New Beta! (v3.2.9)
-
Great update!
I was just about to write a 3.2.8 review when I saw the new update.
Basically, everything was smooth with 3.2.8, excepting the crashes.
For me, less 3 things, is perfect as it is.
The 3 things I would love to have are:
- Guiding in my own language (Romanian)
- Fixed routing (or no routing between shaping points - like track navigation) as an option
- ETA to the first VIA point (if I am not mistaken, for now you can toggle between ETA to first shaping point, or ETA to the end)
One short explanation why I would love track navigation for routes as well: when I make a route I spend a lot of time verifying it with navigation. Even if I place a lot of shaping points, navigation sometimes has a different opinion about routing, because the algorithm searches for the fastest route, while when designing it, I did it more curved.
But even without these 3 things, it still is the best motocycle app in the world!
Thank you!

@Vlad-Popovici-0 We hope the crash frequency is reduced in 3.2.9 but we are not sure about that. Looking forward to your feedback on this matter!
Considering your 3 feedback points:
- Has been noted and will be addressed before release.
- Will be considered! See my elaboration below.
- This should be possible already. By tapping the ETA widget you cycle between end / upcoming shaping / upcoming via.
You can use track navigation for routes by exporting it as GPX and importing that file as route-track. This route-track can then be navigated with the app as track navigation. Yes, this is very tedious and we will check the possibility to implement track navigation for routes too.
Cheers!

@Corjan-Meijerink I will check the ETA to via point, it seems I missed it.
I did that, exported to route-track, but I missed too much the route only features (like different points colour, or icons, or via points), so I stopped using it like that. Would be AWESOME if you consider implementing track navigation for routes too.
Best regards!

@Corjan-Meijerink Just checked, indeed one of the toggles shows the ETA to the via. AWESOME!
So only 2 things to perfection
Also I love the new menu.
One little thing: when I start the tracklog, in the normal app, a notification says "Recording". In Next, there is no notification. I know the orange trail is the best indication, but an instant notification that you toggled it would be welcomed.
-
if you want to close the menu you have to move the slider down. However, if you want to close the information box shown after clicking on a waypoint, you can also click somewhere on the map above the information box. I like this very much and wondering whether this can also be implemented for closing the menu.

With the latest version, I noticed, much less voice commands.
Much less than before, however, a little too less for my feeling. Ok, I know that everyone feels differently, and it is difficult to find the right way.Hardware

Still having a lot of random crashes. I can't pinpoint what causes them.
Offline Maps:
There is no indicator if you already have a map downloaded, or while it's downloading maps, there is no indicator of WHAT it's downloading or even IF it's downloading. I go to Offline Maps, select USA, and clicking on anything just shows a spinning circle...where is the progress? Where is the indicator whether you have downloaded anything or not?General app issue:
Occasionally when I click on the hamburger menu from main page, select my "account avatar" at the top right, it prompts me to log in again. If I close out, and reopen, it will show I am already logged in. -

But the overview of downloaded maps like Navigation has, is missing indeed.
I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

@Corjan-Meijerink I can't believe that?
I drove the same route with a former version and I get noticed by voise command about a roundabout 6-7km in advance and min. 4 times before.
And now only 2 times. Anyway much better.

For now, the "x" indicates it can be removed, which is only possible when it has been downloaded.
The spinning circle means it’s still starting the download or below 1% progress. It should start indicating it’s progress as in my original screenshots. If it seems stuck, try rebooting the app. If you are prompted with an available map update, do that first
The Android crashes is something we are working on!
Regarding the profile issue, I’ll check that.

Then nothing is downloading for me, as I don't have an X next to anything in my list of states in the USA.

@Matt-Flaming if you downloaded the entire USA, the state will probably be reflected in the top right corner (when viewing the USA). Feel free to share a screenshot!

After trying for a couple of days now, it looks like it MIGHT be downloading the USA. I have 2 devices trying to download now. I've been trying this since the release of this beta, and it never has done anything but spin the circle (3 different WiFi connections and 5G). I have NO indication of download speed, or how long it estimates to take. And without an ongoing notification in Android, it will just fail silently if I navigate away from the screen or try to use another app while it's downloading (I do have battery optimizations turned off).

@Matt-Flaming I’ll give it a go to! Let me know if it gets downloaded. It should resume in the background if the app isn’t killed.

@Matt-Flaming, you download the US as a whole, the X is ONLY at the top and you cannot delete individual states. At least, that's how it looks now. So if you want a few individual states, you will need to download those seperately.
Your comment on the absence of a download indicator, or progress status is of course very valid.

My problem was that I tried downloading the entire USA, and it didn't finish downloading in the background. So every time I opened the offline maps page, the X was there with a spinning circle and no way to determine what was going on.
The lack of detail on that page makes it pretty confusing.
I think I have the USA downloaded now. I'll find out as soon as I get a chance to actually use the app rather than playing around with it at home and commutes back and forth to work.

@Matt-Flaming agree, more details will be added.
Please note that offline routing doesn’t work yet.
