Fresh Install Feedback #557
-
As What follows are my observations, not just in getting the default install to my liking, but some points to either discuss/improve/clarify.
This are the points exactly as I typed them in my text editor - so they are deliberately "raw". As a fairly experienced user, I obviously had no trouble getting things set to my own tastes (without resorting to a profile import). I found that it's far too easy to just rely on muscle-memory when you have the app showing the map style, app theme and layout exactly to your liking, so doing a fresh install with a fresh perspective can often clean-up little things sometimes missed. Do any of the above need a topic/discussion about how/why/when etc? |

@MotoUKRider thanks for the detailed report!
All permissions are asked when they are needed (these are also the official Android instructions).
The avoid options are enabled in each routing profile (fastest, curvy, extra curvy, etc).
Map downloads will be improved in the future.
Thanks, this will be fixed. 👍
It will be enriched in the future with more content.
Not sure, do we need to change the default here?
I cannot confirm this?
This is a user preference.
Also a user preference what panels to enable.
This is also a user preference. |

@devemux86 A few comments back... "Permissions" - When would Cruiser ask if it's OK to send me a notification? Just before it tries to notify me? (ie: on my 1st route?) "Keep screen on" - There are those that run "voice-only", so I can see that. But there's no "Android Auto", so I would argue that the majority of users are keen on a map that remains visible during navigation. A pet-peeve, mentioned a while ago elsewhere, is the default "visible" on fuel-stations in the Layers menu. I assume this is down to handling of the settings? It's mildly frustrating that a quick theme switch requires me to disable something Cruiser thinks I want to see. That's why I was pleased my "Day/Night Profile" tweak didn't suffer the same 😸 Many others are personal settings, as you said. |

Isn't it annoying to start an app and it immediately asks for location, notification, etc. permissions?
The avoid options are enabled in each routing profile (fastest, curvy, extra curvy, etc).
Their levels are hidden to not confuse the not advanced users with too many options?
