New Beta! (v3.2.10) CarPlay, roundtrips and much more

@Corjan-Meijerink Wonderful work from the whole team!!

@Herko-ter-Horst

Thanks for the info.
However I have no intention of using CP or AA, I am happy to just use the phone on the handlebars.

I generate my own Route-Tracks and just love the simplicity provided by running Route-Tracks.
Once the Route-Track is loaded I never need to touch the screen at all.

If I am out on my own on the bike, I never plan stops I just stop for Scenery, to stretch the legs or for food/drink.

IDK... Might be worth considering getting that phone off the handlebars. Get's the phone out of the elements, wear and tear on the battery (heat etc.) and eliminates potential damage from vibration/shock. Seen some reports about phone cameras being trashed (particularly iPhones) with this type of use.

There are various post on this forum where folks are trying out the wireless AA/CP display device. Those things are cheap in comparison to new smartphones and are probably better suited to taking the punishment/abuse (time will tell). Plus, AA/CP provides a nice user interface. Might be worth consideration.

I was just trying to point out that all functionality is running on the phone, regardless of whether CarPlay/AA is used or not. So when offline maps are available, they are available with or without CP/AA.

I appreciate your concern but if you take a look at the my Navigation Phone below you will see that this is an old beaten up phone that I only use on the handlebars.
It sits permanently in an Ultimate AddOns Case and runs MRA Navigation Next brilliantly.

@Steve-Lynch impressive

@Herko-ter-Horst

Thanks for the info.
I was aware of that as I had posed the question to Corjan myself also.

@Steve-Lynch Your phone has served you well by the looks of that picture. Like you Steve, I have an older second phone that I use for Navigation. Works for me.

[Steve Lynch]

@Dave-J-0

I suspect that this phone will last longer than me.

Yeah... No... I don't think any of the concerns I mentioned would be applicable in your case.

Off the top of my head... The only downside with your approach might be the OS version support. I would guess this phone no longer gets updates. IDK may become a factor over time. Maybe old battery issues too.

But then again... When this phone finally bites the dust... There's probably another old phone waiting to be repurposed that can replace it.

@Tim-Thompson

The Phone is an S10 and its been nagging me to update for a while actually, I better do it now.
No battery issues yet.

@Corjan-Meijerink Hallo Corjan, mooie update ben al een paar keer met de motor op stap geweest, en de rondrit generator werkt top, binnen kort ga ik naar Schotland, heb je al een idee wanneer de offline kaarten beschikbaar komen denk niet dat ik boven in Schotland overal bereik heb. Ik zag in Carplay filmpje dat je de route met pijltjes de route op kan schuiven 10x bekeken, ik heb overal rond gekeken en kon de knop om dit te activeren niet vinden om de route op mij tablet 3 - 4 cm om te zetten maar verder een mooie stap

[Corjan Meijerink]

@G-Grote-Ganseij mooi om te horen! Kaarten kunnen al offline worden gedownload maar de offline route berekening werkt nog niet. Ik verwacht dat dit er over 2 weken wel is.

[Con Hennekens]

@G-Grote-Ganseij, Naast wat @Corjan-Meijerink zegt, betekent dat dus dat je wèl gebruik kunt maken van de offline kaarten als je die download. Belangrijk is alleen dat je tijdens starten van de route wèl internet beschikbaar hebt vanwege de berekening. Dus wifi of SIM data bij je hotel en eventueel lunchplek. Als onderweg internet uitvalt zul je daar geen last van hebben.

[G.Grote Ganseij]

@Con-Hennekens en @Corjan-Meijerink bedankt voor de informatie betreft offline rijden van het weekend ga ik thuis de route laden en berekenen en roaming zet ik uit en kijken wat er gebeurt.laat mij bevinding wel ff weten

morning @Steve-Lynch

you could advertise this on eBay, and describe the phone as "does show signs of use"

[Lynchy67]

@paul-69

It could be up for sale if you are interested.
