Update 5.1 - CarPlay / Android Auto improvements and more!

[Ewout D]

I got to try out the update today while driving with CarPlay. What a huge improvement! The map is much more detailed, and I find the compass (with altimeter) really handy, along with the arrows showing the route direction. The settings are more comprehensive and easier to configure. I think the gas station icon works with a touchscreen, but not with the Goldwing. It doesn’t have a touchscreen; it’s controlled with buttons. I’m happy with this update—I’ll really be able to enjoy it next month during a long motorcycle trip!

@Ewout-D gas station icon is not tappable. Like any other icons. Only buttons work due to CP / AA limitations.

Search for fuel using the quick POI search and the suggested fuel station will be the first in the list and indicated as such

Daar had ik het ook al zien staan, hartstikke goed zo!

Does anyone know if the Android version has been released yet?

Weet iemand of de Android versie al vrijgegeven is?

not yet :(,

best to check it... holddown the app icon, then press (i) (beside the name) scroll down to "app gegevens in winkel" , press and wait.

Maybe I missed it ,but is the "spinning map" issue also fixed?

@Rene-2a-0 It's waiting until the Here SDK has been updatet by Here. It's fixed on the MRA side, but due to a bug in the Here SDK not yet implemeted!

I agree with this user... and I even suggest the idea of ​​allowing the user to adjust the radar warning distance within a certain range (to their liking). Also, the radar alert tone should be selectable from a small library of sounds... so the user can choose their preferred sound.

In short, being able to adjust both the radar warning distance and the alert sound would be a good improvement for future versions of the navigation system.

At the moment, personally it would be enough for me to have a GOOD SUUNO, clearly audible at two fixed distances. One I wrote, as well as Garmin does, then for the rest, it would be great... but it's okay even in a second half

Google takes its time. Still no update available.

@Rob-Verhoeff Given how HERE seems to have increased their costs toward MRA (hence the start of enforced device limits and the risen price), one would hope they fix it soon. I'm very annoyed by this, and my confidence to see this fixed before my next bigger trip in 4 weeks keeps shrinking... I do understand that MRA is dependent on HERE in this regard, but this bug has persisted at least since November-it's unfortunate that, as a user, I can only hope and wait. (The icing on the cake is Google taking its dear time to approve updates on Android, thus prolonging the whole thing even more, even once it's fixed.) (Just to clarify, I'm not blaming MRA here, I don't think there'd more to be done from their side.)

[Corjan Meijerink]

Can confirm HERE released their update yesterday.
Expecting to implement that tomorrow in the app and push towards a quick Alpha / Beta / release.

I'll even try to add POI management / persistent map items and road avoidance features
Hopefully their SDK works as expected with the fix for map spinning.

@Corjan-Meijerink Wow, that is some unexpected good news you have here! Very glad to hear this - thank you!

[white.mouse]

Well, in abouth 14 days I'll leave for a 12 day motor trip in Norway. I hope that I will have this Beta vesion by then!
