TeslaLauncher V2 (v1.3.0)

This major update focuses on significantly improving the navigation experience, bringing dynamic real-time speed limit tracking, and polishing the user interface for a cleaner, safer, and more Tesla-like driving environment.

New Features & Improvements

  • Dynamic Real-Time Speed Limits: Speed limits are no longer statically tied to navigation maneuvers. The app now continuously tracks your exact GPS position along the route line and updates the speed limit instantly as you drive through different speed zones.
  • Visual Speeding Alert: The current speed display now dynamically turns red whenever you exceed the active speed limit, helping you maintain situational awareness without taking focus off the road.
  • Compact Navigation Panel: The turn-by-turn instructions, remaining distance, and ETA have been completely redesigned into a sleek, single-row layout. This significantly increases the visible area of the map.
  • Redesigned Instrument Cluster: * Current speed and speed limit signs have been relocated to the top-right corner for optimal visibility.
    • System status (OBD connection, GPS, Battery, Coolant Temp) is now cleanly organized in the top-left corner.
    • The RPM bar is now fully integrated into the center of the cluster (automatically hides when RPM is 0).
  • Refined Map Controls: The "Cancel Route" button (red cross) has been decoupled from the search bar and repositioned to the top-left, resulting in a cleaner search interface and easier reachability while driving.

Technical Context

Previous versions mapped speed limits to text-based navigation instructions (e.g., waiting for the next turn to update the limit). This update rewrites the routing logic to utilize Mapbox's annotations=maxspeed API parameter. The system now parses the entire route geometry into coordinate segments and uses a real-time proximity-matching algorithm to pair the vehicle's current GPS location with the exact speed limit of that specific road segment.
