What's New in Strada v1.11

Improved Screen Alignments

Prior to v1.11, some UI elements didn't line up perfectly.  Specifically, the Current Speed and Unit (mph or kmh) had a slight vertical alignment problem.  Now they do.  This improves ease of use.

Plus, Commute info now only occupy one line.  This makes the screen look less crowded and easier to read by the user.

Bigger Commute Info and Clock

Now that we reclaimed some vertical space from the Commute Info section, we enlarged the Commute Info and Clock.  Those two are the second and third most important pieces of information, and so needed to be bigger.

Support for More Devices

Strada now works well with many other screen sizes.  Whether you're using a smaller phone or a tablet, Strada should look like it was built for your device, no more one size fits all!

Smaller App Size

In a mobile device, smaller app size is better.  In v1.11, we made Strada 14% than the previous version.  This means faster downloads from the Google Play Store!

What's New in v 1.10

Here are the biggest changes to Strada in v1.10:

Full Landscape Support

Previously, only one landscape orientation was supported.  If you use your phone on the other landscape orientation, you end up with a reversed screen.  In v1.10, when you rotate your phone to the other landscape orientation, the screen elements will rotate to match the new orientation.

Speed Warning Adjustments

Speed Warning for the Street is now triggered only at the Street Threshold + 5 mph (or kmh).  So, if you set it to 40mph, Speed Warning will trigger when you reach 41mph - 45mph.  Once you reach 46mph, the warning display turns off.  It is assuming you know what you're doing.

Likewise, for the Freeway (aka Motorway, Autobahn, Autostrada, Highway), Speed Warning is triggered only at Freeway Threshold + 10mph (or kmh).  If you set it to 70mph, Speed Warning stays active from 71mph - 80mph.  After that, it assumes you know what you're doing.

Travel Time

Renamed Elapsed Time into a more user-friendly Travel Time.
