New beta! 5.1 (457)

[peha]

Sadly, still nothing (PlayStore, Germany). It's a pity that Google needs that long for the approval. But well, there's no alternative but to wait further. ‍️

@peha Yeah, I'm a bit sad about that too!

@bluetuz We've included this in the definitive 5.1 release!
When within the distance that the app would also show the name of the upcoming waypoint, this is also done in CP / AA It will be shown in the field for the next instruction.

@Corjan-Meijerink Amazing!!! You guys are the best!!! I can't wait to try it on my current trip and give you feedback. Thank you so much!

Why is the Android version not available after 7 days?

[b0hd1]

@Jörgen I think we should ask Mr. Google that...

Guys, chill out - Android has always taken 1 - 2 weeks longer than iOS. It was the same with the last update...

My 4-day trip to Belgium is almost over. I had hoped to try out the beta version, but unfortunately, it’s still not available. Bad luck.

Mijn 4-daagse trip in België zit er bijna op. Ik had gehoopt de beta te kunnen proberen. Maar helaas nog steeds niet beschikbaar. Pech gehad.

Okay, folks. First field test of version 5.1. I don't know if anyone else has had a chance to try it yet.

I'm always referring to Android Auto.

First, the waypoint list doesn't work. I had a route loaded of about 300km with several waypoints, and when I went into the AA menu, it just kept loading, and no matter how long I waited, the list never appeared.

Second, the name of the next waypoint doesn't appear on the main screen at any point, not even when you approach it, unlike in the app.

Third, the altitude isn't displayed on the screen.

Another thing that needs improvement is the order of the buttons in the app's menu within AA. For example, the WP list appears last, and I think it's something that's used repeatedly, so it should be near the top.

One thing I liked is the Next WP icon that now appears on the main screen and tells you what kind of WP it is (food, photo, coffee, etc.) and how far away it is. It's quite useful. It seems to be running smoothly.

@bluetuz thanks for the feedback.

1: I’ll investigate this tomorrow
2: already added for the updated beta version before definitive release. That’s indeed not in the version you have now.
3: is the setting enabled? See “screen layout”
4: we have reordered buttons already which be available in the next pre-release version (just like 2)

Glad it runs smoothly

@Corjan-Meijerink Thank you for the quick response.
I have the setting enabled for point 3.
I appreciate the effort you're making; I think the foundation of this app is very solid, and improvements will gradually be implemented to make it even better.
