Update 5.0.3 - Device management

[Adrian Avram]

As long as you don’t restrict the app to a single device, it sounds perfect.
The reason is that some of us take two phones on longer trips as a backup, in case the main phone gets stolen, damaged, or lost.
Other than that, I’m looking forward to version 5.1.

@Adrian-Avram no definitely not.
2 is totally allowed
3 is with the required unlisting of another device (very smooth experience)
4 results in an issue

@Corjan-Meijerink thanks for the confirmation !

Does 4 mean that the heavy mob will be knocking on the door

V5.0.3 is available for iOS in the store

[silberfuchs67]

Sorry for asking, but I want to be sure that I understood the new handling. Using the navigation app on two devices and planning in the browser on my Mac/PC is still possible?

[Corjan Meijerink]

@silberfuchs67 100%!

[silberfuchs67]

Thanks, exactly what is fine for me

[Corjan Meijerink]

@silberfuchs67 that’s why we’ve chosen the limits as is

That said, the restriction only applies for the app anyway

I tried the new app yesterday on my bike. Even in this version of Android Auto, there's a bug where starting a route from Android Auto while you're already on the route takes you back to the starting point. I wonder what the point is of reporting bugs if they aren't fixed.
Otherwise, everything works as usual.

[Adrian Avram]

@ginogino thats not a bug !
Before starting a route, go to Routing Settings and choose whether you want to begin from the nearest point on the route.
If this option is enabled, when you are already on the route, navigation will no longer direct you to the first waypoint.
As I know, on Android Auto/Car Play, when starting a route, it automatically takes you to the the beginning of the route.

I agree with the policy, except it caught me out just before a trip.

I did have the app installed on:
My personal phone
My personal travel phone
My personal tablet
And My work phone

So I decided to update them all before my trip and I'm locked out of my mobile app account.

Lock me out of them all but let me delete what devices I want / have to via the web page / account instead of annoying support and now waiting for a resolution before I leave in 10 hours.

Misschien een optie om in een evt. sw update van de app te zorgen dat de gebruiker in de account settings - Mijn Apparaten evt. zelf de mogelijkheid heeft om een apparaat te activeren / deactiveren.
Zie bv TiviMate

I received an email about the update and restrictions about an hour after I posted this. I wish I received the email a day ago.

But still, it would be good to remove devices via the web interface. I lose my phone it's gone, get a new one, break my limit, seek support.

Hi.
A wee bit confused here.

1. In the email I received, it says "For €4.95 per month, you can continue to use our premium navigation app on two devices.." Does this apply to Routeplanner Gold and Navigation Next Lifetime members?
2. Presumably the two device limit doesn't include the Routeplanning webpage accessible via PC?
   Thanks.

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Charles-Rijken-0 Dat kan al!

[Corjan Meijerink]

@dungbeetle The restriction only applies to the app for Navigation Next users.
Lifetime users indeed never have to pay again but the device limit also applies to them.

[richard 3v]

Just a general point of view here, (and I will say now that this "change" does not affect me in any way), but it seems strange to me that you are able to change the rules for people who already have "lifetime" subscriptions taken out on the previous terms.

@Corjan-Meijerink

Thanx

[Corjan Meijerink]

@richard-3v Not more strange than our suppliers changing the terms of our contracts forcing us to do this
