CarPlay unit Zoom +/- 😁 love MRA but this drives me nuts

[Graeme Moores]

So after some playing around I’ve figured out that plus and minus buttons on the phone screen during navigation control the amount of zoom in or out on the phone display and on the CarPlay unit. Once you’ve set it the CarPlay display stays that way. This excludes the auto zoom in settings (more on that later).

But let’s say that you want to change the degree of zoom from the CarPlay unit during a navigation. My phone is tucked away in a pocket. There is map adjustment button on the CarPlay display unit (bottom right hand corner), press that and the + & - buttons allow to zoom in or out. Great except once you press Done button it reverts back to whatever you set on the phone.

So please lovely people at MRA is it possible to adjust the degree of zoom from the CarPlay unit using the + / - control so the map zoom or scale stays as it does on the phone. Of course until you adjust the zoom again from either the phone or the CarPlay unit.

@Graeme-Moores Thanks for the suggestion!
We are indeed looking into ways to improve the zoom

This is really needed. I used MRA with CarPlay for the first time in 12 months, just to see what changes had been made since I was on the MRA Next beta. My biggest issue was no ability to change zoom from CarPlay (my phone remains tucked away).

I always use MRA for planning as it’s the best out there, but this zoom issue alone is enough to stop me using MRA over my current app.

I can only confirm this. I was in Sardinia for 5 days in mid-October and wanted to follow a recommended route. The Mayrout app cannot be used without the zoom function in Android Auto. I finally had to drive further using Google Maps. It's a shame because your app is the best for tour planning
