    Impressive list again! 👍

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

      Hey everyone! 👋

      Today is the day for another big update! We've fixed the most crucial issue in the app and added / tweaked a lot of functionalities! We're pretty sure that you will be very pleased with this update ❤

      It will be available somewhere between today and tomorrow 🙂

      Obviously we gave this update a good test about which you can read here: https://forum.myrouteapp.com/topic/4379/alpha-test-result

      Position delay
      Finally the day is here that we can announce that the position delay in the app has been fixed! 🎉 🎉 Not a lot of images to share or to write about but this is the most important change of the update! I’d simply recommend that you all go out and enjoy the weather to experience it for yourself.

      App walkthrough
      As we are approaching the release, we need to make sure that users understand the app! Therefore we’ve added two walkthroughs in the app 😏

      • The first explains the basic functionalities of the app previously known as the “Mobile” app. This will allows users to understand where they can find which features.
      • The second walkthrough explains the layout of the navigation module and the important nifty little features you can find there. For example tapping the ETA field.

      walkthrough.png

      Can the walkthroughs be skipped? No! It only takes a few click and we believe it adds a lot of information about the app, such that everybody should see it at least once 😉

      Improved tilt / zoom (dynamic camera)
      In almost every update we tried to accomplish this. However..... we were stupid and missed a very stupid little detail. This explained all the user reports where they mentioned that the map would not be tilted at all 😞 So now we can finally say that the dynamic camera correctly tilts in all scenario’s. This means that you will always have a tilted view! You don’t want that? Keep on reading!

      field_of_depth.png

      Fixed camera & zoom buttons
      You knew that tapping the compass would cycle between the dynamic camera (automatic tilt & zoom) and the fixed camera (top-down view). In the fixed mode, north would always be facing up. This has been changed so that your heading faces up (like the dynamic camera).
      In this camera mode the camera will always show a top-down (no tilt) view and you may choose your own zoom level using the new zoom buttons!

      zoom_buttons.png

      UI rework of tracking button
      Adding the previously mentioned zoom buttons was a pain in the ass regarding the layout. Therefore we reworked some buttons to make better use of available space 😍 Tapping the tracklog button now pops out the different options. This allows a more scalable solution for adding buttons to the map. The same type of button has been used for the zoom buttons.

      Building layout
      Some people prefer 3D buildings 🏢 on the map (like the app was until today) but others hated it. You can now choose this for yourself!

      • “Off” doesn’t show any buildings
      • “2D” only shows the footprint of buildings (this is now the default setting)
      • “3D” shows them like you were used to
        We thought it would be best to make 2D the default as this is what most people seem to prefer.

      building_render.png

      Where can you change this setting? Map layout might be a good place to look.

      Long routes issue
      The app wasn’t able to calculate the fastest route to a destination far away (> 600km). This has now been fixed! 🙂
      A nice extra is that the calculated fastest route now matches the selected suggested route when starting navigation.

      Traffic preference
      In the functional navigation settings there was a setting to toggle “Traffic information”. This has been renamed to “Traffic aware route calculation”. When enabled the map will show traffic jams and takes them into account when calculating the route 🚗 🚗 🚗
      Using routes from the website? The behavior in the app and routeplanner are aligned! This ensures that you always drive the route exactly as you planned it.

      settings.png

      Improved waypoint list
      The waypoint list is a great tool to show the passed and remainder of your route.
      As of this update it actually opens at the upcoming waypoint, the menu cannot be closed accidentally anymore and we’ve added a visual distinction between the passed, current and upcoming waypoints.

      Resume navigation issue
      When resuming a previous navigation session sometimes the incorrect waypoint was used. This issue has been fixed! 😃

      Bad internet & login page
      If you had a bad internet connection the login page would sometimes appear. We’ve made improvements to prevent this from happening. If you still encounter it, please let us know!

      Creating scenic routes & round tours
      Fixed two major frustrations regarding the route creation menu:

      • It cannot be closed anymore by swiping it down
      • When changing the travel mode the calculated route now also updates appropriately

      roundtours.png

      Offline mode indicator
      Are you driving in offline mode? We’ve added a nice little indicator to show this.

