Thought I'd start a new thread with a list of updates/changes in behavior that people have found for the new update.
It's largely a map update, and there's also a note that it updates the functionality with Android Auto and CarPlay, but I've noticed some behavioral changes so I'll start.
I'll be updating this OP with anyone else's finds so it's in an easy-to-find location.
List of changes with 122S5A:
- New "Tuning Knob" function setting: lets you choose what the tuning knob does while in the map, either change tracks/stations like normal, or you can make it zoom in/out the map (pretty useful IMO).
- Pressing the "Media" button while somewhere else in the system goes straight into your media Now Playing, old behavior was to bring up a "media selection" dialog, which was unnecessary, IMO. Good change.
-------
Also, fun fact, the UVO system runs on a modified version of Android Marshmallow (6.0). The updater file is an APK and took a quick look at it.
I'm honestly not sure if this existed before the update, but I noticed some nice additions to navigation, the sidebar info section shows Hotel, Food and Gas Station options along the way:
If you check the Details box on top, it gives you options for every exit on a highway until the exit you'll be taking:
Seems like a nice detail.
4/10/2018 - Another small update, the "calculating route" popup on the map while it's doing the nav calculations shows your preference for avoiding travel methods (i.e. "Avoid HOV Lanes/Toll Roads").
