POI panels in navigation

[devemux86]

I also intensively use the points of interest during navigation: 3 coming fuel stations or the speed cameras. Selecting both poi will only show one of each. Good enough for speed camera, but I want to see more fuel stations so I'm switching the poi as I go.

• Currently if we select 1 POI in navigation, the app displays multiple panels for the next POI.
• If we select >1 POI in navigation, the app displays 1 panel / POI so all POI have visible panels.

Maybe we actually need a better function for this?

As some users may prefer 2-3 panels / POI even when we select >1 POI in navigation.

For me it depends on the poi itself: some poi (fuel station) need multiple panels in order to decide which fuel station to use. For example fuel station: if I have 70km left, and there is a station in 5km, it depends on the distance to the next station whether we use this one or not. If the next is 50 we wait, if more than 70 we is the first one. This might be applicable on other poi (shops, hotels,...) but I'm using only fuel stations. As for speed camera 1 is enough for me.

In the next update, the selected number of POI panels will work for each POI category separately.

So, regardless of how many POI categories are enabled in navigation settings,
you can choose how many panels per POI category will be visible.

Speed ​​cameras will only show 1 panel.

Wow, that was quick. Thanks!

Does it make sense to have a blank panel (spacer), say 20% the height of a standard one, that can be positioned anywhere in the panel list? I would like to somehow separate data such as time and clock from navigation data. Of course, this is an option, turned on and off like other panels.

This will probably be a waste of space for many users, but maybe someone (besides me) would be happy with it?

@Ciutnik In version 5.6 we can set different colors in panels:

• Set different colors in panels #584 (comment)

Shouldn't this be much faster to read than using empty pixels (that fill the screen)?

Also the panels can be reordered freely by the user, so there are no special groups.
(except favorites and POI)

I don't particularly like the color mix, but in fact, the freely definable colors of the icons in the panels help to recognize their "types".
I'll try this, although I was thinking of having the other colors only indicate the "Favorite" points panels, hence the idea for the spacing.