      Track navigation validation
      When loading a track in navigation, you sometimes see warnings about errors in the route. This popup is purely informational but can be frustrating if you drive a lot of tracks. If you really don’t care about the warning, it can be turned off from the functional navigation settings 😉

      Using TomTom / OSM routes
      If you open a route created in the TomTom / OSM map for navigation, we now display a warning that the calculated route might differ from the planned route. This makes sense because the app uses HERE as foundation of the navigation. You may choose to accept any (possible) differences for what it is or load it as track. Using track navigation ensures you drive exactly what you planned but you loose all waypoint functionality.

      here_warning.png

      What's next?

      The release is approaching fast! With this update we are confident that the app is ready for a great release 🎉 In the remaining two weeks the most important issues we will work on and make sure that they are fixed are:

      • Offline maps download stability / lack of progress
      • Voice prompt stability & configuration options
      • Battery usage

      Obviously we still got some other minor features we want to implement but the above will be the focus. Besides that, we'll keep on processing all your feedback 🙂

      Looking forward to your experiences with this update!

      Best,
      Corjan

        @Corjan-Meijerink geweldige update weer, hoop handige functies die ik hier in Polen al met plezier gebruik zoals de 3D en het zoomen.
        Op de Samsung Active Tab 3 heb ik al een poos geen probleem meer met battery life, blijft keurig tot 100% bijladen, zelfs op volledig helder scherm
        Beyond impressed, ook Joost natuurlijk

              Hey everyone! 👋

              Today is the day for another big update! We've fixed the most crucial issue in the app and added / tweaked a lot of functionalities! We're pretty sure that you will be very pleased with this update ❤

I’d simply recommend that you all go out and enjoy the weather to experience it for yourself.

              App walkthrough
              As we are approaching the release, we need to make sure that users understand the app! Therefore we’ve added two walkthroughs in the app 😏

              • The first explains the basic functionalities of the app previously known as the “Mobile” app. This will allows users to understand where they can find which features.
              • The second walkthrough explains the layout of the navigation module and the important nifty little features you can find there. For example tapping the ETA field.

              walkthrough.png

              Can the walkthroughs be skipped? No! It only takes a few click and we believe it adds a lot of information about the app, such that everybody should see it at least once 😉

              Improved tilt / zoom (dynamic camera)
              In almost every update we tried to accomplish this. However..... we were stupid and missed a very stupid little detail. This explained all the user reports where they mentioned that the map would not be tilted at all 😞 So now we can finally say that the dynamic camera correctly tilts in all scenario’s. This means that you will always have a tilted view! You don’t want that? Keep on reading!

              field_of_depth.png

              Fixed camera & zoom buttons
              You knew that tapping the compass would cycle between the dynamic camera (automatic tilt & zoom) and the fixed camera (top-down view). In the fixed mode, north would always be facing up. This has been changed so that your heading faces up (like the dynamic camera).
              In this camera mode the camera will always show a top-down (no tilt) view and you may choose your own zoom level using the new zoom buttons!

              zoom_buttons.png

              UI rework of tracking button
              Adding the previously mentioned zoom buttons was a pain in the ass regarding the layout. Therefore we reworked some buttons to make better use of available space 😍 Tapping the tracklog button now pops out the different options. This allows a more scalable solution for adding buttons to the map. The same type of button has been used for the zoom buttons.

              Building layout
              Some people prefer 3D buildings 🏢 on the map (like the app was until today) but others hated it. You can now choose this for yourself!

              • “Off” doesn’t show any buildings
              • “2D” only shows the footprint of buildings (this is now the default setting)
              • “3D” shows them like you were used to
                We thought it would be best to make 2D the default as this is what most people seem to prefer.

              building_render.png

              Where can you change this setting? Map layout might be a good place to look.

              Long routes issue
              The app wasn’t able to calculate the fastest route to a destination far away (> 600km). This has now been fixed! 🙂
              A nice extra is that the calculated fastest route now matches the selected suggested route when starting navigation.

