ETA icon not displayed in Android Auto

[Léon Hassing]

Today I drove for the first time with the new app version 6.0.0. (532). What I observed is that the icon for the ETA information is missing. I only see a cross (see screenshot). I have tried with all possible values (way-point, via-point and finish). In all situations it's the same. When I look on the phone I do see the correct icon (finish flag). Is this is error?

[Corjan Meijerink]

Sorry, don't drive with Android Auto often.

What happens if you press the icon?
I can confirm that it's not designed to show any MRA info so this is probably something default from your Android Auto.
What version Android / Android Auto are you using?

[Léon Hassing]

As far as I know the navigation stops, but I'm not sure. The version of AA I use is 17.9.664044. In the previous version I didn't see this cross, but the normal icon (e.g. finish flag).

[Corjan Meijerink]

Good! Then this is simply the exit button of Android Auto

Nothing from us. All as expected then.
I'll research if we can do anything with this "button" but no priority now.

[Léon Hassing]

Then why didn't this occur in the previous app version (5.2.2)?

[Marinus van Deudekom]

@Corjan-Meijerink of you push that button the route will be ended. The ETA is shown 15.26

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Léon-Hassing We've updated some internal supported versions I never drive with Android Auto and in the devices I tested this never appeared.
It's a combination between the device / Android version / Android Auto version.

Nobody from Alpha / Beta reported this so you are the first to discover
As said, I'll check if we can do something with it.
But having an exit button there is not that bad by itself.

[Marinus van Deudekom]

@Corjan-Meijerink I will check it tonight on a short ride

[Marinus van Deudekom]

@Corjan-Meijerink what I already suspected. In the left corner is the ETA visible
The X in that button ends the route!

[Corjan Meijerink]

Looks good

I would also much rather see the corresponding icon instead of an "X." If we want all vehicles to have CarPlay/Android Auto, we need to work together to create a really attractive navigation system.

P.S. Over the weekend, I’ll run some tests with my Chigee, and I’ll let you know if I come across anything else.

[Òscar]

I just updated AA to the latest version, and that "ugly" X is still there...

[Corjan Meijerink]

Complain with Google

[Òscar]

@Corjan-Meijerink I’m sure we could complain directly to Google (I’m not actually sure where to do that—if you could point me in the right direction, I’d be happy to), but I’m also convinced that you have much more influence than we do... hehe.
Don’t get tired of making magic!!!

On the other hand, although everything points to it being a Google-related issue, it is curious that it does not appear during general web browsing, nor in other programs:

MRa

Maps

@corjan-meijerink

Perhaps your Developer Assistant does not see de "Exit button" top right and has put a new "Exit button" bottom left?

It does not seems related to google....

[Marinus van Deudekom]

@Òscar that ugly X as you call it was there also in the first 6 version, 515 but I'm not sure anymore if it was there in the version 5

[Òscar]

@Marinus-van-Deudekom It was going well on the 5th one.

[Marinus van Deudekom]

@Òscar honestly, I can't remember it anymore. Corjan is pushing his best and has moved to much work.
On the other hand, I was only one time mistaken and that time my route was terminated. Since then, I've got the message.
What I miss is when tapping that button thanks to Google and Apple you can't change between arrival time, next Viapoint and next shaping point. As I understand that feature is possible using your phone as a remote. Did not have the chance to use that yet

[Òscar]

@Marinus-van-Deudekom That function ( change between arrival time, next Viapoint and next shaping point) is accessible via a submenu. It’s not available directly from the main screen, but it works very well.
