MyRoute-app & BarButtons - control our app using a bluetooth keyboard
-
BarButtons also experimented with a minimal version!
It's all work in progress and a ongoing process!
We are excited to share the current progress and look forward to the community input.@Corjan-Meijerink That seems a very good concept

Button one in keymap 3 seems to send a "=" not a "+"
I'll notify Joost. -
Hi everybody!
We are currently working very hard on the Navigation Next Beta.
For those seeking more information, check out: https://mranavigationnext.app/With nearly 1500 Beta testers we are receiving a huge amount of positive feedback and we are continuously improving the app. In the Beta update of this week we included:
- Offline maps
- Dark mode in Navigation
- Waypoint list
- Support for bluetooth keyboard input
Do you want access to the Beta? Simply purchase Navigation Next in the shop and you'll be granted access too!
The reason for this post is to elaborate a bit more on the app's connectivity features. This Beta is the first iteration of allowing bluetooth 'keyboards' to communicate with our app!
One of the main frustrations for motorcyclists is that controlling an app while driving can be difficult, if not dangerous. Winter gloves, rain or small buttons are the main causes for such frustrations.
Two weeks ago, we met with the inventor of BarButtons (https://jaxeadv.com/barbuttons/) to see if a simple integration with MyRoute-app would be possible. It turns out - this was the case
In the first iteration - available now in the NavNext Beta
- you can already control the app using this device! Check out a live demo by me here: https://youtu.be/YH_JCfabwI0
We are very curious about your opinion about such a device! MRA might be able to create a custom branded premium version. The image below does not in any way reflect a definitive product - just a small mockup with custom branding and a joystick rather than a D-pad
Please complete this survey so we can get more useful information from our community! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SMRXGTM
Is this exclusive to MyRoute-app? Not at all! The BarButtons can already be used by quite some other apps. For a full list, see this page: https://jaxeadv.com/barbuttons/compatible-applications/
The same page can be used to view the keymappings MyRoute-app uses.
It's as follows:Map (home) screen:
- +/- zoom in / out
- arrow keys panning
- n open drawer
- c cycle center state
- d (long press n) start opened route if available
Routing screen:
- +/- zoom in / out
- arrow keys panning
- n toggle “from current location”
- c start navigation
- d (long press n) cancel routing
Turn by turn screen (navigation):
- +/- zoom in / out
- arrow keys panning
- n open drawer
- c cycle center state
- d (long press n) skip waypoint
Drawer (menu):
- arrow keys move focus
- c selected focussed element
- n close drawer
A large part of the app is fully compatible / traversable using just these controls! However, some menu's still require actual screen interaction. In a future iteration, we will make sure those issues are resolved
If you, as individual or company, want to get in touch about bluetooth compatibility with MyRoute-app - reach on corjan@myrouteapp.com. Any bluetooth connected device (iOS & Android) emitting the supported keyboard event will work!

To reply again on myself
Joost informed me that BarButtons needs the preview of V3 firmware to work with MRA. After upgrading the firmware I can completely work along with @Corjan-Meijerink's great demo.I found 2 problems though:
- Through the buttons I can open the drawer and navigate to the routes menu. from there buttons don't work, so you cannot select a route.
- The new menu's that are introduced in this last beta update, can also not be navigated by buttons.
I deleted my previous post with the keymaps, because they will only bring confusion.

I'll notify Joost.@Con-Hennekens I believe our BarButtons run the preview version! https://jaxeadv.com/barbuttons/barbuttons-user-guide-preview/

@Corjan-Meijerink, yes, that must be so. But exactly the points I made, you left them out of the review
It doesn't work on my side, I assume it will not work on yours. -

@Corjan-Meijerink, take a look at the SPEAK button. It repeats the last voice instruction
I knew i did not think that up myself, when suggesting a similar feature

When I saw the video yesterday: https://youtu.be/YH_JCfabwI0
The first thing I said: Oh my god!
This is what I have always longed to have to control MRA and not have to touch the screen.
I was actually going to purchase it but, after reading this thread, I have my doubts. The minimalist version looks wonderful.
Must-haves for me:
-Skip next Waypoint
-Zoom.@Corjan-Meijerink, please what do you advise, wait for your version or buy it now?
Thank you very much for your excellent work.
-
Same for me, I would like to get it asap, but not sure to buy now or to wait? What is the recommendation?

@Maicro Happy to hear your enthusiasm!
This is exactly why we are looking into these integrations.To answer your questions (and @Jörgen), given the price I’d buy it now if you are enthusiastic. The product might be redesigned or get a custom branding but feature wise it won’t change a lot!
@Maicro skipping waypoint is possible already! See demo video. It’s a long press on a button. Zooming works too! However when navigating the camera stops following you when you changed the zoom. This is however a feature that will be added in the app!

The product might be redesigned...
I have seen the pics with the smaller versions, which i would prefer. Did you get any Informations about an Release date? I definitely want to use this keyboard this season.

@Ronni we don’t have any information about this. It’s all about prototyping and brainstorming now
However, if there would be a MRA branded version, I’d guess that will be available around the release of the the app.@Corjan-Meijerink ok. thx.
