Non-centred navigation
-
I am a gold MRA planner so no problem with the HERE map. Except that I very often navigate offline, hence the error message.. why not have the HERE map offline to solve the problem.
When I talk about centering, I am not talking about horizontal centering but of course vertical centering.@Calibos That's what I mean as well, yes. Why would you want the cursor in the middle of the screen instead of as low as possible? The higher up (or towards the center), the less upcoming route you see above the cursor. What's done is done, and I don't need to see it anymore.
-
We don't understand each other, I too want it to be as low as possible but in the middle in the right-left direction

@Calibos Ah, I see. That is a deliberate design choice because otherwise, the route could be (partially) overlapped by information in the turn-by-turn directions.

Ok it's a choice of the developer so we will get used to it even if almost all navigation systems place the navigation cursor at the bottom center. Maybe on a phone with a screen smaller than that of a tablet understand more easily.

@Calibos quite a lot of apps actually do this
Take Google Maps for example! -
Yes you are right, habits are stubborn!!
And for the map here offline, you think it possible or not.

I have never seen one that does...
But I understand your point, you have a screen that has an unusual aspect for a phone, and therefore a lot of space at the sides of your screen that is kept unused. I suspect it will make more logical sense to use your screen in portrait mode. -

@Calibos, The navigational map is HERE, best to make the routes on the planner in Here too of course. Your point of it being somewhat colorless I agree on. That VERY visible in your screenshot
There is an option for showing buildings in the settings, and you can chose a satellite view overlay. I suspect at some time there will be more layers to choose from. I would like a bit more topographical map too. -
Yes you're right, the map lacks colors but hey for now it's only cosmetic.
What bothers me the most is offline navigation with OSM maps.
I'll test if the route what I realized with here is well respected. It is my only fear because for all the rest the work done is spectacular and I congratulate the developers. -

Offline navigational maps are the same HERE maps as you gt on-line.

Regarding the OSM warning when opening downloaded routes - that should only happen if the route was made in OSM. Do you mean you also get the warning with routes made in HERE?
As this is a new feature, you might need to download the route again as the property indicating what map is used has only been added in the last update! If your downloads are older than the last update, it doesn’t exists and defaults to OSM (which would result in the warning)

@Corjan-Meijerink, ah, that explains some unexpected things after my own update
Indeed I had a few routes in HERE that were downloaded before the update. This means you simultaneously worked on the planner to get that parameter in? -
I will try tomorrow but it seems to me that I have the warning on all my routes. I will test tomorrow

Other navigation systems don’t offer the choice of screen information that is available to us

Good morning,
I tested this evening by redownloading my itinerary and everything is fine in offline mode, I no longer have the waypoint message between here and osm. Problem solved. -
