    This is the update i was waiting for.
    I ride a 2018(+) Honda Goldwing. This Goldwing has Android Auto and Apple Carplay. Since i use a Android phone, i had to wait for the Android Auto version. It is here.

    I did not ride yet. But i already want to share a picture of Myroute activated on Android Auto of my Goldwing.

      Ok.
      I've done my first ride. Mixed feelings.
      It is certainly better than the old app.
      I had problems with auto skipping viapoints. But I'll try to focus on Android Auto because this is new for this version.

      1. Audio.
        I only have navigation directions when i play audio/music form an other app. When I set the audio/music app on pause, MRA will not give audible directions anymore.

      Possible Solution:
      Android Auto has a separate channel just for navigation sound.

      The volume off the navigation directions is too low.

      The sound of the lady who is giving the directions is terrible (just like the one of Google Maps). Please add other voices

      1. Routeline and Vehicle arrow.
        Until approx. 40 kph both the routeline and arrow can pretty good follow the movement of the vehicle

      Until 60-70 kph. The blue routeline is mostly smooth in it's movement but it is structual 20-100 meter behind the vehicle (sometimes a larger distance). The Arrow is not smooth for a large percentage of the riding times the arrow jump from point to point. It falls behind and then jump suddenly on the blue route line. Sometimes it "overtakes" the blue routeline to my exact location

      When i ride like 100 kph. Both the blueline and arrow cannot follow the speed of the vehicle and falls constantly behind. Both needs to jump to the actual almost every kilometer.

      B.T.W. My smartphone is mounted in open air for better GPS reception and cooling of the smartphone

      1. Enery Consumption.
        The energy consumption is high. Screen stays on many times. The charger cannot deal with the energy consumption. The battery is slowly draining

      (I use MRA Next only on Android Auto. Every comment, suggestion, etc will be based on my usage with Android Auto)

          @Vince-Hyde This may not be the issue as I don't have android, but I think a limitation in this first release (i thought I heard on the zoom call last night), is you must have the app loaded and running before connecting to Android Auto??

          Don't shoot me but I think that was the case??

              @Corjan-Meijerink Can we expect an update this week? I am going to the Ardennes on Friday and wonder if I can expect an update before I leave.

                @Bart-DM, With Corjan OoO until the 29th I would not bet on it. But you never know... ๐Ÿ˜‰

                I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

                      @Corjan-Meijerink Still enjoy your vacation!

                      I would like to see the following things updated:

                      • be able to plan routes of more than 600 km;
                      • the delay of the navigation arrow (did I really write that now? ๐Ÿท ).

                      Other things are nice, but not a requirement to use the navigation properly ๐Ÿ™‚

                          @Corjan-Meijerink A map update in the app, is that something that is automatically pushed by HERE or does it require intervention from the MRA team?

                            1. When can we get miles/feet working properly? In the USA, we don't use yards.
                            • On Android Auto, it shows yds in place of miles, but speaks miles.
                            • On the dash of my Bronco Sport it has an indicator of the next navigation instruction. It is in miles and feet...
                            1. Samsung Galaxy S23+. When I just use the main screen to look/follow on the map, it's fine. As soon as I try to navigate somewhere, it's incredibly slow to update the location, it doesn't find me on the road I am on, it sometimes puts me 1 mile away on another road that I'm not on...

                            2. I haven't been able to use any of the betas. Like any of them. On 4 different Android devices. The constant crashing, and now it can't seem to navigate me anywhere.

                              @Matt-Flaming, can you check the settings of the location services in Android? I usually disable what Google calls "enhanced positioning by WiFi" or equivalent. It actually adds nonsense to the GPS stream if you are carrying a hotspot. If your Samsung puts you in a place where you are not, could you check the location in an other app, to see if it is off there too?

                              The constant crashes of the app seems to be a long gone problem, so I am surprised by your comment. Can you pinpoint under what circumstances, at what actions, or in which screens or menus that happens? maybe a video or screenrecording of when that happens? I can't help you there, but that info will assist the MRA team in assessing what goes wrong.

                              I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

                                @Con-Hennekens Location works fine with literally every other app.

                                I regularly use Waze, TomTom Go/AmiGo/Go Ride, Maps, AutoZen, Locus, Gaia, CalTopo, Kurviger, and Guru. A couple more not worth mentioning as well.

                                Location works fine when I open MRA. It's only when it starts the "Navigation" is it completely and utterly wrong. If connected to Android Auto, AA is not AS laggy, but still lags behind. Not to mention all the inaccurate distances (yds instead of miles).

                                This isn't a problem with the device. It's only the navigation in MRA.

                                  @Matt-Flaming, Okay, I am afraid you need help from someone more technical then me. It is a bit odd though that there are so many Beta testers of which none of them is experiencing these displacements. That's why I was thinking of a phone problem before a app problem. Maybe Corjan has an idea. He will be back from holiday next week.

