Navigation display size settings

[devemux86]

Next Cruiser will provide additional options to customize the size of the navigation screen.

Cruiser already provides font + display size options in "Settings | Application | Advanced",
but these options change the texts and interface of the whole application.

What if we only want to change the sizes on the main screen:

• Font: texts in info panels)
• Display: direction icon in navigation)

[DolomitesTom]

Yes, sounds good, I would prefer more granularity in size options

[devemux86]

I would prefer more granularity in size options

Separate size options for font + display will be available in the next Cruiser update (see the image above).

[devemux86]

Separate size options for font + display in main screen are available in Cruiser 3.0.18.

Available in "Settings | Application | Appearance" or search settings for "size".

---

• Better use default or 100% sizes in "Settings | Application | Advanced" that change the whole application
• And modify the sizes in "Settings | Application | Appearance" that only change the main navigation screen

[DolomitesTom]

I am already curious

[devemux86]

We could modify slightly the names of these size settings,
so users can understand that the "Appearance" settings are for the main screen
while the "Advanced" size settings change the whole application.

Overall Display Size vs. Navigation Panels Size

The resulted difference is great, very much like it.

Overall Display Size vs. Navigation Panels Size

Indeed, the purpose of the new size settings is to adjust the main screen according to our preferences,
without having to resize the entire application and potentially "break" the display of all dialogs, screens.

A separate setting for the size of the screen buttons will be available in the next Cruiser:

In my opinion, the enlarged compass is not necessarily because there is no need to press it while driving. Well, unless there is an idea to use it in the future...

[devemux86]

Currently the compass allows to change the map orientation (via long press).
[No rotation, 2D rotation, 3D rotation]

[Ciutnik]

Currently the compass allows to change the map orientation

Yes, but these changes are not often made, especially while driving 🙂
As for me, there could be an option to switch the mode: indicating north or destination (this is how I have it in other navigation).

@Ciutnik can you create a new topic so we can discuss it?

You could also write there more details about the "destination".
(I understand the north is the "No rotation" in Cruiser)

[devemux86]

since the "off-route" triangle is also a button, its size should also be variable

The off route warning "button" is also changed by the "Buttons size" setting in Cruiser 3.0.24.

[devemux86]

what should the Appearance Display+Font sliders alter?

The size settings in "Advanced" change the whole application (there is application reference in their names).

The size settings in "Appearance" change the main screen used in navigation and follow, e.g. font and icons.
They are in the same settings area with the various color settings that change the same main screen panels.
In that area there will be a new setting for the size of the screen buttons, see image above: #129 (comment)

As we already changed the main app menu and the various navigation action menus with new large buttons,
is there any other area that we need extra size when operating the app outside, e.g. with gloves?

[MotoUKRider]

Thanks for the "Appearance" explanation - yes, I can see that now and have adjusted them so the on-screen info is a little bigger.

[DolomitesTom]

The size settings in "Advanced" change the whole application (there is application reference in their names).

button size is now selectable, but I still would need this advanced font size because otherwise the menu font stays small.

[devemux86]

At the very least, try changing only the advanced font size.

Not the advanced display size, as it changes everything in the user interface.

[devemux86]

menu font

@DolomitesTom when you say "menu font" do you mean the menu window, for example when long press on the map?

Like the images here?

[DolomitesTom]

Yes this and also the font size in menu settings including the submenus

[DolomitesTom]

At the very least, try changing only the advanced font size.

This only changes the font size of the navigation information bars.

[devemux86]

"Advanced | Font size (application)" changes the size of texts in the whole application.

"Appearance | Font size" only changes the text in the navigation / follow screen panels.
