Update 5.1 - CarPlay / Android Auto improvements and more!

[Hubert Thoring]

Thanks for the update

[white.mouse]

How can I tell if I have the "final" version or if I'm still using the "beta"?

[Corjan Meijerink]

@white.mouse as beta tester you will always have the beta Final version which is released has build number 462

Very, very nice work . Looking forward. Hope the issue with volume setting in AA, e.g. difference between voice and music is also adressed, preferably like the way as it is working in Flitsmeister.

5.1 is already on ios?
thx

[TomOnTour]

Soind really good. I keep my fingers crossed, that Apple and Google will make the new version available ASAP.
@maky-7-0 Corjan always uploads the iOS and Android version to the APP-stores for review and approval, but the final realease (available in the app-stores) is always with Apple or Google.

@corjan-meijerink Great job! I'd like to offer a suggestion, if I don't know if it's been read in the suggestions section. It could be a more incisive sound for speed cameras, even better if you can choose it, and maybe a double warning, the first at 400 m like now, and another at 150 m... Basically, like Garmin does... I got two tickets because I heard the first one, but I got distracted and, not having the second warning, I got the speed camera ticket... I hope this is a useful idea...thank you!!

I think you got the tickets, because you were speeding

Great work, thank you very much.

[Aiello antonino]

@guenniguenzelsen I know this very well… But in my opinion the speed camera warning is very weak, compared for example to the Garmin one, which even warns twice, the first time at 400 m and the second at 150 m.

@Aiello-antonino The speed cameras are the ones listed in Here. I'd recommend any dedicated app to run alongside them. They work better than any other navigation system (for example, in Spain, Radarbot is fantastic).

[Aiello antonino]

Thanks for the advice, but why do I have to use additional software if I already have everything I need? Just improve it in terms of sounds and number of alerts, maybe with the option to activate them...

[b0hd1]

@Aiello-antonino Because you can't add alerts. The ones you have are what they are. You can't invent them. That's why the best option is to use reliable software or make do with what's available...

[Aiello antonino]

@B0hd1 Maybe I explained myself badly... MRA is a software, right?! So developers, I don't know if you are, can decide what to add and what not... I suggested to modify/add what I wrote... it doesn't seem so incomprehensible to me... I didn't say anything about what you wrote... and the message was addressed to @corjan-meijerink...

I also suggested a year ago that the speed camera sound be customizable. Since it took three years to display the altitude, perhaps in two years it will be possible to customize the speed camera sound.

I just installed the update, and it looks like another great step forward!
I’m especially curious about CarPlay, so I gave it a quick test in the garage.
More options, easier to access, and the control buttons work again on the Goldwing (no touchscreen). The test drive is coming up soon, but I’m confident it’ll go well!

[Aiello antonino]

@ginogino Let's hope it takes less this time... I also suggested the same things a long time ago... but I wonder if the suggestions are actually read... also because the sound is actually barely perceptible as an alarm, something more decisive would be needed... on TomTom Rider 2013, there were several alarms to choose from... anyway... first alarm as it is now, 400 meters, then a second at a closer distance, perhaps based on speed, but even 150 meters would be enough, like Garmin Zumo does... I don't know how difficult it would be to program something like this, but given the splendid work they did with the latest update, I imagine they are perfectly capable of doing this too... let's hope! In the meantime, I'm enjoying the new update I downloaded this afternoon on my iPhone!

Not trying to start a debate, just curious: what problem are speed camera alerts actually solving? Or are they basically the modern version of drivers flashing headlights at each other?

[Corjan Meijerink]

@paul69 let’s not start that debate.

To all, feel free to start a topic on the speed camera warnings. This thread is not the place.

The iOS version was already available in the App Store yesterday afternoon. The Android version is still pending
