Hello there,
I have a problem using the apps in landscape mode.
when I’m in this landscape mode, informations about via point are not readable enough, I explain :
In portrait mode the informations create (for example : stop fuel) are readable, but in landscape mode the window is too small and the entire text is not visible.
Is there a way to enlarge this window ?
the same problem for the direction window.
Thanks a lot for your response.
Best regards
Francois
In landscape mode you can swipe to scroll the widget with the gas station up to make the ‘add to route’ button visible. If I missed your point please describe a bit more in detail the issue.
If it is about this window, then it is big enough, just the contents are inappropriately prioritized. Showing a placeholder image with no information and function and not being able to see useful buttons is suboptimal at best:
Sure, you can swipe up, but the app could also display the buttons on the first screen…
I think @fafi64 means the names of the waypoints.
In portrait the name is displayed over the whole width of the display. In landscape the width of the text is limited to the width of the info boxes in right upper corner and ends up in short text with points “My fav…”.
Hello Toffel,
I agree with you it’s a problem of of width of the info boxes.
Thanks for your help 
Hello Guenther,
I agree with Toffel, it’s a problem of of width of the info waypoints boxes.
Thanks for your help
If you have any of the three additional infos displayed in bottom right window, much less VP name text is visible in portrait mode:
If you are using additional info (bottom right), you might actually be able to see slightly more VP name text in landscape mode:
Making the info-box in upper right corner bigger would cover more map area than it already does. Would that be a desirable tradeoff for you?
Hi t00thl355,
Making the info-box in upper right corner bigger could be a solution for me, but I don’t know how to enlarge this info-box.
Thank you for your explanations
You cannot, but you can express your opinion about it and see if developers could make some improvements.
The info-box in the upper right corner is a new solution and opinions like yours help developers in evaluating user acceptance.
I personally would not like to have the info box at the upper right corner at all - IMO it obstructs the view on the map and the route. I would definitely not advocate making it bigger. I would be in favour of “all info-boxes on the left side” layout, like it is on Android Auto or Carplay. But that’s just my opinion and there are other views. Finding a good compromise is not always the easiest task.
Hmm. A friend (yes, not me!) saw the design with black boxes, I switched for him to light transparent boxes.
The conversation was interesting.
“Better?”
“Yes!”
“You still look unhappy?”
"“Yes, please hide it completely!”
“Why?”
“I am driving most of the time roundtrips and I know, that it takes 4 hours, and I know that in 2 hours I have lunch at a certain point. Why must I see it at all or all the time?”
“It is important. There are people complaining even when the arrival time is not exaxt to 5 or 10 minutes.”
“Really? This is not my understanding of driving a motorcycle.”
My thoughts were ..
Thanks for the “second hand feedback” @Toffel. Noted!
Those are things we already discussed at some point in the past… In my opinion, the other clicks would just complicate the function of the first two again. If the box really is too small or too big, we should find a more permanent solution to the problem.
We take this kind of feedback seriously @fafi64. But so far, it seems that the majority of users aren’t particularly bothered by it. We’ll keep an eye on it
Hi Kira,

Hi Toffel,
thanksfor your answer.
Hi t00thl355,
thanks for your answer.
An other possibility could be having access to the police character parameter dimension in order to be able to manage the size of the police character.
Thanks a lot for your help.