                                  I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

                                    @Matt-Flaming, Okay, I am afraid you need help from someone more technical then me. It is a bit odd though that there are so many Beta testers of which none of them is experiencing these displacements. That's why I was thinking of a phone problem before a app problem. Maybe Corjan has an idea. He will be back from holiday next week.

                                    @Con-Hennekens I've tested with 3 different devices.

                                    My only guess is that it's always related to the unit of measurements, or because I'm in USA.

                                      The long awaited day is here ๐ŸŽ‰
                                      Ladies and babies, big children, little children, even the gentlemen - every single one of them, we present to you Android Auto! ๐Ÿ˜

                                      The update will most likely be available at the end of today!

                                      Android Auto
                                      It has been promised to you long ago. The wait has been long and a lot of questions were asked about this. After almost every CarPlay related (or generic update) post on Facebook a response would be "when is Android Auto available?". That carried on for years ๐Ÿ˜ž
                                      Today, Android Auto & MyRoute-app have finally joined in marriage.

                                      android_auto.png

                                      What can you expect from this update?

                                      • An initial release which for the first time will be tested by a greater audience. Meaning that there are chances you will encounter an issue somewhere down the road ๐Ÿ˜‰
                                      • As with CarPlay, it's not finished yet. A lot of features are still missing (speed indicators, camera warnings, waypoint information etc...). We know! ๐Ÿ™‚ Now that both platforms have been released we can continue adding those features.
                                      • Important note: you must have the Beta opened on your phone when connecting to Android Auto. Launching the app from Android Auto when the app is completed closed doesn't work yet.

                                      Have you read the above? Good!

                                      We truly hope you are fascinated by finally having MyRoute-app available on Android Auto. We know it's not done yet and will continue adding features over the future weeks. Given the upcoming release and existing (more pressing) issues / requests we are not sure yet what the exact scope will be of this.

                                      Landscape improvements
                                      I'd personally like to thank @Dave-J-0, @Con-Hennekens & @StefanHummelink for their great contributions here: https://forum.myrouteapp.com/topic/4043/landscape-layout-suggestion
                                      Thanks โค

                                      Based on a fun weekend and some conversations with them, we've update the landscape UI in this update. For the full discussion, feel free to read that post. For now all you need to know: we've tried to improve the landscape experience yet again.

                                      2e1f3dfc-1904-4efa-85ba-fbc1cd8e890a-update.png

                                      • upcoming street is a little less wide
                                      • upcoming street can be hidden completely (go to Navigation Settings > Screen layout to configure this)
                                      • upcoming waypoint box moved to top right
                                      • added opacity to upcoming waypoint to ensure map / route behind can still be seen
                                      • speed indicators moved next to eta information
                                      • moved position indicator a little more back towards the center

                                      In the original post, some future designs have also been shared. That really is for the future. We hope that at this stage you are even more happy with these designs implemented ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

                                      Offline available routes (downloads)
                                      When you do not have internet and you'd open "Routes" you would only see an error message. We've added a button allowing you to open your downloads. If you click "Last route" and don't have internet, you can also directly jump to your downloads.

                                      When downloading a route, the "Make offline available" option is now the first one.

                                      Yes, our ambition is to add full offline support (automatically) for all your routes & folders. This is however quite a lot of work and will be something for the future ๐Ÿ˜‰

                                      Skip waypoint algorithm
                                      In the last update we've added the feature to automatically skip waypoints. Thanks to your feedback we've made the following changes to the algorithm.

                                      • Waypoints more than 20km away will never be skipped automatically. This has been added because people enjoyed the "skip waypoint after x recalculations" but on long stretches you'd sometimes have a few recalculations resulting in undesired skips.
                                      • We improved the logic for selecting the new waypoint after triggering the auto-skip. In the previous version the algorithm would always skip a maximum of one waypoint. This was the safer option but also resulted in a very constrained algorithm. In this version, the algorithm will simply search for the next nearest waypoint when the auto-skip algorithm has been triggered ๐Ÿ˜

                                      Minor issues fixed

                                      • Some setting screens could not be scrolled causing some settings to be unreachable in landscape mode
                                      • Changed the color of the route progress line
                                      • CarPlay: fixed issue where two positions would appear on the map after switching between apps
                                      • CarPlay: fixed issue where the route line & position would not be aligned properly on the screen

                                      Looking forward to your feedback! ๐ŸŽ‰

                                      For those interested, tonight (20:00) we have a zoom meeting for Beta testers where we get to virtually meet each other. The meeting URL will be shared in the following post tonight: https://forum.myrouteapp.com/topic/4004/webinar-zoom-meeting

                                      Hi
                                      I tried connecting MRA to my Android radio
                                      I followed the instructions but
                                      No screen at all only navigation instructions but audio
                                      Do I need to install the MRA app on the radio unit itself
                                      Thnkx Marinus
