Using version 4
Quote from martisha on 03.10.2024, 07:18It looks the same for me. The road numbers are illegible, i.e. they are not highlighted in any way. In OSM they are in frames and bold font. Here they are as plain text without highlighting. For example, here the main A4 motorway is barely visible.
I hope this will change, because we travel on roads and it's nice when their numbers are visible.
Thank you for the work put into the new look of the app Guido.

Quote from Guido on 03.10.2024, 13:46Track names will be visible in v4.01 (next week):
Also in v4.01. Road numbers will be visible at closer zoom levels. At even closer zoom levels. the name will be added. In time I will add the badges, but this is workarble for now imo.

Quote from MF Argonaut on 03.10.2024, 14:10Hey Guido,
I've been seeing mountains in feet for some reason on my map and I am wondering if this is also related to what you mentioned in the FAQs?
I see Russian/Chinese/Arabic/Cyrillic names on the map. Can I change that?
Yes. For texts of bigger places, cities, etc. Scenic tries to find a translation based on your preferred language list in iOS Settings > General > Language & Region. It starts with the first language in that list; if that translation is not available, it tries the next language, etc. If none of the translations exist, then it will use the original untranslated text. So, to fix this, make sure your preferred language list does not contain any languages you don’t speak, and is in the order you prefer. iOS Settings > General > Language and Region.
My phone is set to English (US), but my brain works in Metric (and I live in Germany). If this is indeed the reason, it would be nice if the in-app setting for Units & Stats would apply to the map itself as well. EDIT: I just checked again, and the Measurement System inside my iOS settings is actually set to Metric as well.
Thanks for all the hard work, love the new update and am excited for the March 2025 update!
All the best from Bavaria,

Ich vermisse auf der Karte alle Tankstellen. Mc Donalds usw werden angezeigt, das wundert mich ein wenig. Sonst gefällt mir die neue App gut, auch mit den wissen das viele Punkte nachkommen werden. (wer lesen kann ist klar im Vorteil)
Aber wo ist das Problem? Die Saison ist rum, wenn im März alles geht bin ich glücklich, aber bitte mit 3D. Das wäre doof wenn das bis März nicht klappt.

Not trying to start a flame war here, I just think the focus should be on getting info to Guido however we can (a bonus that he can address things in multiple languages) so he can continue to improve things. I doubt you will find a developer more responsive and flexible than he is so complaining about the language is a bit off track IMO.
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming...

v4.01(next week) will use your Distance & Speed Unit setting for mountain elevations mentioned in the map.

Same for me - stabilizing with speed limit set to “Always” - but still double display in landscape.

Quote from Hoya95 on 07.10.2024, 08:48Anyone else have trouble when using their headset and speaking on the phone while Scenic 4 is running? What happens is that the person on the other end says my audio is very choppy / dropping small bits of the conversation but frequently doing so.
I am asking this versus reporting it as a bug as it has happened twice but not every time and it is possible there are environment issues (i.e. mobile reception) at play. However, each time, killing Scenic fixed the issue (while still on the call). It still could be coincidence but hearing if other people are having the issue would be helpful.

Quote from Frb on 07.10.2024, 12:23Upgraded to 4 and it’s not been good so far. As far as I can tell iOS is not recognizing the app as a navigation app. So when you go out of the app the app fails to record your track. Also the Dynamic Island in newer iPhones used to show the app running in the background so you could easily switch to it but that is not happening anymore. Here is a screenshot of what happens when you switch to a different app while riding. It draws a straight line to where you switched the screen back to the app.

Quote from Guido on 07.10.2024, 12:26Yes. Sorry. This is a bug. Navigation/Tracking doesn't work with Scenic in the background or locked iPhone. Will be fixed in v4.01 (release by end of this week).

Quote from GB on 07.10.2024, 12:30Guido, one thing I’m personally not keen on is the red dot for entering the menu to stop the route, it reminds me of a record button, preferred the square one.

Quote from ipro on 07.10.2024, 13:36Hello Guido,
great work and thank you for the continuous development of this great software. I have a small suggestion for improvement that can perhaps be made with little effort: the search window is very small in relation to the screen area, so you can't read the labels completely. Can it be enlarged?
Regards
Ingo

Quote from GB on 11.10.2024, 02:32Latest update as a big jump forward for V4, WunderLINQ now opens scenic as it should and it seems the duplicate speeds have gone when you rotate it from portrait to landscape. Haven’t used it yet but hoping to test it out the weekend.
Good job Guido

Quote from GB on 12.10.2024, 06:06Had this issue sometimes on V3 as well as V4, but seems more common on V4. The “watch your speed” warning in red at the top is not always readable, can often only see bottom edge of it? Is this a setting on my phone?

Quote from Guido on 12.10.2024, 07:00I'll have a look. Don't think it's a phone setting. Maybe something to do with device position (landscape vs protrait, and/or rotation). The "safe area" is different in landscape / portrait and different on different iPhone models. (some have 'dynamic islands', some don't).
