Hi everyone! 👋

A new update is coming your way! 🎉
This one includes many much desired changes and improvements.
It's not the biggest update of all but definitely one that will make you happy 🙂

Track navigation improvements

A lot could go wrong when navigating a track. Either from your own library or a generated scenic route / roundtrip. No real images to add for this but rest assured that the stability of track navigation has been improved a lot! 😃 No more unexpected detours, no more recalculations straight to the finish and no more frustration. Initial results are very positive but more of my time will be dedicated in finetuning the track navigation.

CarPlay changes

Zoom buttons are available on screen!

While navigating, they are hidden under a submenu to preserve space for future buttons 🙂 When entering the zoom interface, the topdown mode is enabled and you can change the zoom level. After closing that menu, the last used camera modus before entering the zoom interface is used again 🎉

Android Auto

Same as for CarPlay! 🎉

Besides that however another nice feature is added! You can now pan the map 😏

When you have a touchscreen, simply drag the screen.

If you do not have a touchscreen, a button will appear to enable the pan interface.

Note: dragging the map is not supported on CarPlay

Other changes

  • Fullscreen mode is now a preference (Navigation settings > screen layout)
  • Improved zoom limits in CarPlay / Android Auto (sometimes you were zoomed in way too much)
  • Updated HERE and Flutter SDK
  • Minor other tweaks

What's next?

We will process all user feedback and keep improving the app. Besides that, we are working on a major overhaul of the start page of the app and the general UI / UX. We expect a first beta in this month but public release is unsure due to licensing negotiations.

Cheers,
Corjan
