New beta! 4.4.1 (406)

[Corjan Meijerink]

Hi everyone!

Long time no see. Almost 2 months since the last beta!
Besides that it might not be the best idea to release updates during peak season.

Have we been working all the time? Hell no. I've been enjoying some time in the Alps too!

Enough said about that, you could not care less about my driving. You want to know what we were coding

Engine updates
We've updated the internal software of Flutter and the HERE SDK to keep up to date with the latest standards. Quite boring but definitely not unimportant.
Sometimes this causes issues for (mainly older) devices but it can also result in improvements regarding stability and battery usage. Especially the users reporting stuttering menu's in the 4.4.0 version could be very happy with this update. For you all it's just important to report any unexpected issues with the app in general.

Language updates
Thanks to @Chudy and @Krzysztofa our app now supports the Polish language! This is only the app, not the website. So if your app is in Polish, the website will probably be English (or whatever you selected).

Android language select
Since day one you could already select a different app language in iOS when accessing the iOS app settings. Now that's possible for Android too! Especially useful now we have Polish translations.

Note: only Android 13 and higher

iOS GPX import issue
Since an update from iOS the GPX import function of the app was broken
That's fixed again! You can now open any GPX file sent to you with our app again.

Recalculation improvements
Tweaking the recalculation behavior of the app is quite complex due to the vast variety of situations. Over the holiday we received quite some reports that the app would excessively skip waypoints. In this version we deployed a new version of the waypoint skip algorithm. Very curious what your opinion about the behavior is! Besides that we resolved an issue where sometimes recalculations in track navigation could get stuck.

What's next?
We are working on a major overhaul of the UI / UX of the app. Everything will be different and beta testing for this update will last a minimum of 1 month. We hope to start beta testing early September and aim for release in October!

Cheers,
Corjan

There is a button within the MyRoute-app settings to open the app language settings on iOS. I have now also added this in our app for Android however that's not in build 406

For now just follow these steps: https://support.google.com/android/answer/12395118?hl=en

In the next build 407 there will be a button within our app
