Hi! I use osmand mostly when I'm riding my racing bike. I'd appreciate these options:
1) ability to arrange buttons/indicators 2) voice announcements for/instead of indicators Rationale: 1) Some smartphone mounts attach the phone with rubber strings that have to be pulled over the phone or with a case that have protuberances (?) over the phone. This often hides the indicators (distance to finish, arrival time etc.) in the top right corner and the buttons in the bottom left and right corners (which unwillingly sets off the zoom). One has to stop the bike and fiddle with the mount which Is really annoying. Having the option to move the indicators/buttons to the center of the sides would help. 2) One big problem with navigation apps for (long distance) cycling is the huge screens that todays smartphones come with. They consume so much energy, that one has to reduce the brightness. This however comes at the expense of the visibility of smaller objects, such as the indicators (making them larger would perhaps make the map appear crowded). 3) Another problem is the brightness of the sun when it shines onto the display, especially in summer. Small items are poorly visible. 4) Sometimes, traffic situations become hectic and one cannot watch onto the screen. 5) Generally speaking, I prefer voice announcements over indicators. Hence the need for having the option for voice announcements for the indicators and the abilty to move the indicators/buttons mentioned above. What do you think? cheers Ps.: I know that this is a lot to ask for. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Osmand" group.
