Some suggestions that I have for the sky bar that resides at the top of the map:
- A weather bar could effectively show what driving conditions that lie ahead without switching to a standalone weather app. This could either be for the current location or the destination location or some user defined interval that lies on the route ahead. It should be kept fairly simple, but should have different graphics for events like fog, snow, rain, cloudy, sunny, ect. Maybe a temperature gauge could also be implemented, but I feel this is little of a reach.
- A minor improvement maybe the true location of the sun (day mode) within the sky bar in conjunction with the weather bar.
- A minor improvement maybe the displaying of the current phase of the moon (night mode) within the sky bar in conjunction with the weather bar.
- A minor improvement maybe the incorporation of a primitive compass for smart phones that have accelerometers and compass capabilities.
These are a few ideas/suggestions that I have thought of that may help make the product more robust and help with safety and situational awareness. Keep up the good work on an already great product!
