Thoughts on UI changes

The old thread is simply too long to manage, so here's a new one: What are your thoughts on 06/29 UI changes?

Me:

1. Yea!!!! Choices!!!!!

2. Yea!!! They did away with some of the ridiculous two line labels (but not all of them)

3. I wish the Label Size option applied to all screens, not just 9+ field layouts

4. I wish the labels were not all upper case.

But it's a start and that is very welcome.

    Label size still too big and SHOUTY. The option should have been Large, Small, Off. Data Icons without labels might have been a good choice to have too.

    @Jim +1 on option to turn off data labels - Icons only would be a HUGE improvement

    Can we see some screenshots? I still have the old version and I don’t dare to update without knowing what I’ll be getting...

    Upgrade done, and not bad at all.

    Label Size option need to be applied to all screens, not just 9+ field layouts.

    I like that all labels were not all upper case.

    There are space to increase icons.

    If you never updated to the new UI last time I would still wait a while for potential tweaks and other possible optimisations before irreversibly committing.

    I kept the borders and turned the icons off.  The Data font looks larger.  I really appreciate the changes, Thanks Hammerhead team!

    Here's what it looked like yesterday:

    And what it looks like today:

    Ok, bit the bullet (if even you like it Lee, how bad could it be...), don’t like to have pending updates hanging.

    Close enough, the digits still feel a few px smaller than before with 10 fields but I might be imagining things, and anyway no big deal. The labels are still too prominent though, would strongly prefer to get them appear significantly less bright than the digits (like before), plus I have complained about the ALL CAPS thing already before this.

    Anyway, props to Hammerhead for responding this quickly rather than sticking to your guns, “would you recommend” score back from NaN to 9.

    Have to revise my earlier comment after the first ride with the new UI, the labels don’t really bother me (dunno why they looked so much brighter indoors), but the still slightly smaller size of the digits is definitely noticeable, but I guess I can live with that.

    Also in good news: the current position on the map screens is now much closer to the middle (spot on with 2 data fields, slightly too high with 4 and too low with none). At least when using north-is-up orientation, and actually I think it is okay even for forward-is-up, seeing more of the map in the forward direction is only useful when heading pretty much straight ahead whereas around something like hairpin turns it gets more random.

    I know can't see what my average speed is because it's telling me about my left turn in two miles. I can't see a way to hide the prompt and I'm sure it used to go below the data fields before.

    Someone correct me if I'm mistaken in this; but you can (and I have) turned off the pop-up turn-by-turn prompt in my settings. Also, back when I had it turned on, I could swipe down to dismiss the prompt and only leave the smaller upcoming turn indicator that doesn't cover anything.

    I couldn't hide it but can't remember if I swiped downwards.
