Hello, I don’t know if it’s here I can post for new buttons.app development ? Let me know if not. Would it be possible, with a Silverfox H1 controller on the DMD2 map view, to switch between maps type (standard vs satellite) with the zoom out long press ? I think today, on the H1, the zoom out long press does “recenter on your current location”, which is already done by the zoom in long press (if you have done a pan on the map, otherwise if the map is centered on your location, the zoom in long press will lock the interface). It would be great !

Working on making each button configurable, please wait for the next update where there will be total user configuration in DMD2 plus a custom quick access menu.

Comprei o tablet 865x há pouco tempo e estou a achar fantástico.

Até ao momento identifiquei uma oportunidade de melhoria.

Ter um icon aceder à Legenda das cores das estradas/trilhos.

Poderia ser uma visualização tipo PopUp, apenas para recordar os users da classificação das estradas/trilhos.

Bom trabalho.

Hello Joao. Love the app! Just one request: can the map screen go into a dark mode at dusk? I found the screening to be glaring when I was riding the other night. Currently dark mode only makes the background dark, yet the map remains bright.

Thanks

Paul.

This is found in the map settings on the map screen. You can choose map light, map dark or map follow theme.

Hopefully I’m posting in the new feature thread.

Is it possible for a future update to allow the option to choose the speed units independently? I measure distance in metric but still judge speed in miles per hour. Maybe it’s a UK specific quirk or maybe my age but it would be handy to have altitude and distance in metric and speed as mph

Hi,
Some questions / suggestions for development:

1. Is it possible to have the shaded relief still active for higher zoom levels? Now if I go closer than 200m the relied flattens (shaded relief disables) . It’s more intuitive to evaluate the relief shape I’m about to travel than trying to interpret the contour lines which are harder to “read” especially while riding. Something similar to what other navigation devices offers (ie: Garmin).
Would it be nice to have also an option to adjust the “exaggeration” level of 3D effect for a more “3D” effect.

2. Option to save / download satellite images for an selected area or along a track  / route? ( Usually in the offroad there is also lack of proper signal to keep the satellite images updating ..

3. Same for shaded relief / DEM. Option to download the shaded relief for a selected area / along a track or route or even better, for the selected country. I know the usually DEM files are considerable less in size comparing with map file of a country therefore it might worth having this option available.

4. An option to offer users to enable an auto-start for track recording? I’m sure it happened to others to forget starting track recording. A less action that I have to remember to do before start riding, especially useful when I’m exploring and discovering new paths in off-road.
Thinking like a prompt with a time out message informing user if he wants to start track recording when he start moving and track recording is not activated.

5. In navigation mode, to have a quick option to find an alternative route (deviation route) for the next: 1km / 5km / 10km / 50km .. then getting back in the original track or route. This is very useful when along the route you find a closed rod / a heavy traffic jam or anything else that will force you to search for an alternative road to continue. Selecting one of the deviation length options then DMD would search / recalculate (based on the same navigation profile as original route) and show on  the map an alternative path for the approx. given distance that rider could follow. I have this option on my Garmin and I find it useful and miss it here. It’s much more convenient than stopping and scrolling the map to see what other rods are linked and can be followed to temporary deviate from the track.

I have asked for your #2 before.  Another gps app does this very well by selecting the width from track line and it creates a downloadable offline map layer for just that along the track.  Dev has said he is working on more map formats lets hope that is in there.

Hi,

+1 for #4. I also really want to have an automatic track recording. To make it perfect there should be some options to automatically start a new track:

• Not moving for a certain period
• Time passed 0:00 am

My workaround is at the moment to save my recording and immediately start a new recording

On a T665, is the a way to:

– change/assign functions remote 2 buttons

– remove widget section on home screen. For example there are 3 sections to add widgets within, can i hide/remove the lower section.
