4.15 CARPLAY ALWAYS STARTS IN NORTH UP

Hello Guido,

I recently updated to version 4.15, and I’ve noticed that whenever I connect via wireless CarPlay, the ride recording always starts in North Up mode. I have to manually switch it to Heading Up from the CarPlay menu each time.

I tested this on a BMW Carpuride wireless CarPlay unit. I am not sure if this behavior has changed in the latest update or if it is an unexpected issue.

Hi @blackhawk1618,

I've tried to reproduce it, but I can't on my side. It's possible that this was fixed in the latest update v4.16, which was released yesterday (I changed something related to this). Could you let me know if you are still experiencing this issue with v4.16?

Best regards,
Guido

If you're enjoying Scenic and are happy with the support, please leave a nice rating in the App Store. It would mean a lot to me ❤️

Julie and I used 4.16 yesterday and didn’t experience this behaviour

Mine also defaulted to route up as per original settings.

Hello Guido,

I updated to version 4.16 and took a quick ride today and everything is working smoothly again, with Heading Up restored as the default in CarPlay.

The addition of the CarPlay button to cancel active navigation is a fantastic improvement, thank you for that! It would be even more convenient if there were an option to navigate directly to Saved Places or Favorites from CarPlay. This would make route navigation more seamless while on the go.

Hi Blackhawk,

not sure I understand correctly, when you state : „…It would be even more convenient if there were an option to navigate directly to Saved Places or Favorites from CarPlay. This would make route navigation more seamless while on the go...“

isn't the 🔎 button top left on the CarPlay screen giving you all this already?

Sorry I didn't realize it was under the Search button. I was ignorant 🙁

Hi Guido,

I tested this again on CarPlay, and I would like to clarify what I meant in my previous post.

I am looking for a way to start navigation to a Saved Location or Favorite place while recording a ride. Currently, if I start recording a ride and later decide to navigate to a saved destination, there’s no direct option to do so. Instead, I have to stop recording first, go to the search function, select my saved location, and then start navigation which is quite inconvenient.

This feature was available in Scenic 3.5, so I am wondering if it could bring it back. Thank you again!

Yes. It’s on the list to add this back

Hi Guido,

I appreciate if you can bring this feature back to Scenic v4 CarPlay.

Best Regards

Hi Gudio,

When will this feature be added to CarPlay v4? We have been waiting for months without any updates.

This is a critical CarPlay feature to search and select saved destinations on the go, without having to stop in the middle of a road and switch it manually on the iPhone and it is  highly inconvenient. Appreciate if you consider this feature on a high priority for the next update.

I’m currently on a (much needed) family holiday. Returning August 9th. Will continue with the list after that. Aiming to work on this feature in Aug/Sep.
