in my opinion the direct waypoint navigation could be significant better. I will describe my proposal by the following usecases and requirements:
usecase1
I
• am
○ in unknown area, no roads, no paths
○ on bike
• always see a compass
• am planning a target by defining a point
• don't want look to the mobile display. I leave my smartphone in my pocket because
○ its rainy, gloves on hands
○ im on bike
○ i must be concentrated to traffic with both hands at steer
○ ...
i wish to be guided to this target point by voice
• with informations in detail:
○ name + optional text
○ distance
○ direction
○ high difference
... until
§ i am close enough. I expect an Info like "you have arrived Point X. It`s closer than Y meters ... configured by yourself"
§ i discard the guiding
in OruxMaps v10.6.3 gp
• waypoint (approach)alarm by voice informs me only to distance and optional the name.
This is not useful enough. I want arrive the point, not only know how far it is (in best case).
• waypoint alarm by voice stops
○ after the predefined number of informations
○ if the distance will become greater
usecase2
expands usecase1:
i am planning a route by (using the route-planning-tool without autorouting by direct lines) defining some ordered points
i wish to be guided by voice
• point by point in there defined order
• with informations to the next AND his following point.
○ to decide my moving direction for the next steps. the last point of chain is nearly usless for this.
○ see information details of usecase1
• point1 should be additionally announced as "start of route"
• last point should be additionally announced as "end of route"
currently in OruxMaps v10.6.3 gp
• the points by route-planning-tool all named "waypoint" without an ordering number. I cant distinguish between them.
• the option "last waypoint" results always in voice information about the next WP = 2 times the same info
requirement configurable options for voice guiding announcments for points
• name
• distance
○ in Km
○ < 1Km in meter ansagen
○ max precision ( e.g. 10 m)
• direction in degree (0..360)
○ max precision ( e.g. 1 degree)
• high difference (in positiv | negativ meters)
... like the visual display while target navigation
requirement clarify between direct target navigation to
• only 1 point
• a list of points (ordered chain of points)
requirement enhance optional announcment of the next and the following point
requirement voice alarms for approaching a point until reaching or skip target
requirement the route-planning-tool by direct lines auto assiggns ordering numbers to the point
requirement enable redefining list of points for navigation
• add /delete points
• change their order
• change further informations
• auto reassign the ordering numbers
• while active navigation
requirement configuration direct editing a xml oder json file
thanks for your intresting
