Updated beta! 5.2.1 (486)

[Corjan Meijerink]

Hi all!

Yes....Google is taking it's time to check Android.
Nothing I can do about that.

While waiting I've already given them something new to check!
iOS available instantly for beta testers.

Nothing new, no features or whatsover.
Only stability improvements!

What I need from you? More driving.
What I need from Google? Quicker review!

Cheers,
Corjan

It's way too hot in the Rhineland for riding a motorcycle. This heat slows everything down. It'll be better next week.

@Jörgen

If you find wheather is "hot" in Germany... better don't come to Spain. Here, 40 degrees are on fire this days.

Regards!!!

Even in the Netherlands we have been experiencing 35 to 39 degrees for a never seen before extended period.

• Search other areas on the map.
  Checked and working well.

• Vehicle specific (online) search suggestions.
  Checked and working well.
  I used By foot as transport mode and the app suggested places for drinking water, picnic stops, shelters etc etc all were correct.
  I then used Bicycle, some bicycle shops and bicycle repair places were missing from my local area but others were found, that’s map data not the app.
  As I live in a tourist area Motorhome transport mode gives me a long list of campsites and facilities locally. I also checked this in other areas of the UK and it worked perfectly.
  There are some motorcycle shop/repair places missing in Motorcycle mode but again that’s missing map data.

So to summarise I would say that vehicle specific search is working well.

• Fix not being able to navigate to a POI
  Navigate to a POI is fixed.

• Allow editing POI name
  Editing a POI name is fixed.

• Major stability improvements app and CarPlay
  I can’t comment on this as I have no access to CarPlay and the only instability I have had with the app is the occasional freezing of the upcoming waypoint and map spinning when stationary. I will of course send feedback should the upcoming waypoint freeze again. I’m sort of used to the map spinning now, I will miss it when HERE fixes it.

• Improve app loading
  App loading was never an issue for me.

Maybe MRA could do a deal with HERE:

• give MRA users the option to 'Add a Missing Place' from within the app/planner (HERE has one but very few users will know that, or bother to look)
• HERE gives MRA the updates first as a reward for improving their dataset

Not a core feature, but it deflects complaints about data quality.

Good quality crowd-sourced data is tricky to gather. If I was HERE I'd be paying MRA to develop it.

Just noticed that the waypoint list is now shown after tapping Navigate - nice touch

[Dave J 0]

I am not seeing that @Nick-Carthew. Can you provide a screenshot of what is shown please? I am intrigued.

[Nick Carthew]

@Dave-J-0 After tapping the Navigate button, above the Avoidance options and Routing settings is now the Waypoints list.

Which is great as you can now open the list and select your starting waypoint, here I have chosen waypoint 5.

[Dave J 0]

@Nick-Carthew. Thanks. that clarifies. I was thinking it was a list but this is great stuff. Much appreciated.

[Dave J 0]

@Nick-Carthew. Great that the picture shows where the origional route was. Top job.

[Corjan Meijerink]

That’s for sure not new

When was it introduced as I don’t recall seeing it before?

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Nick-Carthew that waypoint list has been there since absolutely forever!

Sorry for my late reply, I've just returned from the opticians! Can you write any future update announcements in Braille please.

Yesterday 400km used the app without any problems

[M. Schrijver]

Google is doing a good job. Still no update today. Checked 2 hours ago.

[white.mouse]

Well, last time it took about a week so we have some 3 days more to wait for the last release!
But I do not understand why it is taking so long before 480 is released by Google.
