When following a route, you naturally want to zoom in and out of the map every now and then using + and -. Unfortunately, you can only cycle through the individual points going “clockwise” (to the right). Because of that, you reach - at the very end, followed immediately by x. If you aren’t paying attention, you end up clicking on x, and clicking the Multi-Controller ends up kicking you out. Unfortunately. Couldn’t this be set up so that you could also cycle through the points going “counter-clockwise” (to the left), which would put - first…?
I would go even much further. The default setting when using the BMW Multicontroller is always to end navigation. That is the last function you need. Since route planning is good but not perfect, the normal rider needs the zoom-out function to check the further course of the route.
With the Carpuride, I experience a significant delay when operating it with the Multicontroller, to the point where I have to make a turn without being able to check whether I’m just riding in circles around the block.
In addition, this is obviously a massive distraction while riding.
It would be optimal to jump directly into the zoom-out position so that I can see an overview of the further route without losing time while scrolling.
Who is responsible for this function when using Kurviger, Android Auto, and Carpuride, or who can change it?
Ever since the “X” button was introduced on Android Auto and the cursor is always parked on it, it’s gotten really worse, not just for BMW but for Honda as well.
I’ve asked multiple times whether the order of the buttons on AA could be changed, and the response was essentially that Kurviger has no control over the cursor’s movement on the AA display. Looking at how other apps (besides Gmaps and Waze) work, that actually seems to be correct.
With AA, Google unfortunately sets the design guidelines. And you’re right, with the BMW wheel you can’t really control anything without driving 100 meters blind. I treated myself to the Ridernav; even though everything works there without delay, I basically only use my fingers to zoom. Anything else is practically life-threatening.
