when riding is my Cardo. My phone is full volume all the time on the bike (ear plugs)

        @Matt-Flaming Thanks for the explanation 🙂 I do think this wouldn’t be a general solution for all but might be a preference for some!

          @Corjan-Meijerink Maybe, like zumo XT, each rider can configer a number of buttons on the screen. So he select the buttons he would like.

            Because the display on a satnav is necessarily a close up view it is sometimes difficult to sense where you are and how far along the route. Therefore most systems have an overview feature.

            I have attached a couple of screenshots of how this feature works in Sygic, as a good example. The overview button (bottom left) is activated by a single press, which brings up a new screen with an overview of the whole route, also showing your position. The route can be returned to by selecting the ‘Re-Centre” button or automatically after about 15secs.

            I think is an essential feature.

                One thing that would solve a lot of these issues is to support keyboard control.

                Those of us with BMWs and Wunderlinq could then use the handlebar wheel to zoom in and out and navigate around the app. Those without could use a remote Bluetooth control (the ones with up/down/left/right/enter)

                I really hope Wunderlinq support comes to the app as it would be a game chargers and requires very little in terms of development to implement

                        Can you please support the Carpe Iter controllers? I can put you in touch with the developer if you need more details.

                          @Stanisław @Dae-0 @Matt-Flaming Wow! That took off 🙂 🚀

                          We are currently investigating the support of generic keyboard mappings. This to support Wunderlinq and other devices that emit wireless keyboard instructions. One example is barbuttons, we met last week with their person - https://jaxeadv.com/barbuttons/

                          Current development plans such as offline maps and CarPlay require our focus but this is something fun on the side 😉

                                  @Corjan-Meijerink we use the BMW WonderWheel with MotoMedia Link (similar to WunderLinq), Tasker and AutoInput to control Next (zoom, skip waypoints, record tracks, stop navigating, etc). @b0hd1 and me are developing this.
                                  It would be incredible if we could have access to the api vía intents that everybody could use, for example, with Tasker

                                        @Corjan-Meijerink Would these developments be able to be implemented in iOS as most are currently Android centric I think?

                                        @Dave-J-0 The technique @bluetuz mentioned is Android only but currently we are specifically looking into handling wireless keyboard events. This would be for iOS and Android.

                                          Hi @Dave-J-0 I don’t agree with making changes to the app just to make it easier to use while on the move.
                                          As you know, in the UK and it’s probably the same in the EU, it's illegal to hold and use a phone, sat nav, tablet, or any device that can send or receive data, while driving or riding a motorcycle.

                                          I’m not a copper 👮 but I have had more than enough ‘too close for comfort’ encounters with drivers in tin boxes on their phone.

                                          Yes, make it as glove friendly as possible. But I think the app should be optimised to be the very best that it can be without the possible restrictions that could be imposed just to make it easier to use while on the move.
