Road book real-time in navigation, interactive in route planning

[devemux86]

Road book with the via points and additional information, real time or interactive.

Navigation:

• Updated in real time: quickly see the distance + time until the next stops.
  (available in navigation actions - press direction icon)

Route planning:

• Interactive: press the via points to see the distance + time from any stop.

This looks good - and I frequently have to squint/stare at the Waypoints list to work out what the distance/timings mean in relation to the overall journey. I have the same feelings about the yellow "speech bubble" when you tap a Via-Point pin along a round 😕

Perhaps it's just me, but I feel that the information is there, just not jumping out at me at a glance.

[devemux86]

Now with the new road book which has meaningful distance / time information for via points and destination,
I wonder if we need similar information about distance / time in the waypoint management screen or bubbles.

Or we could simplify the display of the waypoints to make them easier to understand?

@devemux86 I think having 2 lines of Distance+Timing (plus those arrows) make it a little unclear at a quick glance. If you're able to style certain portions of text within a line, then something like the Road Book screen above may help in the main Waypoints list.

eg: If I'm looking at the Waypoint list, I'd like the Via-Points to jump out at me with their distance+times 💥

[devemux86]

Waypoints list is more of a management screen to quickly reorder or remove waypoints.
Not so much to see their information, also because if we reorder them, then their distance / time is not valid.

That's why if their distance / time can be covered better by the new road book (a read-only display of via points)
then the waypoint list can be simplified to better serve its purpose.

Question. Is this information or already active and available?

[devemux86]

Road book in navigation and route planning will be available in the next Beta.

[devemux86]

Road book: real-time in navigation, interactive in route planning is available for testing in:

• Cruiser 4.0.0 (Beta) #482

Navigation: press direction icon.

[bios4]

available in navigation actions - press direction icon

Error report - 3.0.43.b2:

• load a route, start navigation
• click the direction icon > select "Roadbook" tile
• Cruiser immediately closes down (after a few attempts Android suggests to clear the app cache due to errors)

This happens only when my current location is a bit away from the starting point of the route.
When changing the starting point of the route to my current location, the procedure properly works...

Please check @devemux86

@bios4 thanks for the report, it will be fixed in the next update.

Road book in navigation will also display the arrival times (in your selected time format).

See the updated image in the 1st post.

In your revised screenshot at the top of the page, is the first Road-Book entry of 0:36 PM an emulator "bug" ?

[devemux86]

@MotoUKRider Thanks for the report, the image is from the emulator, I will check it.

[devemux86]

@MotoUKRider it will be fixed in the next update.

Interesting this is how Android returns the time 12:36 PM!

Road book real-time in navigation, interactive in route planning is available in Cruiser 4.0.0.

Cool, I really like it, seeing the list of waipoinys (without shapepoints) is what I needed
:)
