Update 5.0 - The best just got better

[Rob Verhoeff]

@Ronny-Schenkels-0 I definitely don’t deny that there are issues with both Android Auto and CarPlay. I personally don’t experience those problems, partly because I only use CarPlay in wired mode in my car. I read a lot about connection issues caused by different interfaces like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, combined with all sorts of exotic devices such as Chigees, Carpurides, and whatever other brands are out there. And then the helmet also needs to connect wirelessly through one of those channels if you're a biker! Someone once told me: every extra layer is an extra layer of complexity… And you can’t really deny that either. But I think things have improved quite a bit in version 5

Kijk er naar uit!

@Ronny-Schenkels-0 improved quite a bit but I won’t deny that those systems remain complex

Fantastic work guys, congratulations!

Very nice update! It was a bit confusing that the map was different than the one when navigating.

However, is there still an option to view another map when not navigating?
I really liked the Outdoor map when I was on my holiday, used it a lot.

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Mathijsco want to reintroduce that later on.
For now there are some technical issues at HERE allowing me to do that

Een ding is verwarrend, kan aan mij liggen, maar bij vermijdingsopties moet je groen kiezen om niet te vermijden en rood om te vermijden. Je verwacht dat als iets actief is, groen dus, dat je iets gaat vermijden.

Als je op de ... drukt bij een route krijg je het tandwieltje te zien voor instellingen en daarnaast de kaartlaag maar de kaartlaag staat ook in de instellingen is dit niet dubbel op?

Hi, on the main screen, when using the device in landscape mode, how can I hide the menu in free ride mode? Any updates regarding displaying speed limits in free ride mode? Thanks.

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Manzo91 Not until we actually have a dedicated well functioning free ride mode
If you have a cycle / walking route there will be a free drive option in which the menu is smaller.

For other (normal) routes, this is a slightly hidden feature (by design) but you can long press the navigate button to trigger free drive.

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Cleo Dubbel op zeker! Ik had het in het menu weggehaald maar toen was er al paniek bij de testers omdat ze het niet konden vinden

Je geeft niet zozeer de vermijding aan maar waar je over wilt rijden: groen is dus wel en rood is niet. Ik snap je punt (hoewel dit niet veranderd is in de app sinds jaren).

[Manzo91]

@Corjan-Meijerink ok, but if i don't want to use a route and i want to ride free and see only the map ?

[Rob Verhoeff]

@Manzo91 Turn your device in portret mode... Then the menu is just small at the bottom. We have to wait until the freeride mode is there.

[Manzo91]

@Rob-Verhoeff so i've to wait because the device i use is fixed in landscape mode.
Thanks

@Corjan-Meijerink said in Update 5.0 - The best just got better:

You're not really specifying the avoidance, but rather the desired route: green is acceptable and red is unacceptable. I understand your point (although this hasn't changed in the app in years).

It is slightly confusing to call it ‘Avoidance Options’ as I preferred the ‘Allowed Roads’ previously used that fitted well with the red and green button. Just thinking that the use of ‘avoidance’ would be confusing for new users.

[Corrado Miniati 0]

If I may offer a suggestion, in Italian language, the English term "Avoidance Options" would be better understood as simply "Evitare".
Then, in the menu that opens, enable or disable the options.

@Corjan-Meijerink Ik denk dat het taalkundig fout gaat in mijn hoofd, de vraag is vermijdingsopties en lijkt me juist groen iets dat je wil vermijden. Maar aangezien het ook in de voorgaande versie zat en er geen taal purist lid is en ik die taalkundig niet erg goed uit de verf kom zeur er over, het kan verkeren.
Het is eigenlijk een onopgemerkte fout die er al een tijd in zit.
