🆕 What's new · v1.27.61

"Feels like a new detector!", -e This is what people are saying after using the Radar Companion™ apps - See what all the fuss is about, try it for yourself! This new version is a major overhaul in alert presentation and navigation experience in preparation for future CarPlay integration. New for version 1.27: • New alert screen (portrait & landscape views). *Option to view classic or new alert screen with a tap of a button. • New alert screen banners showing detailed alert, false assist, POI, MyRadarIQ, over speed warnings and other detailed detector status information. • Full navigation functionality in preparation for future CarPlay integration. • Alternate Route selection with highway, and toll avoidance. • Navigation screen shows arrival time, distance & trip time remaining. • 'Show traffic' option while navigating. • 'Recent trip' quick selection. • Nearby points of interest selection. • Quick Nav selection from classic alert screen. • Quickly switch back from navigation screen to classic alert details screen. • “Free Drive” (map / no map) alert screen when not in navigation mode. • Free Drive without map display option (battery saver). • Disable “trip details” pop up. • Misc. bug fixes and optimizations Other recent big updates: • MyRadarIQ™ - Threat assessment intelligent system for the radar companion series of apps. A new meter, visible at the top of the main alert screen, will show a graphical representation of the probability of a police presence (Ka or Laser) in the direction of your travel. Using your personal alert data, whenever a high probability exists for an encounter ahead, you will know about it well in advance of facing the actual threat. The meter will go from yellow (low threat), to orange (medium threat), to red (high threat) and flash aa a voice announcement occurs. The meter will also flash red when a Ka or Laser alert is actively being received to help draw attention to the alert. Probabilities are calculated down to the day of the week you are traveling, increasing the accuracy on any given day. • Posted speed limit displayed on main alert screen. • Customizable low speed muting based on the speed limit. • SpotLock engine version 03012026 - latest historical data. • Advanced false assist engine version 03012026 - latest 5+ years of historical data. • Instantly see your changes when modifying detector settings. • Accessibility option to flash the screen on alert. If you liked R8 Companion before this release, you are going to LOVE it after! Modify the most popular settings on your R8 radar detector right from the app! See the list below for a complete list of the settings you can modify (more settings coming in future updates). Spread the word, it is only going to get better. If you have an idea / suggestion you would like included in a future update, please visit https://crackedpixel.com/contact-us to let us know. Thanks! Noteworthy info: • Supports R8 & R8w detectors. • Firmware update notifications via main alert screen. • New and improved SpotLock 2.0 and Advanced False Assist 3.0. Both data driven systems are updated regularly using 5+ years of historical data. This takes your detector to a whole new level of quietness and safety against real threats. • Ability to backup/restore all, or just backup SpotLocks, POI, and Ka and Laser Alerts individually. • Option to have the radar detector's alert tones play through the app. The setting is found in the 'Audio Settings' of R8 Companion. • Improved Bluetooth connection speed (now up to 60% faster) and re-connection reliability. Speed limit data © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL) ***TIP: Setting the main volume for the detector to 0 on the main alert screen and enabling the detector alert tones, will eliminate the brief audio "blips" you would normally hear when a mute command is first sent to the detector. Only potential threats will then trigger audio through your speaker or audio system providing an extremely quiet ride.
