Vehicle cursor not visible

[Corrado Miniati 0]

When navigating in landscape mode, the vehicle cursor is often not visible and does not remain in the center of the screen to allow you to understand the road you are traveling on, is this normal?

Thanks a lot

@Corrado-Miniati-0 Touch the compass to centralise the screen.

Did you already have a manual for Navigation Next?

Hi,
happens sometime also on my tablet, open and close the menu, then the cursor is back (works for me).

@Nick: I had done that but it didn't center the vehicle slider.
Driving in a busy intersection you can't take your hands off the handlebars to touch the screen, it would be nice to solve the problem.

@Hans: no, thanks a lot for the link.

@Jorgen: Thanks for the tip.
It is also true that if it happens to you while you are busy driving you cannot do it.
So can you confirm that it's a bug?

A Bluetooth controller will solve that issue (at a cost). They mimic keypresses which the MRA app recognises - including re-centreing the map.

Several are available from make-it-yourself, though to affordable up to top end ones.

Hi Richt and thanks for feedback.
However, I think it would be more useful if the app centered the vehicle symbol on the screen without adding any additional devices, it could certainly do that.

@Corrado-Miniati-0, Your flyer can get out of center if you accidentally touch or swipe the screen a little. Sometimes that happens unintentionally. Since a few versions ago, the app automatically recenters when driving and no screen interaction is done for 5 seconds or such. So what you think it should do, it already does

I might seem far fetched, but I have some experience with problematic touch LFD's: clean your screen thoroughly, with some moisturized screen cleaner fluid. And check if there is anything between your screen and the screenprotector, if there is any. If your device has a glove-setting, try to toggle it to see if it helps.

It looks like the screen thinks it gets touched. Extra buttons will not solve that, unless you use a touch-blocker.

@Con-Hennekens Thanks for the advice, I'll try to see if it still happens by cleaning the screen.
I must say, however, that with other navigation apps on the same device this situation does not happen.
