OnPath 0.14.0 – voice guidance, a clearer way to stop, and found places as pins

Navigation and voice

  • Voice guidance (Settings → Navigation → Turn hints: Off · Vibration · Voice, default Voice). On the bike in two
    steps ("In 150 Metern links." – "Gleich links."), on foot "Gleich links." just before the junction. "Los geht's" once
    at the start, "Abseits der Route." / "Wieder auf der Route.", "Neue Route. Bitte umdrehen." when the new way starts
    behind you.
  • The turn card stays on top: with no turn near it says "↑ Geradeaus · 2,4 km", so nothing jumps.
  • Stops are reached only by coming near them (25 m on foot, 40 m on the bike); arrival needs every stop and the
    end of the line – no more "Ziel erreicht" too early on round trips.
  • Navigate shows the plan's numbered points; passed ones turn grey.
  • No GPS while the phone lies still: nothing is shown – the phone's own motion sensor tells still from moving.
    The warning comes only when you move without GPS.

Stopping and changing the route on the way

  • Slide "→ Stopp" and three tiles appear: green Pause / Resume, blue Change route, red End. A tap on the map
    or Back closes them.
  • Changing the route during a tour: your position shows your activity's sign; at the bottom green "Navigation
    fortsetzen", blue "Route speichern", red "Änderungen verwerfen"    .
  • Ending: "Aufnahme beenden?" with "Aufnahme speichern" and, for a new or changed route, a box to save it too.
    Delete asks no second question – it goes to the recycle bin for 30 days.

Planning

  • The start button says "Los geht's · ‹destination›".
  • An empty plan tells you how to begin: "Wohin soll’s gehen? Halte dein Ziel auf der Karte gedrückt – oder such es
    oben in der Suchleiste."
  • A search result or a place shared from Google Maps is a blue pin with its name under it – tap the name for
    "Als Ziel", "Hier starten", "In Google Maps öffnen" or "Nadel entfernen". Shared places are also kept in "Recent".
  • Plan buttons as light pills: "✕ Neu planen" · "⇅ Umkehren" · "↻ Rundtour".
  • Bike / Gravel on a paved footway: the amber note "Fußweg – evtl. schieben" instead of "Schieben".

Words

  • Route = planned, Tour = ridden, Aufnahme = the running recording. My routes has the tabs "Geplant" /
    "Unterwegs"    .

Under the hood

  • Many robustness fixes from the pre-release review: no lost tour on a damaged database, points written later when
    storage is busy, safe resumable downloads (update checked by sha256), no silent sync failures, GPX import cleanups.
  • Requests to brouter.de name the app: OnPath/0.14.0 (+https://onpath.earth).
