Here's one I mocked up 3 years ago exactly as you suggested:

Still looking foward to it!

It is a shame that nothing has been done about this problem in the three years since your post. Apparently, listening to individual users and their issues is not a high enough priority for the myRoute development team.

@Corjan-Meijerink
It would be great if someone from the myRoute team could comment on this.

@Daniel-7 It’s vacation season. There will be for sure no awnser the next 14 days!

Oh, Corjan and the team definitely listen! I definitely wasn't complaining at the level of support - it's truly outstanding for the app world.

It's just that particular issue seems to have slipped through the net.

There is, of course, the possiblity that we're both wrong, and the rest of the world can easily read it on a shaking phone at 60/70mph.

And when the sun shines on the screen, it becomes even harder to see anything—even though my phone’s screen is already quite bright.
When using Calimoto, I didn’t have any trouble seeing the distance to the next turn.
I don’t think it would be a big deal to increase the font size for the distance to the next turn; after all, they’ve already released much more extensive updates.

Otherwise, I’m really happy with MRA.

Now that you mention it, yes... At that speed I can still read my screen just fine. Or does that have more to do with the souplesse of my bike and the vibrationdemper under my phone?

@rob-verhoeff I do think it’s related to the mount, because it works perfectly fine on my thumping twin-cylinder bike as well 🫨

@con-hennekens You are so right. Vibrating phone mounts on your bike are the most horrible accessories you can find. When you have a bad (mostly cheap) mount, is doesn't matter how large the font size is. The text still won't be the easy to read.

My mount is very good.
There is very little vibration .
It is clearly due to the font size.🫣

I have to agree that the font size of some elements is way too small. I use AA on a Honda NT1100 and with the new version, quickly glancing at the screen makes reading the speed and distance to next manoeuvre easy – no issues there. I also don’t face any difficulties with the distance to the subsequent manoeuvre but it seems others do. However, the distance to the next waypoint is too small. I have to lean forward quite a bit to read it which I think makes this unsafe. I like this new feature, but it’s current implementation is far from ideal. Similarly with the altitude. These are good and worthwhile features to have and we know about the issues with screen “real estate” and competing demands for clarity and more features, but having them when they can’t be read easily or safely strikes me as being an area for development. The exit number on the roundabout symbol is currently just too small to be of any use.