              Traffic preference
              In the functional navigation settings there was a setting to toggle “Traffic information”. This has been renamed to “Traffic aware route calculation”. When enabled the map will show traffic jams and takes them into account when calculating the route 🚗 🚗 🚗
              Using routes from the website? The behavior in the app and routeplanner are aligned! This ensures that you always drive the route exactly as you planned it.

              Improved waypoint list
              The waypoint list is a great tool to show the passed and remainder of your route.
              As of this update it actually opens at the upcoming waypoint, the menu cannot be closed accidentally anymore and we’ve added a visual distinction between the passed, current and upcoming waypoints.

              Resume navigation issue
              When resuming a previous navigation session sometimes the incorrect waypoint was used. This issue has been fixed! 😃

              Bad internet & login page
              If you had a bad internet connection the login page would sometimes appear. We’ve made improvements to prevent this from happening. If you still encounter it, please let us know!

              Creating scenic routes & round tours
              Fixed two major frustrations regarding the route creation menu:

              • It cannot be closed anymore by swiping it down
              • When changing the travel mode the calculated route now also updates appropriately

              roundtours.png

              Offline mode indicator
              Are you driving in offline mode? We’ve added a nice little indicator to show this.

              Track navigation validation
              When loading a track in navigation, you sometimes see warnings about errors in the route. This popup is purely informational but can be frustrating if you drive a lot of tracks. If you really don’t care about the warning, it can be turned off from the functional navigation settings 😉

              Using TomTom / OSM routes
              If you open a route created in the TomTom / OSM map for navigation, we now display a warning that the calculated route might differ from the planned route. This makes sense because the app uses HERE as foundation of the navigation. You may choose to accept any (possible) differences for what it is or load it as track. Using track navigation ensures you drive exactly what you planned but you loose all waypoint functionality.

              What's next?

              The release is approaching fast! With this update we are confident that the app is ready for a great release 🎉 In the remaining two weeks the most important issues we will work on and make sure that they are fixed are:

              • Offline maps download stability / lack of progress
              • Voice prompt stability & configuration options
              • Battery usage

              Obviously we still got some other minor features we want to implement but the above will be the focus. Besides that, we'll keep on processing all your feedback 🙂

              Looking forward to your experiences with this update!

              Best,
              Corjan

                Hey everyone! 👋

                Today is the day for another big update! We've fixed the most crucial issue in the app and added / tweaked a lot of functionalities! We're pretty sure that you will be very pleased with this update ❤

                It will be available somewhere between today and tomorrow 🙂

                Obviously we gave this update a good test about which you can read here: https://forum.myrouteapp.com/topic/4379/alpha-test-result

                Position delay
                Finally the day is here that we can announce that the position delay in the app has been fixed! 🎉 🎉 Not a lot of images to share or to write about but this is the most important change of the update! I’d simply recommend that you all go out and enjoy the weather to experience it for yourself.

                App walkthrough
                As we are approaching the release, we need to make sure that users understand the app! Therefore we’ve added two walkthroughs in the app 😏

                • The first explains the basic functionalities of the app previously known as the “Mobile” app. This will allows users to understand where they can find which features.
                • The second walkthrough explains the layout of the navigation module and the important nifty little features you can find there. For example tapping the ETA field.

                walkthrough.png

                Can the walkthroughs be skipped? No! It only takes a few click and we believe it adds a lot of information about the app, such that everybody should see it at least once 😉

                Improved tilt / zoom (dynamic camera)
                In almost every update we tried to accomplish this. However..... we were stupid and missed a very stupid little detail. This explained all the user reports where they mentioned that the map would not be tilted at all 😞 So now we can finally say that the dynamic camera correctly tilts in all scenario’s. This means that you will always have a tilted view! You don’t want that? Keep on reading!

                field_of_depth.png

                Fixed camera & zoom buttons
                You knew that tapping the compass would cycle between the dynamic camera (automatic tilt & zoom) and the fixed camera (top-down view). In the fixed mode, north would always be facing up. This has been changed so that your heading faces up (like the dynamic camera).
                In this camera mode the camera will always show a top-down (no tilt) view and you may choose your own zoom level using the new zoom buttons!

                zoom_buttons.png

                UI rework of tracking button
                Adding the previously mentioned zoom buttons was a pain in the ass regarding the layout. Therefore we reworked some buttons to make better use of available space 😍 Tapping the tracklog button now pops out the different options. This allows a more scalable solution for adding buttons to the map. The same type of button has been used for the zoom buttons.

