    Goed punt. Ook de reden dat ik momenteel twijfel tussen een “normaal” en groter model iPhone. Zelf instellen zou top zijn.

      Yes yes yes!

      Here's one I made earlier as an example:

      alt text

      Make the distance number the same size as the road number and the time.

      The thing that matters is the number. The units (m / yd) can stay small since they can be inferred - thus saving a little space.

      And the associated thread:

        I was testing the Navigation app last month in the alps (with here and there rougher asphalt roads).
        I the had difficulties in reading the EXIT NUMBER in the traffic circle symbol).
        I find the font size much too small.

          I suspect typical MRA users are slightly more - er - 'mature' than the average bikers, and thus don't have such sharp eyes.

          I look forward to a feature like the Zoom++ where I can pump up the font sizes all round. 😁

            @richtea999, don't hold your breath... Self setting of fontsize causes all kinds of layout problems. From text not fitting in designated space to overlapping buttons and tiles. There are already uncountable screensize, resolution and aspect combinations as it is. In the end we all want a decent view on the map too 😉

            I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

            Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebar to the saddle.

              I agree totally with the point about the font size in the next turn box. It is way too small, especially for those spectacle wearers among us. It should take no more than 1/3 second to see exactly how far I have to go to my next turn but the font is way too small.

              Glance down, peer, squint - look at the road for heaven's sake!!! Try again...but of course the distance has changed so even though I got an idea of the numbers the last time, now I am starting again. And I should be watching where I am riding. And then suddenly I'm on it and going too fast.

              The road description and number at the top is almost irrelevant to me, the most important thing is which way do I turn and in what distance. That, for me (and everyone I ride with) is the single most important piece of information on the screen and it should be the largest piece of information and the most easily seen and understood.

                We are 2 years later now. This is still not changed! And nobody talks about? Can't believe everybody does have so good eyes...
                For me this will be a reason to stop with the mra navigation, it's useless like this.

                  Agreed, it's a shame.

                  As a rider, the most important thing is the view ahead, but a quick glance at the navigation is needed every 30 seconds or so. That quick glance is inevitably to the top left corner for the next instruction, and the distance to it.

                  The icon is large enough, but the distance isn't.
                  And the 'yd / 'm' - not really useful at all but that's fine, we'll let that pass.

                  The next road number (currently in big font) is useful, but not nearly as useful as the distance to it - currently a small font!

                  Grrr...

                    100% agree with FONT size increase - 2yr is a long wait...shameful as @richtea999 says.

                      'A shame' and 'shameful' - not quite the same! 'Disappointed' is maybe a better description that I should have used.

                      I realise the dev team are very busy but I think it's a small fix that would go a long way to enhancing usability.

                            @Brian-McG what, if someone doesn't have headsets, to be able to use audio (on bike)?

                              I just worry about the font size being increased to other bugs or problems resulting from it. Luckily I have good eye sight but a small increase in distance size shouldn't cause any layout issues.
