Font for the distance to the next turn to smal
-
To be quit honnest. The difference between the 2 is not tghat great. Yes Calimoto is a tat bigger, but just a tad. If toy compair the rest of screen you'll the advantage of MRA. But yes I would support your wish to make a few thing a bitt bigger

Last weekend, I rode several routes using the myRoute app—comparing it against my Rider 400 and the Calimoto app—in order to determine the best navigation method for my needs. I navigated solely by following the on-screen instructions, without using headphones inside my helmet.
In doing so, I found that the font size for the "next turn" indication in the myRoute app is simply too small. On a mobile phone screen, it is almost impossible to make out. Calimoto handles this much better; their turn-by-turn prompts are significantly larger, and I experienced no issues with visibility.
My request is this: Please adjust the font size for the "next turn" indication—making it at least as large as the street name.
Here is the comparison... much easier to see on Calimoto.
@Daniel-7 I agree yes the MRA text could be slightly bigger
but if anything I would object to the size of the turn symbol on the Calimoto display, how big does a turn arrow have to be!!!!!
Screen space is limited & these things will always be a compromise -
Hello—the arrow in Calimoto might be a bit too large, but the font size for the distance to the next turn is just right. I wish it were the same size in the MyRoute-app; as it stands now, it is difficult to read while riding.

@daniel-7 I completely agree with your request. As far as I’m concerned, both the distance indicator and the arrow could be much larger and more prominent on the screen.
I find the map useful around the current navigation instruction. Other than that, I mainly just want to know when the next instruction is coming up. The road layout and how sharp the upcoming bends are (an argument I see mentioned from time to time) are things I’d rather, and much more easily, get from the real world.

... Or maybe we’re just at the age where we need reading glasses.
-
That’s why I now drive with multifocal glasses that have photochromic lenses. But I don’t have a problem with that at all!

My solution, bought a bigger tablet

Yes, I do have reading glasses, but I still try to ride my motorcycle without them. Over the last 30 years, I haven't had any issues with various navigation devices; however, with the myRoute app, the most critical information—specifically "when do I need to make the next turn, and in which direction?"—appears far too small. As Calimoto demonstrates, it is certainly possible to do this differently. Please, dear myRoute Team, make this change—ideally in the very next update. I have also come across older posts indicating that this exact issue bothers other users as well. Something really needs to be changed in this area.

Personally, I like the size as it is now and I do not need a big arrow and font like Calimoto has. No idea what your age is, but the older you get the more bad your eyes usually get. Have had progressive glasses for 6 years and thats work very well, even during motorcycling. If I see your example picture, you have no problems with the tomtom size and font?
But as indicated, screen space is limited of course. I also do not know if the developer(s) can make the font individually customizable, that could be a solution for everyone. -