                Building layout
                Some people prefer 3D buildings 🏢 on the map (like the app was until today) but others hated it. You can now choose this for yourself!

                • “Off” doesn’t show any buildings
                • “2D” only shows the footprint of buildings (this is now the default setting)
                • “3D” shows them like you were used to
                  We thought it would be best to make 2D the default as this is what most people seem to prefer.

                building_render.png

                Where can you change this setting? Map layout might be a good place to look.

                Long routes issue
                The app wasn’t able to calculate the fastest route to a destination far away (> 600km). This has now been fixed! 🙂

                  Hey Corjan,
                  Ik heb even een pauze ergens in de buurt van Sveg in Zweden.
                  Dit is de 6e dag van mijn trip naar de Noordkaap. Ik heb nu ong 2k gereden en heb nog 10k te gaan in 20 dagen.😀.
                  Ik rijd met MRA beta en TomTom Rider 550 naast elkaar en ben alles aan het vergelijken.
                  Ik was in het begin van bèta erg sceptisch, maar op dit moment kan ik redelijk mijn weg vinden. Probleempjes waar ik nu tegen aanloop is dat ik geen poi's zie langs de route en heb nog niet kunnen vinden waar ik dit aan kan zetten. De pompstations zijn hier erg belangrijk 😜.
                  Verder heb problemen met het terugkeren in de app als je even iets anders gedaan hebt op je telefoon. Er is dan geen kaart zichtbaar. Als je navigatie stop en start, dan is de kaart weer terug. Als je gelukt hebt start hij waar je was gebleven en anders aan het begin van de route. Ook hier heb ik nog niet kunnen vinden waar ik het routepunt kan kiezen waar ik verder wil. Sorry als dat al ergens in het forum staat of in de nieuwe beta zit.

                    @Johan-Ri, mooie tocht voor de boeg!
                    Fijn dat het vergelijk met jouw vertrouwde TomTom goed uitpakt!
                    POI's zichtbaar maken is iets voor ná de release waarschijnlijk, maar vóór de release wordt er nog gewerkt aan aan de melding voor het dichtstbijzijnde tankstation op de route (en hoever dat is). Het probleem dat sommigen ervaren met het hervatten van de route is in de update van vanochtend al gefixt.

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

                    Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebar to the saddle.

                        I have just signed up for Next but have been using MRA for a while to plan rides. I’m so looking forward to having my first ride using Next. Have removed TomTom mount from the bike and replaced with a Quad Lock. I do hope I’m not disappointed. Using TomTom for routes/tracks is not good

                          Fantastic work team MRA, well done! I can't wait to try this latest release, away on a trip next week and will, on some days, be running this in parallel to my Garmin just for the sake of comparison. Hoping that the Garmin can be replaced by MRA Next in the coming months.

                            Long routes issue
                            The app wasn’t able to calculate the fastest route to a destination far away (> 600km). This has now been fixed! 🙂
                            A nice extra is that the calculated fastest route now matches the selected suggested route when starting navigation.

                            In the functional navigation settings there was a setting to toggle “Traffic information”. This has been renamed to “Traffic aware route calculation”. When enabled the map will show traffic jams and takes them into account when calculating the route 🚗 🚗 🚗
                            Using routes from the website? The behavior in the app and routeplanner are aligned! This ensures that you always drive the route exactly as you planned it.

                            Improved waypoint list
                            The waypoint list is a great tool to show the passed and remainder of your route.
                            As of this update it actually opens at the upcoming waypoint, the menu cannot be closed accidentally anymore and we’ve added a visual distinction between the passed, current and upcoming waypoints.

