Improvemnt in map and gadgets

[Jacques Foucry]

Hello folks,

I new here so excuse my bad knowledge of the group.

I would like to make some proposal to the map gui and the gadgets.

I use the OSMandm~ F-Droid version on a One Plus 5T with lineageOS without any google apps (no MicroG too).

I think the current speed limits is not really visible.

It could be a great improvement  to display the current limit exactly as when you are over the speed limits.

The gadget is to small to be read while driving.

The over speed limit could be announced by a sound or changing the edge of the screen in read.

Regards,

Jacques

If you mean "announce the moment you exceed the limit" then you can
configure OsmAnd to do exactly that.

Start by opening the main menu (three horizontal bars control in bottom
left corner of main map display). Pick "Settings". Next pick
"Navigation Settings" and then choose the profile you wish to
configure. Once in a profile, pick "Announce" and make sure "Speed
Limit" is toggled on. Then pick "Speed Limit Tolerance" and choose how
far over, under, or exact, you want the speed limit announcement to
occur. You will then get an audio announcement of the speedlimit when
you reach the tolerance factor.

Audio announcements are already available -- see above paragraph. The
"Announce" menu contains items for which you want to receive audio
announcements. Turn on the ones for which you wish to be alerted by an
audio announcement.

Thanks Xavier, I will check those settings next time I will drive.
