Avoid options

[Corjan Meijerink]

Hey people!

Just a quick post to share the latest progress with you guys!
While working on CarPlay we also shouldn't forget to implement other crucial features

One of those features are the avoid options!
When opening a route you created in the routeplanner, the app should use the same avoid options. If you create a new A-B route, you might want to turn on / off a specific type of road. As of now, we now support all this!

The above route was quickly created in the routeplanner and I choose to Avoid highways. The app now perfectly reflects that! Better yet, if you created the route in TomTom / OSM and choose avoid options, the app will also honour those preferences. You can however always change the avoid options in the app - this won't update the route as created in the routeplanner.

Note: this is only the case for settings that HERE can understand. OSM city avoid options, isn't possible in HERE

Besides that I took some time to improve the general visibility / contrast of the bottom screen menu's (such as route settings / waypoint etc).

The screen where you start the route did not make much sense yet because there were not really a lot of features present. Now, there are! We implemented the same (and freshly updated) bottom menu to present all the options.

Here are some screenshots of the new options & updated UI.

Is it time for beer yet?

Cheers,
Corjan

These changes will become available in the CarPlay Beta release - not sooner

Well deserved beer for the Devs.

Proost! Well deserved indeed!
This is one of the functions I advocated for, even long before Next, so I am really glad to see this improvement. Thanks!

@Con-Hennekens Cheers! I finally got mine too

@Corjan-Meijerink This app exceeds all expectations. Once Carplay is available, I think this app will be the most used app on my smartphone.

@Bart-DM happy to hear that!
