New Beta! (v3.2.12)

@Con-Hennekens that actually totally makes sense to us The voice prompts are triggered by your exact location. The position delay on screen has other causes

[Con Hennekens]

@Corjan-Meijerink, that is incredibly strange for a non-developer like me... Putting a position on a map that is actually NOT the one given by the location services...? I am glad we have developers that actually know what they are talking about, but at the same time, if you knew what caused it, you would have resolved it by now.... It must be more complex than my brain can handle

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Con-Hennekens the position on the map is provided by the same location service. However, the arrow as drawn on the map wants a continuous animation while the location updates are discrete (based on a interval).
For every location update the arrow is animated between the previous location and the next based on an interpolation of the route you are driving. The locations need to be snapped to the road to account for gps inaccuracies. You also want to prevent the arrow to appear as jumping so animations are slightly delayed / sped up based on the discrete intervals. These are somewhat the most important factors

For voice prompts, all the above don’t matter. You are at position x (with a confidence) and that triggers the instruction

[Con Hennekens]

@Corjan-Meijerink, okay, you actually know what you are talking about (but I already knew that )

@Corjan-Meijerink Oooooohhh, my engineering heart loves these technical in depth answers from you.

[Corjan Meijerink]

@StefanHummelink hahah thanks!

[UltraStar]

@Corjan-Meijerink You know what, sometimes I think you are just bored. You have even changed the little icon in the forum tab in the browser.
Great job man! I hope you will still have energy to ride (that was rhetorical statement; we always have energy to ride )

[Corjan Meijerink]

@UltraStar Hahaha, nice eye for detail I'm never bored but sometimes the little things give energy for the big issues Coming week will be a lot of riding for me!

It was actually @Bart-DM who inspired me to change that: https://forum.myrouteapp.com/post/22938

@Ian-foster-0 ik rijd op dit moment in de usa, maar het probleem is,dat de position indicator niet in het midden van het scherm blijft, dus is voortdurend zoek, mis ik wat in de instellingen? , Wie kan mij helpen

[Con Hennekens]

@jan-oosterling, Als je het kompas tikt, centreert het scherm weer, en blijft hij ook volgen. Althans, zo hoort het... Van het weekend had ik zelf ook een moment waarop de kaart niet meer meebewoog. Ik heb geen idee waaraan dat lag. Kompas hielp ook niet. Na het overslaan van een vormingspunt werd de route opnieuw berekent en werkte alles weer normaal.

@Corjan-Meijerink Safe rides!
Than you @Bart-DM

[Rolf Engelsman]

It would be nice if you could export/save a generated roundtrip.

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Rolf-Engelsman definitely! That will be added in a future iteration of the app (probably after release).

@Corjan-Meijerink

Thank you and all the team for the hard work put into the new app.

I think it has been good (and really quite interesting) to read the problems people have found and MyRoute’s responses to them in a public forum.

The updates are clear and always informative, as is the help given to people (including myself) who have simply misunderstood something about the way the app works.

All the best,

Richard
