New menu with large buttons in route planning for ease of use, similar to the look of the rest of the app. Let me know if you like:

At first glance, coloured buttons can be easily identifiable, but the purposed icons with same colour are very different and there are no doubt of its meaning, and visually the app is better in my oppinion. |

We use icons from the Material icons collection. If you think we could use a better icon for any button, please let me know. 🙂 |

What a nice addition! The use of colour, I feel, makes the process much more "fluid" - it allows you to translate an "action" to what is on the map. For example, when tweaking the Map Layers/Theme, I have to stare quite hard at the buttons to work out just where the action button is - especially when moving between Portrait and Landscape modes. I'd say that using larger identical icons from the map keeps things "on brand". |

Maybe a different icon with different colour will be more identifiable, so use both options could be a third option. |

Very nice move, the "old fashioned" icons in the route/map menu made the app somehow look "unfinished".
This sounds nice to me, too! So switch to the new icons, but keep the color codes for start (green), end (red) and via points (yellow)!? |

Color is a color, but it would be good to also "standardize" icons within the entire application. We already have two different (not counting the pins on the map) marking the destination of the route. Now comes the checkered flag, which I like as a "finish line" 🙂

@Ciutnik indeed we can use the same flag icon. |

Or colorful pins? 😀 |

Better not add a setting just for these icons. We can choose whether we want same-colored or multi-colored icons. |

Although I like the top set (single color) more visually, I would vote for the bottom set (colored) so as not to introduce symbols other than those we have on the map. Sometimes you have a split second to make a decision, often when you are nervous, it is probably better for everything to be 100% clear and well known at first glance. |

It looks good like in 2nd row with colour... |

In terms of visibility, colors would be better. |

New icon menu in route planning is available for testing in: It contains the colored waypoint buttons, let's see if you like them. Please check if everything is working correctly, if we need a different menu order or other icons from Material icons. |

I vote for "More Horiz" (left) 😁 |

Three dots are a natural "more" link for me. |

On first sight, I actually favour the > chevron as it seemed "obvious" - certainly if there's a next page of buttons available. To me, the ellipsis usually means a truncated portion of text that you can click on to reveal more (like a blog preview). It's also worth considering that the "more" button may benefit from being the opposite of the "back-up" icon when navigating menus. |

@MotoUKRider This is also correct, but please see the "Extend" button icons with the left / right arrows. If we use any right arrow at the "More" button and to avoid confusion, then the "Extend" buttons must change icons?

@devemux86 That's the fun, I guess... You change 1 thing and 3 things then require attention 😕 |

I have some suggestions to further improve the route planning (menu) - see below & the mockup I created...
The "Route diagram" tile which is also available in Main menu > Routing is already available in the route options after selecting the "More..." tile. 
What do you think @devemux86? |

@bios4 thanks for the suggestions!
Not sure if the word "Options..." is correct in "Route" menu. We also use it in favorite and waypoint menus.
This is not the same diagram:

Would be OK for me!
For me "Options" in both menus are OK, because that's what they are offering: either options for the RoutING, or options for the Route itself. I would stick to both, wording and icon! My suggestions is more about the general tiles order in the menus, so that the "Options" tile is always before the "Delete" tile...
To be honest, I would expect these two in the exact opposite way!!! Main > RoutING: turn on/off the diagram in the UI |

We can also do this. |

There should be a distinction between both “options”. |

Colours always add level of quick recognization. Its harder to design, but if used wiselly, they alway beats one colour icons design. |

That's really important for anyone who studied 12 semesters of Germanistik (and now works as Taxi driver ...). 🤭 |

Make fun of it all you want, but I stand for the preservation of the - correct - German language and spelling... Just take a look at the way people write these days (especially on the internet/social media/text messages). It makes at least ME personally want to vomit. BTT now |

I also found the wording of "Route calculation Intelligent" to be a little odd. One of my favourites is the phrasing of a question, eg: "how to move the waypoint to a new place?" It make sense, but you know it's a non-native English speaker. The same with being asked how long you've been here: "since 10 minutes" isn't a phrase you'd hear us use. We also like putting Us in our Favourite Colours! |

I've seen it probably 100 times! I absolutely love it*! 😀 *Unfortunately, with the exception of the later casting of Herr Flick and Captain Bertorelli...
Since we don't use 'baseball pitch' among the length units and the app is 'made in Europe' maybe we should actually use the forms 'Favourite' and 'Colour' (perhaps there are more such nuances) in the app? 🙂 |

If the "Options..." and its icon is confusing, we can change it. For a while we also had this:

For 'more' I would perhaps use the 3 dots like everywhere in Android. |

@umpfmpf we already use it. This is for the other menu, now "Options..." on the latest Beta. |

As I already said above I think it suits very well (way better than the word "Edit" and this gear icon in your latest screenshot).
This sounds reasonable, then you could keep the wording "Options" in the route menu. |

Just a suggestion : Instead of a 2-level structure, a 3-level chain - okay with some button rearrangements ... Status quo: new format: Open fire for discussions! |

@WolfgangZ42 thanks, this is a nice idea with one less button in the first screen. |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

|
Another idea is to combine the first 2 screens into 1 screen with all the buttons related to the route. But it will be long and use a scrollbar, so probably not very useful vs. 2 screens with a More button? |

Please DON'T implement a menu with scrollbars!!! |
