New beta! 4.3.3 (355)

[Corjan Meijerink]

Hi all!

Quick new beta version with some nice little tweaks / stability improvements

Temperature improvements
The excessive temperature while navigating has been fixed! This is for Android and iOS. The resulting battery drain has also been slightly lowered. Not as much as hoped yet, so still working on that. The lower temperature however will already help quite a lot!

CP / AA improvements

• Use offline synced routes when not having any internet
• Resolved topdown camera issue as mentioned in this and this post.
• Better scaling icons / lines
• When zooming with the buttons while being in topdown mode, the selected zoomlevel will be remembered when pressing "done"

Zoom / camera behavior
Not just for CP / AA but also for the app in general. The zoom stability and animations have been tweaked

Map styles
The map styles are finetuned to be of some more contrast where possible and better visibility in dark.

Night colours
The route line has a different shade of blue in night mode to ensure visiblility!

Map loading stability
Sometimes when loading the navigation, the map would not show. This has been fixed. Also when driving in / out of tunnels the dark mode would not reset correctly. This is also fixed.

Bluetooth controllers issue
Some bluetooth controllers stopped functioning regarding zooming etc. This has been fixed. If you do experience issues, please do report them to our support department.

General stability
We've got great feedback since the latest release. Already implemented some more stability fixes

Due to some hotfixes and nice small improvements, we are aiming for a quick public release early next week!

Cheers,
Corjan

It's unbelievable how quickly you react to problems and solve them.
Well done, greetings to the team!

Great job! Looking forward to being able to navigate without cooking my phone although I'll have to wait until next summer to be able to test it.

@Corjan-Meijerink Quick feedback from today but I do not appear to be able to add stops ‘on the go’ in CarPlay. I can search or use favourites but the pop up asking if I want to add the stop does not appear. The point is not added to the route.

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Dave-J-0 hmm, just tested it and absolutely no issues here

@Corjan-Meijerink ok. I will do some more testing. Also noticed lag on the cursor position in Car Play. All good on the phone app but at times quite severe on the Car Play screen.

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Dave-J-0 That one is interesting!
Could you do 2 things for me?

• Test with updated offline maps (if update available)
• Otherwise turn off the 3D elevation difference (that is causing this weird positioning update)

[Dave J 0]

@Corjan-Meijerink Will do next time although I have already, prior to the journey today, updated the offline maps. During the different legs of the trip today, I did stop navigation and then resume and this did improve for a leg but then went back. I will also reinstall the app as well just as a further step before also turning off the 3D elevation.

As a further point, I did do a screen recording but this only shows the iPhone image which shows the cursor behind the tracking line with the route line (and passed grey route line) ahead of the cursor by some margin. The CarPlay screen cursor was erratic particularly with sharp deviations in course but this was not recorded.

Very strange behaviour today. When working properly for me, it was brilliant today and I must say great work with the changes with this beta. I will report back the next few days.

4.3.3 355 has been released for Android. I'll do some testing tomorrow.

Rode 200 miles today in the UK. !00 miles there and 100 miles back, so two planned trips. I have to say things seem much improved. Auto zooming is working well and colours seem better. Phone was out in the breeze so it was never going to get hot but it did charge fast on the go. Pleased!

Ben benieuwd om dit aan komende zomer uit te testen betreft de hitte! Mijn telefoon werd tijdens het motorrijden in Frankrijk afgelopen zomer vaak onleesbaar tijdens het navigeren hahaha
