    Hi everyone! 👋

    It has been over a month since the 4.3.3 beta was started 😮
    The wait has been worth it for sure as we have been cracking our heads to improve the core of our app. Obviously it's nice to create fun features but after all we are a navigation app so it also makes sense to improve the navigation itself 😉

    A lot of fundamental aspects have been improved beyond imagination 🎉 With this update, the app will become your default go-to navigation app! I am extremely proud of the work Joost and I have accomplished 💪

    Track navigation

    Yes, it existed. With that, most was said.
    Generate a scenic route or roundtour and away you go!
    Diverting from the route or losing an internet connection would result in major issues 😞

    Now not anymore! 🎉 💥

    Track navigation works completely offline! When you go offline (either by choice or chance) the track navigation will continue working and recalculating! There might be minor differences compared to the online calculation but you are warned about that. Besides that, the original calculation will always remain visible 😉

    render_track.png

    When you divert from your track, you will be redirected to the nearest logical point on the track. Yes, you might be sent back (depending on the location) but eventually (or immediately) you will be sent to another logical point on the track. Do you want to navigate to another section of the track? Just long press near the point where you want to rejoin! 😏

    render_resume.png

    Do you prefer navigating routes as track? Leave the already existing setting as you have it and away you go! 🎉 This works similar to the GPX 1.2 format on your Garmin.

    render_skip.png

    This means that even while navigating a track, you can skip your viapoints 💥 How amazing is that! Because you are navigating a track, shapingpoints are obviously not included. After skipping a viapoint, the fastest route is calculated to the next viapoint 😃

    When loading a track, you can now also change the setting to start from the nearest point on the track!

    render_nearby.png

    Long pressing near the point where you want to continue your track, also works before starting the navigation!

    render_nearest.png

    With this update, track navigation has been elevated to a level you could not have imagined. To be brutally honest, I have ridden a lot of routes as tracks and this might become my preferred method of navigating 🙂

    Dynamic routing

    Whenever you're going from A to B, you often get into traffic and a faster route becomes available. When you've enabled traffic optimisation we will now continuously search for faster routes! 🎉

    render_dynamic.png

    render_cp_dynamic.png

    After accepting the new route (which will happen when you don’t decide within a certain time) you will still see the original route.

    Traffic warnings

    For all types of navigation, it is interesting to know if you are driving into traffic or pass an accident. Now that we are introducing the dynamic routing as explained above, it makes a lot of sense to also warn about traffic related events on your route.

    render_construction.png

    render_cp_construction.png

    We will inform you about:

    • Traffic flow delays (significantly queued traffic)
    • Traffic incidents (accidents, closed lanes etc)
    • Road work (known construction)

    You can choose the enabled categories yourself from the settings.
    When enabled we will show an icon on the map, update the line to show the length of the delay and push a visual / audio warning.

    If a faster alternative route is available, that will automatically be suggested too! 🎉

    Destination reached

    The amount of discussion on this topic on the forum has been incredible. Since the release of the app, people have different preferences regarding what the app should do when arriving at your destination.

    render_destination_reached.png

    Now the app will prompt to stop navigation after reaching it.
    The default setting is that navigation will stop.
    You can disable this behavior. In that case, when no choice is made, it will continue navigating as it currently does.

    Updated settings

    Check out all the updated settings and play around!
    Most changes are within the functional settings 🙂

    render_settings.png

    Automatic recalculations
    Garmin people will love this too! You can now turn off the automatic recalculations. This will force you to drive back to your route by yourself 😉 We will show the original route (as we always do) and stop actively guiding you back.

    Stop tracklog when stopping navigation
    You can now make the tracklog pause when you stop navigating automatically. Saving is always up to you 🙂

    Scaling improvement
    Some people had very small icons / lines (especially on high resolution CarPlay / Android Auto devices) while using the app. We've improved the scaling behavior of these elements on different screen sizes. Besides that, in CP / AA the shown speed limit and current speed is increased in size for those big displays.

