Integration with Apple Maps
Quote from fxstein on 24.10.2021, 20:54Here is a thought that has crossed my mind on multiple occasions:
Have a simple integration with eg Apple Maps. Now that more and more bikes come out with CarPlay, a very simple integration with Apple Maps would be amazing. Not to replace scenic or the fact that it will support CarPlay.
For example let me push the next Stop over to Apple Maps. Especially when it comes to traffic and road information, this would cover a lot of cases. Apple Maps would simply show the route to the next stop with potential traffic and road conditions.
Apple Maps is also pretty simple to use in CarPlay for e.g. finding closest Gas Stations while being on route. Right now I am doing this in realtime by hand for gas station lookups. That way I don't have to mess with the Scenic route, yet be able to navigate off route to look for certain stops.
