Search for POI while navigating - weird logic now
-
I was using MRA to navigate yesterday and needed a petrol station. It was on CarPlay so I clicked the search button and then the petrol-station button.
Why on earth does it not try and find a petrol station that is convenient along the route already being navigated? It just finds all the closest stations to where I am currently, which makes zero sense when on the motorway for instance.I also tried to search for the name of a specific supermarket chain that I needed to visit and got just as useless a result. The current logic will make you turn around and do massive detours, as far as I can see anyway. It working this way makes the search feature virtually useless for me as it is.
Could this be optimized? I would prefer it finds the places that makes the smallest possible detours along the route already being navigated.
It would be even better if it could show the found places on a map, instead of only a list, but I realize that is a pretty big UI change.

@Jon-Hye-Knudsen When you are navigating a route, you can see the icon for fuel stations along the route on your phone. Not all of the functionality that is available on your phone has already been implemented in CarPlay. This is partly because Apple does not allow everything, and partly because the development is not yet that far. In version 5, the search function has already been significantly improved. In my region, the petrol stations are displayed correctly. This may be due to incomplete data on the map, which unfortunately is something MRA cannot influence.