    Visual settings CarPlay / Android Auto
    When you disable some visual elements from the settings, these are now also applied in CP / AA. Relevant ones are:

    • Speed limit
    • Visual warnings
    • Lane instructions

    Position indicator size
    You can now also increase / decrease the size of the position indicator

    Minor improvements

    • Better camera animations regarding tilt
    • Back button behavior Android on home screen
    • More waypoint information on skipping / resuming
    • Position indicator not off screen when rotating phone anymore in some situations
    • Improved shown original route data
    • Slight changes to automatic waypoint skip algorithm
    • Zoom level freedrive in CarPlay / Android Auto

    What's next?
    Well most of all, gathering your feedback and checking if everything works as expected. Besides that, the end of the year is approaching so not sure how much more massive things we will do before that 😉
    In this (and the last) updates we really try to focus on the core of the app. Previous updates had a lot of stability improvements and this one improves the navigational core of the app. My guess is, we will focus on any issues before releasing this and improving the stability further 🙂

    Cheers,
    Corjan

          Just WOW! Looks like an incredible amount of work. Too bad my riding season is over with the arrival of winter. 😭 I'll try to do some testing in the car. Great work!

            This is why sensible people buys apps, not GPS hardware - the ability to improve and turn around those improvements in months, not years.

            And, just as importantly, add or modify features because real users asked you to do it, not the 'marketing' department.

            Good work Corjan, Joost.

Do you want to navigate to another section of the track? Just long press near the point where you want to rejoin! 😏

                For all types of navigation, it is interesting to know if you are driving into traffic or pass an accident. Now that we are introducing the dynamic routing as explained above, it makes a lot of sense to also warn about traffic related events on your route.

                render_construction.png

                render_cp_construction.png

                We will inform you about:

                You can choose the enabled categories yourself from the settings.
                When enabled we will show an icon on the map, update the line to show the length of the delay and push a visual / audio warning.

                If a faster alternative route is available, that will automatically be suggested too! 🎉

                Destination reached

                The amount of discussion on this topic on the forum has been incredible. Since the release of the app, people have different preferences regarding what the app should do when arriving at your destination.

                Now the app will prompt to stop navigation after reaching it.
                The default setting is that navigation will stop.
                You can disable this behavior. In that case, when no choice is made, it will continue navigating as it currently does.

                Updated settings

                Check out all the updated settings and play around!
                Most changes are within the functional settings 🙂

                render_settings.png

                Automatic recalculations
                Garmin people will love this too! You can now turn off the automatic recalculations. This will force you to drive back to your route by yourself 😉 We will show the original route (as we always do) and stop actively guiding you back.

                Stop tracklog when stopping navigation
                You can now make the tracklog pause when you stop navigating automatically. Saving is always up to you 🙂

                Scaling improvement
                Some people had very small icons / lines (especially on high resolution CarPlay / Android Auto devices) while using the app. We've improved the scaling behavior of these elements on different screen sizes. Besides that, in CP / AA the shown speed limit and current speed is increased in size for those big displays.

                Visual settings CarPlay / Android Auto
                When you disable some visual elements from the settings, these are now also applied in CP / AA. Relevant ones are:

                • Speed limit
                • Visual warnings
                • Lane instructions

                Position indicator size
                You can now also increase / decrease the size of the position indicator

                Minor improvements

                • Better camera animations regarding tilt
                • Back button behavior Android on home screen
                • More waypoint information on skipping / resuming
                • Position indicator not off screen when rotating phone anymore in some situations
                • Improved shown original route data
                • Slight changes to automatic waypoint skip algorithm
                • Zoom level freedrive in CarPlay / Android Auto

