    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

      @Corjan-Meijerink Thanks for this. Just wondering how adding additional stops (petrol, coffee) should show; I appear to be able to select a venue in CarPlay but this does not get added to track. I understand that I am navigating as a track but curious how these will be added to the existing track or will I be able to? On the iPhone, do not have the’Add Stop’ option.

      @Dave-J-0 Good find! 🙂
      That should not be possible from CarPlay / Android Auto. The fact that it doesn't get added shows that too.

      I've made sure the button is hidden in the future beta update / release 😉

        This is one helluvan update! 😉
        Great work!

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

          Traffic warnings and reached destination pop ups are great and have worked well during use today. One little request, they disappear too quick and I find that I do not have time to read what the ‘pop up’ is saying if I am in a busy traffic environment. Personally, I could do with at least another five seconds (or configurable) before the pop up auto closes. Useful to know what others think.

          Kind Regards. Help where I can.

            I agree to that, it is too short.
            I had it today, with traffic and roadworks and reaching destination. I like the update, great work.

            One question, why is an additional-added waypoint to a route, in red and a via point? According to route experts, a red WP is for detours or shortcuts.

                @Nick-Carthew You are right, my fault.
                Anyway in my opinon, a added WP should be by default blue.

                  @Jörgen it's red because well...it's a stop 🙂
                  Makes it stand out as all your others might be blue already.
                  After passing or skipping it, it is removed from your route entirely.
                  I do not feel the need to change this.

                    @Corjan-Meijerink :

                    Hey Corjan, today I drove a test route with the car that was navigated offline as a tracklog.

                    Went very well 👍

                    During the test I stopped the navigation on the way then started a completely new one to see how a navigation as a tracklog bypasses the remote location.

                    After checking the settings everything was as expected, the location was taken over and we went directly to the destination so everything is fine 👌

                    IMG_9499.png

                    Then at the end of the third offline start came an unexpected crash! I shared this as test beta feedback.

                    That's how the settings were!

                      This remains illogical when you start a route / tracklog and check everything for errors...

                      What does that tell me if I know myself that this route is good to drive 😉

                      But it was apparently learned, wasn't it!?️

                          As said, a mistake from my side 🙂