                            Resume navigation issue
                            When resuming a previous navigation session sometimes the incorrect waypoint was used. This issue has been fixed! 😃

                            Bad internet & login page
                            If you had a bad internet connection the login page would sometimes appear. We’ve made improvements to prevent this from happening. If you still encounter it, please let us know!

                            Creating scenic routes & round tours
                            Fixed two major frustrations regarding the route creation menu:

                            • It cannot be closed anymore by swiping it down
                            • When changing the travel mode the calculated route now also updates appropriately

                            roundtours.png

                            Offline mode indicator
                            Are you driving in offline mode? We’ve added a nice little indicator to show this.

                            Track navigation validation
                            When loading a track in navigation, you sometimes see warnings about errors in the route. This popup is purely informational but can be frustrating if you drive a lot of tracks. If you really don’t care about the warning, it can be turned off from the functional navigation settings 😉

                            Using TomTom / OSM routes
                            If you open a route created in the TomTom / OSM map for navigation, we now display a warning that the calculated route might differ from the planned route. This makes sense because the app uses HERE as foundation of the navigation. You may choose to accept any (possible) differences for what it is or load it as track. Using track navigation ensures you drive exactly what you planned but you loose all waypoint functionality.

                            What's next?

                            The release is approaching fast! With this update we are confident that the app is ready for a great release 🎉 In the remaining two weeks the most important issues we will work on and make sure that they are fixed are:

                            • Offline maps download stability / lack of progress
                            • Voice prompt stability & configuration options
                            • Battery usage

                            Obviously we still got some other minor features we want to implement but the above will be the focus. Besides that, we'll keep on processing all your feedback 🙂

                            Looking forward to your experiences with this update!

                            Best,

                                Hey everyone! 👋

                                Today is the day for another big update! We've fixed the most crucial issue in the app and added / tweaked a lot of functionalities! We're pretty sure that you will be very pleased with this update ❤

                                It will be available somewhere between today and tomorrow 🙂

                                Obviously we gave this update a good test about which you can read here: https://forum.myrouteapp.com/topic/4379/alpha-test-result

                                Position delay
                                Finally the day is here that we can announce that the position delay in the app has been fixed! 🎉 🎉 Not a lot of images to share or to write about but this is the most important change of the update! I’d simply recommend that you all go out and enjoy the weather to experience it for yourself.

                                App walkthrough
                                As we are approaching the release, we need to make sure that users understand the app! Therefore we’ve added two walkthroughs in the app 😏

                                • The first explains the basic functionalities of the app previously known as the “Mobile” app. This will allows users to understand where they can find which features.
                                • The second walkthrough explains the layout of the navigation module and the important nifty little features you can find there. For example tapping the ETA field.

                                walkthrough.png

                                Can the walkthroughs be skipped? No! It only takes a few click and we believe it adds a lot of information about the app, such that everybody should see it at least once 😉

                                Improved tilt / zoom (dynamic camera)
                                In almost every update we tried to accomplish this. However..... we were stupid and missed a very stupid little detail. This explained all the user reports where they mentioned that the map would not be tilted at all 😞 So now we can finally say that the dynamic camera correctly tilts in all scenario’s. This means that you will always have a tilted view! You don’t want that? Keep on reading!

                                field_of_depth.png

                                Fixed camera & zoom buttons
                                You knew that tapping the compass would cycle between the dynamic camera (automatic tilt & zoom) and the fixed camera (top-down view). In the fixed mode, north would always be facing up. This has been changed so that your heading faces up (like the dynamic camera).
                                In this camera mode the camera will always show a top-down (no tilt) view and you may choose your own zoom level using the new zoom buttons!

                                UI rework of tracking button
                                Adding the previously mentioned zoom buttons was a pain in the ass regarding the layout. Therefore we reworked some buttons to make better use of available space 😍 Tapping the tracklog button now pops out the different options. This allows a more scalable solution for adding buttons to the map. The same type of button has been used for the zoom buttons.

                                Building layout
                                Some people prefer 3D buildings 🏢 on the map (like the app was until today) but others hated it. You can now choose this for yourself!