                What's next?
                Well most of all, gathering your feedback and checking if everything works as expected. Besides that, the end of the year is approaching so not sure how much more massive things we will do before that 😉
                In this (and the last) updates we really try to focus on the core of the app. Previous updates had a lot of stability improvements and this one improves the navigational core of the app. My guess is, we will focus on any issues before releasing this and improving the stability further 🙂

                  Hi everyone! 👋

                  It has been over a month since the 4.3.3 beta was started 😮
                  The wait has been worth it for sure as we have been cracking our heads to improve the core of our app. Obviously it's nice to create fun features but after all we are a navigation app so it also makes sense to improve the navigation itself 😉

                  A lot of fundamental aspects have been improved beyond imagination 🎉 With this update, the app will become your default go-to navigation app! I am extremely proud of the work Joost and I have accomplished 💪

                  Track navigation

                  Yes, it existed. With that, most was said.
                  Generate a scenic route or roundtour and away you go!
                  Diverting from the route or losing an internet connection would result in major issues 😞

                  Now not anymore! 🎉 💥

                  Track navigation works completely offline! When you go offline (either by choice or chance) the track navigation will continue working and recalculating! There might be minor differences compared to the online calculation but you are warned about that. Besides that, the original calculation will always remain visible 😉

                  render_track.png

                  When you divert from your track, you will be redirected to the nearest logical point on the track. Yes, you might be sent back (depending on the location) but eventually (or immediately) you will be sent to another logical point on the track. Do you want to navigate to another section of the track? Just long press near the point where you want to rejoin! 😏

                  render_resume.png

                  Do you prefer navigating routes as track? Leave the already existing setting as you have it and away you go! 🎉 This works similar to the GPX 1.2 format on your Garmin.

                  render_skip.png

                  This means that even while navigating a track, you can skip your viapoints 💥 How amazing is that! Because you are navigating a track, shapingpoints are obviously not included. After skipping a viapoint, the fastest route is calculated to the next viapoint 😃

                  When loading a track, you can now also change the setting to start from the nearest point on the track!

                  render_nearby.png

                  Long pressing near the point where you want to continue your track, also works before starting the navigation!

                  render_nearest.png

                  With this update, track navigation has been elevated to a level you could not have imagined. To be brutally honest, I have ridden a lot of routes as tracks and this might become my preferred method of navigating 🙂

                  Dynamic routing

                  Whenever you're going from A to B, you often get into traffic and a faster route becomes available. When you've enabled traffic optimisation we will now continuously search for faster routes! 🎉

                  render_dynamic.png

                  render_cp_dynamic.png

                  After accepting the new route (which will happen when you don’t decide within a certain time) you will still see the original route.

                  Traffic warnings

                  For all types of navigation, it is interesting to know if you are driving into traffic or pass an accident. Now that we are introducing the dynamic routing as explained above, it makes a lot of sense to also warn about traffic related events on your route.

                  render_construction.png

                  render_cp_construction.png

                  We will inform you about:

                  • Traffic flow delays (significantly queued traffic)
                  • Traffic incidents (accidents, closed lanes etc)
                  • Road work (known construction)

                  You can choose the enabled categories yourself from the settings.
                  When enabled we will show an icon on the map, update the line to show the length of the delay and push a visual / audio warning.

                  If a faster alternative route is available, that will automatically be suggested too! 🎉

                  Destination reached

                  The amount of discussion on this topic on the forum has been incredible. Since the release of the app, people have different preferences regarding what the app should do when arriving at your destination.

                  render_destination_reached.png

                  Now the app will prompt to stop navigation after reaching it.
                  The default setting is that navigation will stop.
                  You can disable this behavior. In that case, when no choice is made, it will continue navigating as it currently does.

                    Nice update, thank you!! 👏👏👏

                    Question, I would like to pause the navigation (and the track) during, for example, a tank stop or a visit to a restaurant. I don’t want the MRA app to charge my battery unnecessarily during the break and keep hearing instructions coming out of my pocket. What is the best way to do that with the current app? Placing the app to the background is not enough, is it? So choose to stop navigation? That is very inconvenient, because you always have to restart the route. Or can that be done very quickly? Is a “pause navigation” button might be useful?

