Are we getting this update on Tomtom Go version or Tomtom NDS navigation, as i have the beta on Tomtom navigation not Tomtom Go?
I love the functionality of two separated screens. On car screen I can see the view for a driver. In the same time co-driver on the phone screen can do everything in the app (e.g. finding another way or checking any POIs on the road etc.)
need to connect to car as first connection after it is seen by AA
I can see the arrival time and the distance, but not the time it will take. I can see this when I select drive on the AA screen, would be nice to have this in the overview before driving
Congrats to the team from TT. You have entered a new milestone, fantastic job.
Can't wait to see how it behaves on my AA unit tomorrow.
I have used Sygic on the same head unit and that switches to 3D maps as soon as the car is moving, so it is doable or at least an option to start it in 3D mode
Are there plans to be able to sync My Routes created in My Drive Desktop to work in TomTom Go Android Auto? If so, what is the rough timescale....
My Drive does indeed upload the route to My Routes, on TomTom Go or TomTom Navigation apps. Maybe you forgot to manually sync the new route on My Drive desktop to all your systems.
I have only one wish: next exit or road number on the screen. It is spoken, but not visible.
I have tried out latest TomTom GO Navigation with Android Auto support (3.1.0) and have noticed an issue with 'My Places' incomplete sync while using in AA mode.
While using in AA mode, only part of 'my places' is shown.
When running in native Android mode the list is complete.
Please kindly advise.
And yes, side-bar will be much appreciated (even though I doubt this would be possible, Google has introduced very strict limitations for developers in AA, and all 3rd party navi apps available in AA are looking almost identical in regards with general functionality and look&feel, i.e. no map drag'n'drop, etc.).
TBH, Amigo app looks more advanced at the moment (in regards with AA mode). Amigo is showing traffic jam delays on the map, distance, when planning a route it shows a traffic delay and arrival time for each of the options, etc. All this is missing in Go App at the moment.
I'm only missing Mydrive sync of My Places in Amigo, but it's broken in GO app in Android Auto mode anyway....
This is known limitation of Android Auto library that we use to implement Android Auto support in our app. We have reported it to google here: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/179648622
Exactly, thanks for this comment. We have in plans to investigate this topic, since it isn't as easy as it looks to add the route bar if we are limited by the AA library.
Yes, we are aware about those issues, and we have them reported in our backlog. We collect all the feedback that we get from the users.
- Sidebar
- Zoom and Pan capability in 2D-Map
Like many others I really would appreciate to see those features in future releases. Thank you for considering this. Have a nice day.
As I understood Google's AA library is currently not able to support TT's sidebar.
So we have to wait and see.
One more thing for the dealbreaker listing to avoid the sidebar problem:
- Search and present at least two alternative routes while driving, initiated manually by touching the car's display or throug speech instruction.
You do get the suggestions.
After having planned a route on the Go navigation 3.1.0 application, how do I add a stage to the route from the application as with the old 2.3.7 application?

I think you man this. (Sorry for the german screenshots. But they show what i mean)
Por lo demás perfecto.
