The Beave on Nostr: Testing results: The next navigation marker is a bit small. The navigation cue tiles ...

Testing results:



The next navigation marker is a bit small. The navigation cue tiles are also not being utilised correctly, IMO. (More on that later)


I always utilize three button navigation. The speed indicator is not rendering correctly, IMO, for this configuration. I really do like the design of the indicator and most of the nav screen.

I would like more zoom out when speed goes over 100kph.


"Exit the ramp" is terrible English. This should read "take b exit XXX," as the exit number from the interstate is most definitely part of the OSM data for that road.



The navigation really missed the fact that I needed to take the cloverleaf to head onto the interstate.




The tract for the labels is much too small for having my phone mounted on a dash mount.


As you can see, when I select one of the report types, the keyboard covers the text box. I can scroll it up to confirm what is typed before sending the report, but this is obviously less than ideal while driving.



This is on my return trip. The police presence I reported on the first leg of my journey did not trigger a warning on the return. Many of these kinds of divided highways have connections where police sit or construction and maintenance crews turn around. It would be better to have an alert for these kinds of roads show up both ways. If at all possible. (Waze does this a bit differently.)

Overall, it's very good. I'm still getting the voice repeating "starting on XXX road." Honestly, I'd just eliminate that all together.

Other things:
- The voice guidance is not relinquishing audio control correctly. I had to manually restart my podcasts after every voice event.
- 3km is much too far for a notification preview. Also, the voice navigation shouldn't be giving the next instruction immediately after the next section of the trip is made. This is confusing and not helpful.
-Both legs of my trip ended prematurely just after making the last turn. This left me with no guidance 750m from my destination in my way out, and 500m on my way home. This needs to be fixed.
