MyRoute-app Studio 0.2.4 and MyRoute-app Connector 0.1.7 are out

[Corjan Meijerink]

Both apps offer the update themselves the next time you open them, or go to Settings → Check for updates. To install one for the first time, go to Settings → Desktop apps on the website.

MyRoute-app Studio 0.2.4

• A 3D rider on your route. Instead of the dot, a 3D motorcycle, car, bicycle, camper or walker can now travel along your route, in the preview and in the exported video. It rides on the terrain, turns smoothly with the road, even through hairpins, and takes the rider colour you pick. Choose it under Rider in the Overlays tab.
• Style the route line. The Overlays tab now sets how the route is drawn: one of the Routeplanner's five route colours, an edge around the line (Colour, Light, Dark or None), the thickness (Thin, Normal or Bold), and Fade the line, which fades the part still ahead of you or the part already behind you. New projects start with the style you picked last. Older projects that used yellow now use blue.
• The route stays when you switch maps. The route line and the dot now stay on the map when you switch to another map style, also while the video is playing.
• Your language is remembered. Studio now opens in the language you picked last time.

MyRoute-app Connector 0.1.7

• More navigators found on Windows. Some navigators appear in Windows under "This PC" as a portable device, without a drive letter. The Connector now finds them and sends your routes to them, for example a Garmin zūmo. Garmin zūmo, nüvi and DriveSmart models are now recognised by name.
• Easier help when a navigator doesn't show up. If a connected navigator still isn't listed, the support log now says why. That helps us help you faster.
