    Time for a new update! ๐ŸŽ‰

    Last week we released a new version to the Beta community and the changes were received with great enthusiasm! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ We submitted the new 4.0.3 update to Google and Apple today and expect it to be available to you all around Thursday.

    What has changed in this version?

    Motorhome & motorcycle support
    The website has just been updated to facilitate motorhomes & motorcycles within the MRA Routeplanner (see announcement). Obviously the app needs to support this too!

    render_motor_camper.png

    You can now choose these travel modes within the app and even directly edit your vehicle dimensions! ๐Ÿ˜ About this feature itself cannot be written a lot of fancy things, just be amazed by all the functionalities and now different vehicles we support within one app!

    The selected travel mode applies to your tracklog and generated routes. When navigating a selected route, the travel mode of that route is used.

    render_meta_2.png

    We therefore updated the route / track information screen to clearly display the travel mode and we even allow you to change it! ๐Ÿ˜ After changing the mode, the page will refresh (which has been visually improved too!) to show the corrected distance / duration and image.

    You'll also see that the list of routes / tracks also show the travel mode icon (rather than a generic icon) ๐ŸŽ‰

    Automatic light / dark mode
    Who doesn't hate a bright screen when driving at night?
    We've added a new automatic theme to the navigation module to ensure the app switches to dark whenever it's night time or you're driving through a tunnel! ๐Ÿ™‚

    render_dark_light.png

    New way of presenting waypoint information
    A frustration for many! The top left instruction would be displaying a waypoint rather than the actual (crucial) route information. We've therefore ensured that waypoints aren't displayed there anymore.

    render_wp_info.png

    You can choose if waypoint info needs to be displayed (off / via / all) and when done so, it will be displayed like above. For viapoints the title / description will be shown when within 2km and for shaping points, when you are within 750m.

    Fastest / shortest route
    Choose between navigating the fastest or shortest route. Fastest is always default. When loading a route from the website, that choice will be honoured.

    Note: This is only supported for Car / Motorhome routes

    Edit favorites from the app
    Yes! Finally! Now you can just rename a favorite from the app ๐Ÿ˜‰
    You can also add favorites directly after searching for locations! ๐ŸŽ‰

    render_favorites.png

    Simplified map added
    We aim to add even more map styles in the future. For now, we've added an extra official HERE map style, the simplified map. This one has different colour contrasts and shows less information. Obviously all crucial information will still be displayed.

    render_lite_mode.png

    Zoom correction and improved zooming
    Do you believe the app is zoomed in too much? Or not enough? Simply apply more or less zoom correction!

    We also ensured that when driving fast or on the highway, the app zooms out slightly more than before ๐Ÿ™‚

    Updated settings
    More settings to configure all these features!

    render_settings.png

    CarPlay / Android Auto changes
    Quite some new features too! ๐Ÿ˜
    You can now:

    • Search for a destination
    • Select favorites
    • Quick POI suggestions
    • See recent searches
    • In Android Auto you can start navigating with "Hey Google..."

    render_cp.png

    Bugfixes / minors

    • Adding images from gallery
    • Stability regarding your login status within the app (sometimes you would see a login page when accessing favorites directly after launching the app / while in a bad reception area)
    • When camera warning is displayed, the buttons are no longer unreachable
    • Tracklog line slightly thinner
    • Navigation can be resumed when you do not have internet (and you started navigation with internet)
    • Improved button sensitivity so you do not accidentally miss a click on those annoyingly small close / delete buttons ๐Ÿ˜‰
    • Longer route names are now visible
    • Removed the possibility to avoid highways etc while walking or cycling

    Google location services issue Android
    An initial fix is released in this version but we do still expect some problems when these services are completely unavailable. To those who know what I'm talking about, please report back on this forum ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

    What's next?

    • More CarPlay & Android Auto features & further stability improvements
    • Voice instructions issue
    • Battery usage investigation with HERE
    • Offline maps download stability
    • Fuel stations on route

    Enjoy this update! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

    Best,
    Corjan

    @Corjan-Meijerink, I hate dark maps, because they lack detail and contrast. Of course I can disable that, but I was thinking that auto reducing the screen brightness by 50% would make a nice addition to this setting. What do you think? Better for energy too...

    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.

      @Con-Hennekens

      I agree with you.
      On my Samsung S21+ you can manually set the Screen Brightness.
      I have been using 50% from day 1 of the Beta.

        @Lynchy67, at daylight I use full brightness, but that depends largely on your device. But when it's dark it could easily be reduced by half. So if you usually drive on 80%, at night it could be reduced by 50% to 40%.

          @Con-Hennekens might be an option for later. Screen brightness will already be automatically reduced by the OS based on ambient light.

            @Corjan-Meijerink, you are right, but that usually works very bad... Also it seems to cause battery drain to use that feature, plus it is really annoying that your brightness constantly changes while riding corners ๐Ÿ˜‰

              Hello. I'm sure it's explained above but I must not have been paying attention. What is the difference when doing a route with a car or motorcycle profile?

                @Corjan-Meijerink with the 209 version, when I open a route from the Routes menu,I can change the travel mode. This is a great function. However, when I changed it and go back to the Routes menu, the icon that shows the travel mode has not been changed. When I go to the chart and open the Routes menu again, then I see that is has been changed. I think the problem is that the Routes menu is not refreshed when you go back to the Routes menu after changing the travel mode. Please have a look. Thanks.

                  @Arno-0, That indeed looks to be the case, I noticed this too. However I am not so happy with this otherwise great feature to override the setting as made in the planner. It is great that you can set a car route to motorcycle route if you picked your bike this time. But a route planned as car route should in my opinion be kept a car route in the online platform, until that gets changed in a planner function. Much like changing the avoid highway option does that only for the current drive, and not permanently in the online platform.

                    In my case I have only ever ridden motorcycles with MRA so itโ€™s no brainier for me.
                    My OCD dictates that I must have the Helmet Icon on all my routes. ๐Ÿคก

                      @Arno-0 you are very much correct! ๐Ÿ™‚
                      This will be fixed in a later, future update.