                                • “Off” doesn’t show any buildings
                                • “2D” only shows the footprint of buildings (this is now the default setting)
                                • “3D” shows them like you were used to
                                  We thought it would be best to make 2D the default as this is what most people seem to prefer.

                                building_render.png

                                Where can you change this setting? Map layout might be a good place to look.

                                Long routes issue
                                The app wasn’t able to calculate the fastest route to a destination far away (> 600km). This has now been fixed! 🙂
                                A nice extra is that the calculated fastest route now matches the selected suggested route when starting navigation.

                                Traffic preference
                                In the functional navigation settings there was a setting to toggle “Traffic information”. This has been renamed to “Traffic aware route calculation”. When enabled the map will show traffic jams and takes them into account when calculating the route 🚗 🚗 🚗

                                Improved waypoint list
                                The waypoint list is a great tool to show the passed and remainder of your route.
                                As of this update it actually opens at the upcoming waypoint, the menu cannot be closed accidentally anymore and we’ve added a visual distinction between the passed, current and upcoming waypoints.

                                Resume navigation issue
                                When resuming a previous navigation session sometimes the incorrect waypoint was used. This issue has been fixed! 😃

                                Bad internet & login page
                                If you had a bad internet connection the login page would sometimes appear. We’ve made improvements to prevent this from happening. If you still encounter it, please let us know!

                                • It cannot be closed anymore by swiping it down

                                Are you driving in offline mode? We’ve added a nice little indicator to show this.

                                Track navigation validation

                                Different Map Recomended?
                                I get a notification that my route was created with OSM, however this is not correct as I only use the Here map exclusively?

                                Update: This only seems to happen the first time opening a Route from the Downloads folder.
                                Opening the route a second time does not give the message.

                                  Long routes issue
                                  The app wasn’t able to calculate the fastest route to a destination far away (> 600km). This has now been fixed! 🙂
                                  A nice extra is that the calculated fastest route now matches the selected suggested route when starting navigation.

                                  Traffic preference
                                  In the functional navigation settings there was a setting to toggle “Traffic information”. This has been renamed to “Traffic aware route calculation”. When enabled the map will show traffic jams and takes them into account when calculating the route 🚗 🚗 🚗
                                  Using routes from the website? The behavior in the app and routeplanner are aligned! This ensures that you always drive the route exactly as you planned it.

                                  Improved waypoint list
                                  The waypoint list is a great tool to show the passed and remainder of your route.
                                  As of this update it actually opens at the upcoming waypoint, the menu cannot be closed accidentally anymore and we’ve added a visual distinction between the passed, current and upcoming waypoints.

                                  Resume navigation issue
                                  When resuming a previous navigation session sometimes the incorrect waypoint was used. This issue has been fixed! 😃

                                  Bad internet & login page
                                  If you had a bad internet connection the login page would sometimes appear. We’ve made improvements to prevent this from happening. If you still encounter it, please let us know!

                                  Creating scenic routes & round tours
                                  Fixed two major frustrations regarding the route creation menu:

                                  • It cannot be closed anymore by swiping it down
                                  • When changing the travel mode the calculated route now also updates appropriately

                                  Offline mode indicator
                                  Are you driving in offline mode? We’ve added a nice little indicator to show this.

                                  Track navigation validation
                                  When loading a track in navigation, you sometimes see warnings about errors in the route. This popup is purely informational but can be frustrating if you drive a lot of tracks. If you really don’t care about the warning, it can be turned off from the functional navigation settings 😉

                                  Using TomTom / OSM routes
                                  If you open a route created in the TomTom / OSM map for navigation, we now display a warning that the calculated route might differ from the planned route. This makes sense because the app uses HERE as foundation of the navigation. You may choose to accept any (possible) differences for what it is or load it as track. Using track navigation ensures you drive exactly what you planned but you loose all waypoint functionality.

                                  What's next?

                                  The release is approaching fast! With this update we are confident that the app is ready for a great release 🎉 In the remaining two weeks the most important issues we will work on and make sure that they are fixed are:

                                  • Offline maps download stability / lack of progress
                                  • Voice prompt stability & configuration options
                                  • Battery usage

                                  Obviously we still got some other minor features we want to implement but the above will be the focus. Besides that, we'll keep on processing all your feedback 🙂

                                  Looking forward to your experiences with this update!