                      Thank you, I'm very interested in testing it, but first in the car 😉

                        Wow, you've been really busy the last month, well done.

                        Can you please explain what the difference is now when I choose a route to navigate or a track?

                        To drive a planned route with via points now as a track with via points and to set the automatic recalculation to off beforehand. So the picture remains much clearer to stay on the planned path even if there are disturbances on the track.

                        This can now be done via the navigation settings / functions 👍

                          @Jörgen not very much! The route calculation uses the individual waypoints and when placed correctly is the same as the track.

                          The track however really uses the data how the route originally created 🙂

                          The improvement is really to ensure that the navigation of any route or track you drive is perfect! A lot of users get a GPX file from tour operators which is a track. This then leads to unexpected results but not anymore! 🎉

                          Try it yourself and notice how it feels the same 😉

                            Nice update, thank you!! 👏👏👏

                            Question, I would like to pause the navigation (and the track) during, for example, a tank stop or a visit to a restaurant. I don’t want the MRA app to charge my battery unnecessarily during the break and keep hearing instructions coming out of my pocket. What is the best way to do that with the current app? Placing the app to the background is not enough, is it? So choose to stop navigation? That is very inconvenient, because you always have to restart the route. Or can that be done very quickly? Is a “pause navigation” button might be useful?

                            @CD130 that’s easy: stop and resume is the way to go and works perfect 🙂

                              @Corjan-Meijerink I’m looking forward to testing Stop navigation on destination reached and Pause tracklog automatically a great addition to an already very capable navigation app.
                              I’m assuming that with these new features, I can put the bike away, go inside and take my bike gear off, make a coffee and then save the tracklog?
                              Whereas before, it always seemed like a rush to stop navigation and tracklog and then save.

                                @Nick-Carthew that’s entirely correct! 🙂
                                Do make sure the destination can actually be reached for it to stop. Otherwise it will still trigger when a recalculation happens extremely close to this destination 😉

                                  @Corjan-Meijerink Really liking the changes but I have been trying some different settings with routes that I have to run as tracks. Where I have a circular route, the track is very different to the route. An example for this route and is similar to a number of these training routes I use for Advanced Riding with the same problem although this is probably the worst example:

                                  As a route:

                                  IMG_0843.png

                                  Change to route as track:
                                  IMG_0845.png

                                  The track display showing the start now at the end with nothing else (white planned route):
                                  IMG_0847.png

                                  Waypoint order has now changed:
                                  IMG_0848.png

                                  Not what I was expecting and thought I should highlight here.

                                  Kind Regards. Help where I can.

                                    @CD130 I stop navigation when I stop for a break. I also pause the tracklog. When I'm ready to head out again I resume navigation. The tracklog automatically starts again.

                                      @Dave-J-0 does not seem too strange to be honest. You’re not near the start and it seems te finish is closest to you. Try turning off “start nearest point on track” or simply longpress anywhere on the first section of the track.

                                      Waypoints only include the viapoints with the original number (as changing that into order would make you loose sense of the viapoint numbering).

                                      Edit: after further investigation, the behavior is indeed not logic and is improved in a new beta / the release 🙂 Thanks @Dave-J-0!

                                          @Corjan-Meijerink said in New beta! 4.3.4 (369) - massive navigation improvements:

                                          Try turning off “start nearest point on track”

                                          This was ‘off’ for the missing loop which is why I thought it strange. If I select this on then the full loop appears to be correct and shown.

                                          Aware that the ‘route as track’ will only show vias but if i select ‘waypoints’ then i receive a white box:

                                          image0.png

                                          Should this not show the info for the vias?

                                          Great work, love what the MRA Team are doing.

                                          Kind Regards. Help where I can.
