Progress update

[Corjan Meijerink]

Hi all!

It has been two weeks since the last Beta update and we won't have one this week It isn't a rule that we must update the Beta at a certain frequency but we do however want to keep you engaged!

Therefore I would just quickly like to share some progress with you!

In the upcoming update you can expect:

Offline maps
The ability to download a country or region for offline usage. Meaning that data consumption on the road will be drastically reduced. This feature mainly becomes useful when we can also calculate the route without using internet. This however won't be possible yet. Due to the complexity of building CarPlay, we will enable offline routing together with the CarPlay Beta release.

Dark mode
You can manually choose between dark / light mode. At the current stage this isn't determined automatically based on the lighting in your current environment - obviously this is the ambition!

Waypoint list & information
Quickly see an overview of all your waypoints!

Tap on a waypoint to show it on the map!
Tap on the information icon or on the icon on the map to show your waypoint note!

Bluetooth keyboard connectivity
A first iteration of controlling the app using a bluetooth keyboard!

More information about this will be posted next week!

CarPlay?
Not just yet! We guess we need around 2 weeks for the development of the first Beta but Joost is getting an incredible amount of work done!

Known crucial issues

• Battery usage iOS & Android
• Android crashes

The two issues mentioned above have our priority besides the development of new features.

We'll keep working, you'll keep providing us with more test results & feedback! Deal?

Best from us at MRA

All this new functionality is fantastic.
Offline maps is something I think we have all been waiting for. Whoop Whoop.

Also looking forward to testing more Route-Tracks.

My first test-case (!?) has been printed, and hardware is underway from mr. Bijl

@Con-Hennekens Fun, enjoy!

We will elaborate in full on our plan and supported keyboard mappings next week!

@Con-Hennekens offtopic: PLA or ABS? PLA seems to be not rigid enough ...

@StefanHummelink, I'll send you a private message.

That's great. Looking forward testing that feature
