Update 4.0.1
-
Hey all!
It's only a day after release but the first update is already on it's way!
We've performed some critical fixes and added some nifty new features.
The biggest change is related to Android Auto!Android Auto
Up until today, you couldn't use Android Auto unless you first opened the app on your phone. Very inconvenient.
As of now, you can leave the app close, connect Android Auto and away you goWe know that you can still only open your last route from Android Auto - but rest assured, we are working on more CarPlay / Android Auto features as we speak! First up: favourites.
A minor fixed issue in Android Auto is that miles were shown as yards
More settings
There are two more functional settings!Are you annoyed by us recommending using the HERE map when starting navigation for planned routes? Turn it off.
Do you always want the choice for route or track navigation? You can enable this too! Do you not understand what track navigation is? Read the manual first!
Stuck on account screen?
Fixed! As a result of this, you are all forced to log in again after downloading the update.Audio instructions
We further improved the quality & stability of the audio. Meaning that voice instructions should now be played as they should. Lowering the played music and resuming music on full volume should now also be consistent.Statement regarding updating offline maps
Some users experience issues with downloading the (mandatory) update. If you still have this issue, please try reinstalling the app completely. In this update, we've improved some internal logging that helps us in solving the issue. If you therefore are still stuck in the update, please let us know!Minor changes
- Swapped zoom in / out buttons
- Improved offline map download notifications
- Fixed opening routes set to "Friends" privacy when the app was no yet booted
- Improved translations
That's it for now! We hope you are happy with the update.
We'll focus development on any critical issues you discover and CP / AA features.Cheers,
Corjan -

@Corjan-Meijerink super!

Regarding the choice of running as a Route or a Track, is it still the case that a Track can only be available Online?
-
@Lynchy67 yes, that remains unchanged.

-
On Android how do we get 4.0.1 ?
Will it be a direct download of 4.0.1 or do we have to choose the “Join Beta” option in the Playstore? -
@Lynchy67 it will be publicly available!
-
Thank you
-
@Con-Hennekens when will v4.0.1 be available I'm still on 4.0.0 which doesn't work with Android auto properly?
-
@Brian-Martin we are still being reviewed by Google. Hope it’s done before next week

@Corjan-Meijerink hij Corjan
How do I update the app. Mine is Android 4.0.0.185
If I look in Google Play I can only open the app.
What am I doing wrong -
@Marinus-van-Deudekom Nothing, the update is slightly delayed for Android: https://forum.myrouteapp.com/topic/4613/android-delay-in-4-0-1-update/1
-
@Corjan-Meijerink I'm leaving for a 8 days trip tomorrow. Any chance it will be ready by then
-
@Marinus-van-Deudekom I do hope so! We’ve shared an updated version with them last night which will probably reviewed today when they wake up in the US
They are however a pain in our *** this week so I cannot guarantee anything
-
@Corjan-Meijerink you know I'm a beta tester is that the same procedure
-
@Marinus-van-Deudekom the Beta is also blocked by the review
-
Hello, will there be a function available in the future where I can enter the dimensions of my vehicle (truck) for the navigation?
-
@Jens-Eichenberg yes - not sure when exactly
-
@Corjan-Meijerink Great. Thank you very much! Because of the height and width of our vehicle, this would be extremely helpful!
