Pausing issues
Ok I'll redo some testing on the tracks over the next few days after logging out and back in again and reloading maps.
I can see there are really two operation modes. 1. as you have set it up for normal riding, and 2. a mode for slow congested city riding where a settings option to disable the auto pause seems just fine. In the latter case there is an option to pause using the down arrow below the time so gas stations, lunch stops etc is well covered. So my vote would simply be a general setting to allow disabling of the auto pause. Its great to see a responsive development of an app like this. Brilliant.
Hi Guido
I used scenic a lot on a recent 14,500 km road trip across Oz and back. Due to COVID we avoided built up areas as far as possible. With the pausing issue, as long as I had the screen mounted on the bike I could see my next directions even if it paused when I was stuck in traffic or road works. I would be a big fan of getting that disable auto pause option back. Non of the other issues were a real problem and it was only once or twice that the tracking on the screen seemed to pause so really a non issue. The biggest issue in Australia was it trying to take me down dirt roads as short cuts. I needed to plan routes with a map and even then ignore some of the instructions. Overall I would rank Scenic as heads and shoulders above anything else I've come across and am a total convert. I love the way you are responsive to your users.
Hi Mike,
Sound good and thanks for testing this thoroughly! Really appreciate the time and effort you are putting into this. Scenic 3 is progressing well. Should be ready in summer (your winter). I'm adding back the switch to turn of the auto-pause. With the new maps in Scenic 3 the dirt-road problem should also be resolved. Overall the new map provider has much better map data, and an 'avoid unpaved' switch for regular routing 🙂.
