Automatic switch Distance to next Via Point / Final Destination

[Rajp]

Hello, I know there is an option to switch the duration and distance summary between the next via point or the final destination, but you need to enter the options to switch between one or the other.

Any chance we can add an “automatic” option in this setup?

The “Automatic” option would then switch to displaying the duration and distance to the next via point and final destination on a timed basis, say every 3 to 4 seconds. That way you could see the summaries without having to manually select and switch. Of course, if there are no via points then just show the final destination summary

@Rajp I understand why you are requesting this because this is my most used function with my SilverFox Bluetooth controller.

[Jörgen]

@Nick-Carthew can you switch with the SilverFox between the displayed times?

[Nick Carthew]

@Jörgen Yes, as I said, it is my most used function.

@Nick-Carthew nice to switch this by remote controller Silverfox!
I would like to do this also by my remote controller. But I need still to wait until the connection type for Remote 2 controller from DMD (Thork Racing) has been developed for MyRoute-App

This is no default method is it? Did you remap buttons?

@Con-Hennekens No re- map, it’s default.

I made this same suggestion many months ago, as Scenic does this and it’s brilliant. It allows you to gauge the remainder of the day without having to mess about pressing buttons etc.

It’s especially handy if leading a group, as someone inevitably asks over the intercom what time lunch is or if we’re on time for the end of day arrival.

Oh - how could be done a remap of remote controller buttons? I thought, only in settings, the correct remote controller must be selected.

[Jörgen]

@Guzzist the controller (like the BarButtons) is sending letters (as you can type on a keyboard). For Android there is an App (sorry, forgot the name) where you can remap what the controller sends.
This is helpful for controller that do not send the Keys you need for MRA.
I do not know what key is needed to switch the display.

@Nick, can you open an editor and push the button for the display change and let us know what letter is sent?

This is all listed in the manuals

Go to https://www.myrouteapp.com/support > "MyRoute-app" > "Bluetooth controllers".

For SilverFox, it's an "A"

[Con Hennekens]

As much as I understand some people's wish for this automatic switch, I just want to highlight also that it might draw eyes to the screen until your desired information comes along. It could be considered dangerous.

@Corjan-Meijerink, I get it... there is no A in BarButtons
(they could if they gave up repetitive zooming by long press).
