Good evening everyone! 
An amazing update is coming your way and I am sure you'll all enjoy this very much! 
It has been some time since the last release but the wait has been worth it for sure as we have been cracking our heads to improve the core of our app. Obviously it's nice to create fun features but after all we are a navigation app so it also makes sense to improve the navigation itself 
A lot of fundamental aspects have been improved beyond imagination With this update, the app will become your default go-to navigation app! I am extremely proud of the work accomplished by the small company that MyRoute-app is 
Track navigation
Yes, it existed. With that, most was said.
Generate a scenic route or roundtour and away you go!
Diverting from the route or losing an internet connection would result in major issues 
Now not anymore! 
Track navigation works completely offline! When you go offline (either by choice or chance) the track navigation will continue working and recalculating! There might be minor differences compared to the online calculation but you are warned about that. Besides that, the original calculation will always remain visible
When you divert from your track, you will be redirected to the nearest logical point on the track. Yes, you might be sent back (depending on the location) but eventually (or immediately) you will be sent to another logical point on the track. Do you want to navigate to another section of the track? Just long press near the point where you want to rejoin! 
Do you prefer navigating routes as track? Leave the already existing setting as you have it and away you go! You can choose to use all waypoints or just the viapoints. When using only viapoints, the navigation works similar to the GPX 1.2 format on your Garmin.
This means that even while navigating a track, you can skip your waypoints (either only viapoints or any waypoint) How amazing is that! After skipping a waypoint, the fastest route is calculated to the next waypoint 
When loading a track, you can now also change the setting to start from the nearest point on the track! Therefore you won't ever have issues again when starting or resuming track navigation.
Long pressing near the point where you want to continue your track, also works before starting the navigation!
With this update, track navigation has been elevated to a level you could not have imagined. To be brutally honest, I have ridden a lot of routes as tracks and this might become my preferred method of navigating 
Dynamic routing
Whenever you're going from A to B, you often get into traffic and a faster route becomes available. When you've enabled traffic optimisation we will now continuously search for faster routes!
After accepting the new route (which will happen when you don’t decide within a certain time) you will still see the original route.
Traffic warnings
For all types of navigation, it is interesting to know if you are driving into traffic or pass an accident. Now that we are introducing the dynamic routing as explained above, it makes a lot of sense to also warn about traffic related events on your route.
We will inform you about:
- Traffic flow delays (significantly queued traffic)
- Traffic incidents (accidents, closed lanes etc)
- Road work (known construction)
You can choose the enabled categories yourself from the settings.
When enabled we will show an icon on the map, update the line to show the length of the delay and push a visual / audio warning.
If a faster alternative route is available, that will automatically be suggested too!
Destination reached
The amount of discussion on this topic on the forum has been incredible. Since the release of the app, people have different preferences regarding what the app should do when arriving at your destination.
Now the app will prompt to stop navigation after reaching it.
The default setting is that navigation will stop.
You can disable this behavior. In that case, when no choice is made, it will continue navigating as it currently does.
Updated settings
Check out all the updated settings and play around!
Most changes are within the functional settings
Automatic recalculations
Garmin people will love this too! You can now turn off the automatic recalculations. This will force you to drive back to your route by yourself We will show the original route (as we always do) and stop actively guiding you back.
Stop tracklog when stopping navigation
You can now make the tracklog pause when you stop navigating automatically. Saving is always up to you
Scaling improvement
Some people had very small icons / lines (especially on high resolution CarPlay / Android Auto devices) while using the app. We've improved the scaling behavior of these elements on different screen sizes. Besides that, in CP / AA the shown speed limit and current speed is increased in size for those big displays.
Visual settings CarPlay / Android Auto
When you disable some visual elements from the settings, these are now also applied in CP / AA. Relevant ones are:
- Speed limit
- Visual warnings
- Lane instructions
Position indicator size
You can now also increase / decrease the size of the position indicator
Minor improvements
- Better camera animations regarding tilt
- Back button behavior Android on home screen
- More waypoint information on skipping / resuming
- Position indicator not off screen when rotating phone anymore in some situations
- Improved shown original route data
- Slight changes to automatic waypoint skip algorithm
- Zoom level freedrive in CarPlay / Android Auto
- Minor improvements to nearest fuel station suggestions. For track navigation they are displayed but cannot be added to your route
- Stability improved regarding syncing data between phone and CarPlay / Android Auto
- Recent searches are displayed on when you search for a stop while navigating
- Lock screen button moved up in the menu and can be enabled by long pressing the menu button
What's next?
The end of the year is approaching so not sure how much more massive things we will do before that
In this (and the last) updates we really try to focus on the core of the app. Previous updates had a lot of stability improvements and this one improves the navigational core of the app. My guess is, we will focus on any issues before releasing this and improving the stability further
Cheers,

), but during the season, it just worked. Keep up the good work.
