Make locking the screen easier
-
Hi
When riding and it starts to rain I need to lock the Next/Nav screen but this is too fiddly whilst riding.
Can a padlock be added to the nav screen which will take a simple tap to lock the screen and have it as an optional feature under the settings so it can be removed when not wanted?
Thanks -
@Rob-Kelley It’s only two taps to do this now.
First tap to open navigation menu, second tap to lock the screen.Always willing to help if I can.
Triumph Tiger 1200 XRT called Tina.
MRA Navigation and SilverFox bar buttons.
Quadlock wireless mount for IPhone 11.
Cardo Scala Packtalk Bold.
TomTom Rider 500. (In the cupboard now) -
@Rob-Kelley yeah, sorry. Won't dedicate a permanent on screen button for this

@Nick-Carthew I know how to it but when I'm wearing thick gloves and doing 70 on a motorway in the rain and snow (yesterday going to the NEC) it's dangerous to try and do this.
Not everyone has a large screen and remote control, I'm using an iPhone and the text is small and almost impossible to select with big gloves on. -
@Rob-Kelley Screen space is valuable, so as Corjan has said none will be used for a lock button.
You could always set the lock before you leave, especially if you expect to see some of the wet stuff. -
Maybe a double-tap on a non-map area of the screen?
Like the directions area, top left, which is an easy area to aim for during a ride/drive.
A nice bright confirmation popup saying 'Locked' could let the user know the double-tap has worked.
It would also be wise to add a new Setting option to actively enable it just in case innocent new users starting double-tapping randomly, and lock the app.
