MyRoute-App on the TomTom Rider

[Jörgen]

Hey there, some resourceful programmers have found a way to install an Android system on the TomTom Rider. This means you can now run the MyRoute-app on the device, among other things.
Once the beta testing is complete, installation instructions will be available.
More on this in the coming days.

Great April's fools prank :)))))))

April April

But very well done

[Adrian Avram]

It really would have been great to have such a device running MRA

[Adrian Avram]

Since Nick has moved this topic to Suggestions and Discussions .... I suggest that it would be a great idea that MRA should release their own device .... DMD who ?
MRA sounds better :)))

[Marinus van Deudekom]

@Adrian-Avram I like that idea but I know the team won't go there. To much trouble ahead

[Con Hennekens]

I have been rooting for such a device for a long time...

[Aiello antonino]

I was just thinking about this these days! It would be great if MRA had its own navigation device!

[M. Schrijver]

Clearly a April's Fool. It looks nice though
The screen is to sharp (high resolution). The Rider has a low resolution screen and because of that it is a kind of fuzzy/blurry screen.

A dedicated MRA navigation device. I don't know if that is good idea.
It will add a lot of work for the developers. Because the team is responsible for the device itself also.

I think it would mean a separate team for hardware and hardware support. You cannot have developers maintaining a hardware product. Different skill set. If I am not mistaken these possibilities have been thought through and dismissed already in the past

however cool a dedicated MRA device would be, with cheap devices that allow android auto and carplay it removes the overhead of trying to support hardware with 1000s of different types of phones. The MRA team do enough work keeping the app uo to date with our ever changing needs

The overhead of supporting AA/CP is also a significant one...
And the use of it is uncomparable to the native app.

@Con-Hennekens You're right. It's incomparable. The Android Auto or CarPlay app, controlled natively from the Wonderwheel, is infinitely more convenient and effective than the "native" one.

@b0hd1, let's agree to disagree.
