Navigation Next first impressions and feature request

[Erdna]

Cheers from Austria,

I tried NN for a couple of times now in Switzerland and Austria border region. Works pretty well with predefined route both on- and offline, "large" tunnel like the Pfändertunnel, when losing GPS signal in remote areas and while willingly deviating from the defined route. Thumbs up!

Some wishes:

• Audio ducking is not working good for me at speed over 60 km/h. I would prefer a solution like Osmand, that completely stops other audio like music from the mobile whenever an anouncement is made. Not highest priority for me, but it would be nice.
• POI on the map are way too small. Maybe I just have not found it by now, but the option to scale POI like fuel stations would be more than nice and safer in my opinion.
• Show POI like fuel stations and via points as symbols for next 50 km or so in a side bar like TomTom does. Don´t know if they may have patent on this.^^
• Show average speed during "Section Control" parts of the route. Already mentioned in another thread, so this is just informal. (BTW: Italy is investing massively in Section Control, so this might become more "interesting" for the devs in future. I can live without that feature, but ""QoL". Glad my Moto has Cruise Control...
• Speed indicator shows ridiculous values sometimes. Don´t know if that is because of my Pixel 6a GPS chip or the app. Maybe double-check with mobile´s Gyro? Funny when importing the Tracklog in ReLive and it shows top speed 200+ km/h in Switzerland.

In May I will be travelling to Corse and Sardegna for 12 days and that will be a 5700 km stress test I intend to do using NN only. I will update.

All the best,
André

@Erdna Hi, I used Navigation as older version last year for more than 5000km in Norway and it worked fine.

I agree to some of your suggestions like.

POI on the map are way too small. (It is may be a Here issue)
Show average speed

I have no audio or speed issue.

@Jörgen aside from POI's being too small, highway numbers are also almost uncomprehensible to see while riding.

Just to define what I meant whith that "side bar" for fuel stations.

Something like what we have in the planner could be integrated in NN, I think. Make it on top, make it on the side, but not at the botton. In my opinion, a range of 500m of current route could be comfy. In case of fuel stations, I guess that could be a great benefit. Maybe some options too chose if one would like to see other POI, but that would be bonus in my opinion.

Edit: there are not that much fuel stations in Black Forest. Image is just for presentation what I´m thinking about.

Hi guys,

I think I found half of a "workaround" for my personal audio ducking issue.^^

I start my Media Player on the mobile, start Osmand, quit Osmand, start NN and all of a sudden, music is completely muted when instructions from NN are played. Most of the time - if instructions come in short time distance, the last will be handled with simply lowering volume of music instead of stopping totally.

I´m a bit confused. It seems that Osmand is not completely shut down in the background and their "channel splitting" is applied to NN. Will try to evaluate by battery drain, but hard to compare w/o serveral runs on "lab conditions"...

Conclusion for me is that NN could be capable of doing what I would like to have w/o much effort.

Anybody here would like to cross check?

BTW: I´m using F-Droid Osmand App, not Play Store version.

Have a nice weekend, everybody.