                                  Best,

                                  @Corjan-Meijerink prachtig, bedankt voor dit mooie resultaat!! Ga hem komende week uitgebreid testen 🙂

                                  Heb wel een vraag over de verkeersinformatie. Stel dat de verkeerssituatie tijdens het rijden van een A > B route (berekend in de app) veranderd (file door een ongeval bijvoorbeeld), wordt dit dan ook automatisch opgepakt door de app of kom ik achterin de rij te staan?

                                  The adventure starts where the plans end | READY TO >> RACE 🧡

                                    Hey everyone! 👋

                                    Today is the day for another big update! We've fixed the most crucial issue in the app and added / tweaked a lot of functionalities! We're pretty sure that you will be very pleased with this update ❤

                                    It will be available somewhere between today and tomorrow 🙂

                                    Obviously we gave this update a good test about which you can read here: https://forum.myrouteapp.com/topic/4379/alpha-test-result

                                    Position delay
                                    Finally the day is here that we can announce that the position delay in the app has been fixed! 🎉 🎉 Not a lot of images to share or to write about but this is the most important change of the update! I’d simply recommend that you all go out and enjoy the weather to experience it for yourself.

                                    App walkthrough
                                    As we are approaching the release, we need to make sure that users understand the app! Therefore we’ve added two walkthroughs in the app 😏

                                    • The first explains the basic functionalities of the app previously known as the “Mobile” app. This will allows users to understand where they can find which features.
                                    • The second walkthrough explains the layout of the navigation module and the important nifty little features you can find there. For example tapping the ETA field.

                                    walkthrough.png

                                    Can the walkthroughs be skipped? No! It only takes a few click and we believe it adds a lot of information about the app, such that everybody should see it at least once 😉

                                    Improved tilt / zoom (dynamic camera)
                                    In almost every update we tried to accomplish this. However..... we were stupid and missed a very stupid little detail. This explained all the user reports where they mentioned that the map would not be tilted at all 😞 So now we can finally say that the dynamic camera correctly tilts in all scenario’s. This means that you will always have a tilted view! You don’t want that? Keep on reading!

                                    field_of_depth.png

                                    Fixed camera & zoom buttons
                                    You knew that tapping the compass would cycle between the dynamic camera (automatic tilt & zoom) and the fixed camera (top-down view). In the fixed mode, north would always be facing up. This has been changed so that your heading faces up (like the dynamic camera).
                                    In this camera mode the camera will always show a top-down (no tilt) view and you may choose your own zoom level using the new zoom buttons!

                                    zoom_buttons.png

                                    UI rework of tracking button
                                    Adding the previously mentioned zoom buttons was a pain in the ass regarding the layout. Therefore we reworked some buttons to make better use of available space 😍 Tapping the tracklog button now pops out the different options. This allows a more scalable solution for adding buttons to the map. The same type of button has been used for the zoom buttons.

                                    Building layout
                                    Some people prefer 3D buildings 🏢 on the map (like the app was until today) but others hated it. You can now choose this for yourself!

                                    • “Off” doesn’t show any buildings
                                    • “2D” only shows the footprint of buildings (this is now the default setting)
                                    • “3D” shows them like you were used to
                                      We thought it would be best to make 2D the default as this is what most people seem to prefer.

                                    Where can you change this setting? Map layout might be a good place to look.

                                    Long routes issue
                                    The app wasn’t able to calculate the fastest route to a destination far away (> 600km). This has now been fixed! 🙂
                                    A nice extra is that the calculated fastest route now matches the selected suggested route when starting navigation.

                                    The waypoint list is a great tool to show the passed and remainder of your route.

                                        @Dave-J-0 @CD130 We only inform you about the delays. When recalculating (because you deviate for example) the fastest route will always be calculated and this takes traffic into consideration (when turned on).

                                        Actively finding faster routes is something we wish to add later 🙂
