When changing the application colors, the offline maps go away, along with the map style ????

@Leeb64 it should be fixed in Cruiser 3.0.28, please see:

Since update to 3..0.27 I have an issue with the font which is used to display gps recording on the right site last .Looks like bold? Update to 3.0.28 did not make it better. See screenshot:

@Ciutnik thanks for the test, so something has returned.

If anyone is interested, please contact me (email is on Google Play).
I can send you a Cruiser apk to test on your devices.

@devemux86
Of course, I can check it on my old Mi8. But this is Android 10 (MIUI 12), although as I see similar problems.

[devemux86]

@r11d11 and @Ciutnik tested a Cruiser apk on their devices with a fix for the dark mode and the issue should be solved.

Thanks everyone for the report and the tests!

The fix will be included in the next Cruiser.

[r11d11]

I contacted devemux86, did a test with the brand new version and now the character set on cruiser with my MI9 in dark mode looks good again. I am happy. Thanks for the fast response :-)

[devemux86]

The system's dark mode on some phones has been fixed again in Cruiser 3.0.29.

Somewhat unfortunate German translation: Symbol Fork+Knive->> Lebensmittel.. would be better: Restaurant or Essen+Trinken.
Lebensmittel means a grocery store.

[Leeb64]

Or more generally: "Gaststätte"

[Leeb64]

I think "Speisen" is OK.

[DolomitesTom]

The resulted search are restaurants, Döner Grill and Imbiss. Gaststätten/Imbiss would be good.

[DolomitesTom]

Speisen would also work

[devemux86]

"Food" currently contains restaurants + fast food.
"Drink" currently contains bars + pubs.
More tags could be added to them, if we need them.

Please see all tags in this list:

• Offline search POI categories #195 (comment)

[Leeb64]

How can you remove the POIs that are shown on the map?

[devemux86]

Long press on POI and select "Delete all".

[Leeb64]

...again something learned..thank you

Next Cruiser will have a very significant improvement for all of us who use Bluetooth connection!

There will be much improved voice volume when we select to prepare the Bluetooth connection
before voice announcements, using the following Cruiser options in "Settings | Voice guidance":

• Voice volume
• Prepare audio connection (ms)

[Ciutnik]

Great! I recently changed my BT receiver which is a bit quieter than the previous one so I was looking for a solution to forcing the volume a bit higher than I can do in the system.

I use the notification channel for the Cruiser audio (I'm getting blues on the media channel 😎). Will the upcoming change help me?

[devemux86]

@Ciutnik it will certainly help in the case you use the Cruiser option "Prepare audio connection".

Also try the Cruiser option "Voice volume" to set the voice volume independently from the system.

An improved voice volume in Bluetooth connections is available in Cruiser 3.0.31.

It seems to me that "Prepare audio connection" helps with truncated messages(?) - I don't have this problem. Only I would like to set the volume of notifications to... 110%. Always, after detecting a motorcycle, Tasker set the volume of notifications to 100% and music to 80%, and that was fine. It's a little too quiet now (I still have some volume left for media but not notifications). Of course I also tried to force 100% in Cruiser, but it didn't help.

Some media players (MX Player, PowerAmp) have a kind of system-independent volume control and allow you to set the level well above what the system allows. I've seen apps that claim to do this but I haven't tested it yet. Also, I'm not sure if such tricks are allowed in the notification channel.

[devemux86]

Correctly, as some Bluetooth devices need some ms to open.

set the level well above what the system allows

Τhis is something worth checking if it is possible and how it can be done. 🙂
