New Beta! (v3.2.8)
-
Hi all!
Thanks for the large amount of feedback after the previous Beta (3.2.7 - https://forum.myrouteapp.com/topic/3214/new-beta-v3-2-7). We are very happy to announce that yet another Beta has been published!
Yesterday, I've responded to all forum posts that were relevant for this update! The changes are the following:
- Fixed incorrect waypoint usage when navigating routes
- Prevent camera locking app in portrait mode
- Improve requesting permissions for camera / photo gallery
- Ensure correct map is instantly loaded on app boot
- Ensure voice prompts are fully completed
- Allow user to play a beep rather than full audio instructions
- Restyling and improvements to route progress
- iOS: Prevent battery drain when app in background
- Android: Back button behaviour improved in Navigation screen
- Android: File downloading works again
Summary
After update 3.2.7, unfortunately some aspects of route navigation where broken. This update was therefore mainly focused to resolve all the new issues that where discovered in route navigation. This is mainly related to "weird" behaviour. Such as skip waypoints not working, UI showing weird stuff (such as flags) and waypoints suddenly being included in the voice prompts even when turned off in the preferences. Besides that we also improved some other new bugs as identified by the community and we added a new feature to simply play a 'beep' rather than full voice text instructions. This is a very first version for this, so I would again like to hear your feedback.Crucial change
Route navigation should work again as expected!
Testing
Today I had a meeting with a motor magazine in the other side of The Netherlands. This was a perfect opportunity for me to test this newest Beta version. After arriving home, it was evident that this Beta version could be released to the public because the issues as previously listed where solved.
It was a lovely drive (https://www.myrouteapp.com/nl/social/track/452094) regardless of the cold. Had a blast with my Tiger

@Corjan-Meijerink Great work but I have noticed a strange symbol and posted a topic: https://forum.myrouteapp.com/topic/3288/waypoint-symbol-icon/1

Congratulations, great job!!!

@Corjan-Meijerink No better way to travel and test than sitting astride a large Tiger

Loaded and ready!
I want to compliment on the elaborate introduction of new versions, with the nice overview of changes and links back to the topics. Well done! It keeps the feedback flowing, knowing that something gets done with it.I am not affiliated with MyRoute-App. The help I am offering is entirely voluntary.
I am just an enthusiastic user, and hope you will be one too!Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebar to the saddle.

Where do I find the newest version of Next? I try to update my Navigation (beta), but it tells me it was last updated 8 Aug, 2022, v. 1.6.12.
-
@Con-Hennekens Thanks
-
@Marc-Mauss Please see the pinned posts here: https://forum.myrouteapp.com/category/19/beta-mra-navigation-next The Beta is within MyRoute-app Mobile and you need special access. The process for this is described in the link I just shared.

@Corjan-Meijerink Congrats with the new Beta, I hope you enjoyed your coffee and "gebak".
I tested already the picture function with succes, no crash on iOS. -
Thank you for new beta! Today I've made a very short test (5 km), beeps work ok but I had an impression that they are too often, on the crossroads approaching (about 20 meters) 3 times. Will be more tested soon.
-
@StanisÅaw Yes, we expected âtoo much beepsâ to be the feedback. This really is a v1 implementation of the âbeepsâ to see if people like it as expected. Tweaking the frequency will be something for another update!
-
Great job @Corjan-Meijerink
-
I made a little tour today, to test the beeps
Luckily today was a sunny day. Unfortunately, I could hardly see the position of the switches for the settings on the navigation system. Is it possible to use colors that differ better and/or have a greater contrast?Greetings

@Corjan-Meijerink excellent work and very nice to get such detailed updates.
Looking forward to testing it in a couple of weeks when I go skiing
-
@Ronni Happy to hear you could go out for a ride! The preferences will most likely be further updated later on which might include some restyling of those switches

The option is very good idea for me! I would expect something like two beeps for each turn - one some time before (related to velicity, something about 200-300 meters), second one directly before the turn. Thank you and good luck with next versions, especially oflline maps
-
@StanisÅaw Thanks!
-
@Corjan-Meijerink One remarque, the beeps should stop after pressing "Voice prompts" button (deactivating it), shouldn't they?
-
16.000km on mine from 07/2022 was one of the first delivered - all ok, yours?
-
@StanisÅaw Yes, I noticed that too! Already changed it for the next version
