Cheers. I’ll update. I was looking for these changes. Where by are they listed?
Their aren’t very many changes to the core functionality. The real change was the whole UI was reworked. Now their are 5 stand alone apps that can crosstalk with navigation.
The most important imo is that you can now pan the screen in route-overview. Have been waiting for that since maps was released. Overall I like the new changes. It’s good that you start with the map screen since that is what you want in 99% of the cases.
My only wish now is that they add a toggle if you want to start at your current location or the last.
Yeah guys.. only bug fixes. Nothing more they updated. The slowest development on the world.
