@devemux86 Just tried this, the App immediately closes. I was prompted to clear the cache, I did, and still get the immediate exit. Of course, if I try to re-install one of the earlier Betas, the APK is "not valid". I suppose the only recourse is to uninstall (but select "keep data") and re-install? Samsung S20, Android 13. |

The implementation with the small shaping points looks good. |

Well, things are working and I can see a number of nice changes. The Favorite icons look good, and I've tamed a few settings, ie: Direction Arrow colour to match my colour-scheme within the Profile. The "Full Screen" seems to work differently, previously, I could keep the phones status-bar visible when browsing the map. Engaging Follow/Navigate could take Cruiser "full-screen" (and remove the bottom 3 phone buttons, too). It seems that I can flick this menu up from the bottom but it's a bit fiddly. Roadside shenanigans could be tricky with this change. The "Battery" panel now needs to be enabled "all the time" from what I can see - previously, I only had it enabled for Follow+Navigate. It wasn't necessary during Browse because the phone's status-bar was visible. |

Is there a chance to either
And was there a request to change the icons from circles to (rounded) squares? |

Another change is that the route line increases its width as we zoom in, like the roads on the map. If this works well and we can keep it, we could think about whether we also need it for the tracks. |

I am also a bit unsure if I should update now because the last two versions were updates via Google Playstore where I do not have an apk. Is the 5.5.2 available as apk somewhere? |

Google Play version is also available in Releases section.

5.6.0 b2 starts now already in Landscape mode, probably because I have configured landscape mode for driving? I find the planning better in portrait mode. Can you either add separated modes for planning and driving or make it as before? |

I've found one issue with the new panels. After installing the beta my panel size was set to 90% (I guess from the previous version). ps: above the panel-size setting there is a function that is called "Umriss" in German - what is that? I could not see any change |

I already mentioned that some settings and most panels are only useful in motion, So we can make the screen orientation setting to only work in navigation / follow. |

Beta test report. Excellent nice progress !
A great basis for more unique Cruiser features? It is common for gpx wpt sym to support the app's internal icons to display. The attached demo gpz file with appropriate sym plus color show the color dots. |

Did the GPX Export change? I only see track and route, no Option für Waypoints any more. |

Small issue: Device time format is 24h, but the time panel has 12h format. Do you use device format or is there an internal setting? |

Trying out Beta 4, nothing has broken as yet 🔧 Is there a way to control/tame the Favorite Grouping so that icons are not "grouped" until a specific zoom-out? I know you changed how this worked some time ago for performance reasons, but I find that sometimes when 6 items are grouped, the map resolution would actually permit showing each icon. Could there be a horizontal divider bar between Start Navigate and Start Follow ? Just to allow an easier press. |

I made my first trip with the Pixel settings for the width instead of perventage. It is weird, looks very bad, the proportions are not correct at all and the smooth movement has gone. Please take this back again. |

Yes please, maybe this is the problem. I hardly can't believe that nothing has changed. What about the distance of the panels from the border? |

Die Einstellbarkeit der Symbolgrösse ist momentan von 100% bis 300%. Könnte man den Einstellbereich erweitern von 50% bis 300%? |

Can you please extend the 24px route width pixels to 40 pixels. 24px is equal to around 180% on the percent scale, much too small for me while driving. On the opposite while planning it is much to thick. |

Ok, if you want, but If I find it already difficult, how is a newcomer supposed to cope with it? Nevertheless, based on the beta 7 while driving: I would need up to 40px for driving in order to get to a point where it is usable like before for me. Potentially I would start testing with 30px. |

I do not offend anybody, I just express my opinion and my disappointment caused by such changes.
This is not what I see on my device. Can you tell me which version was the last with width in percent? So that I can make comparable screenshots while driving. |

You mean 5.6 which is on google play? 5.7.1 would be sufficient |
