Thread: A Simple UX for Nextgen

@Morco

Once again, thx very much for your great us. Uses this within my iGO Pal Navigation app and modified your ux a 'little' bit. I'm not a coder, only 'changed' some strings here and there

I do not get fixed one part. Next exit on motorways. See picture please:

Spoiler: Picture 1

Spoiler: Code is in morco_button_portrait.css

TEXT.exit {
left: -615%; top: (screen_h/20); right: 0%;
font: defaultbd;
fontsize: 32;
color:#FFFFFF;
color2:#FFFFFF;
glowtype:1;
glowsize:2;
align:"LEFT";
paddingleft: 0;
paddingright: 0;
textbuiltin.format(L"%{distance}",%other.highway_drive.first_exit.distance));
wordwrap: 1;
visible%lua.exit && %other.highway_drive.first_exit.distance >0);
}

TEXT.exitinfo {
left: -615%; top: (screen_h/12); right: 100%;
font: defaultbd;
fontsize: 32;
color:#FFFFFF;
color2:#FFFFFF;
glowtype:1;
glowsize:2;
align:"LEFT";
paddingleft: 0;
paddingright: 0;
textmodel_wstr:"other.highway_drive.first_exit.name_enc";
wordwrap: 2;
visible%lua.exit);

I've changed the values for left; top; right, but the position of the text is not fixed.

I thought that the text has always on same gap/space to top, but it changes.

Any idea how to fix it?

@Morco

No idea?

Hi,

I will take a look when I can.

Working with Nextgen is a total nightmare for an amateur like me, Primo was much easier.



please read post #23 in the link below

This works in the same way.

So the coded position will move a little as buttons come & go. Note the extra button in 'highway mode ' as shown in your images & see from my image how the buttons bunch up.

Attaching the code to the sidelist helps to keep the coding as simple as possible, but it does have drawbacks, this being one of them.

I don't know of a way to stop this movement but is possible to work around it.

below shows a less than ideal way of doing it because at the moment I can't remember the more refined way.

add this to morco_button_portrait.css, so you will now have one set for when on regular roads and another set when on a highway

Code:

this controls visibility (on & off) when not on the highway

Code:

this controls visibility (on & off) when on the highway

Code:

The new set I have called TEXT.exitH & TEXT.exitinfoH ( the 'H' for highway)

you will need to add to the morco_button.ui

Code:

you will then need to adjust the Hieght in the highway set to match the hieght of the regular set.

This might take a bit of working out because you will not be able to use route simulation to test.

Thx very much.
First test looks quite good in simulation. Will try your modifikation in real navigation and report back.

This UX has been made for Nextgen Luna

now has some more functions

Spoiler: features

1/ Automatically shows route progress bar when a traffic event is found on route.

2/ Distance to & number of next available exit on motorway (orange text + exit icon)

3/ Tunnel length ( blue text)

4/ Postal code (red text)

5/ House numbers ( purple text)

6/ Mute button (on/off)

7/ Auto zoom button (on/off)

8/ Long press on zoom button = shortcut to route settings

9/ Long press on mute button = shortcut to avoid route ahead

10/ speedo

11/ flashing speed limit when overspeed

12/ purple notification banner

13/ added 'motorcycle' in vehicle profile choice

The button is Golden on the main screen. Not so well suited to his white neighbors.
I think that in relation to its neighborshe, the icon is too big in its internal dimensions.

Spoiler: Golden Button

Thank you

Hello @morco
Could you please, prepare a UX that replaces the screen-capture to a "White Camera" icon?
Thank you
