Something I would like to see is some sort of way to limit the search results as far asdistance goes. I couldn't count the number of time that I have entered in a business and what comes up is 2,100 miles away!! I know there is a sort by distance but for whatever reason I seem to get initial results from businesses hundreds or thousands of miles away. I would like to have a way to enter a default setting that, for example, lets me select "Limit results to xxx miles" and have it remember that setting unless I go in and change it. 99.9% of the time I am looking for something that is within 10 or 20 miles from where I am at. This would also make the search faster and have a lot less results in the listings.

Something else that is irritating is the amount of "repeated" listings. The "Outback" restaurantcan come up as "Outback Steakhouse", "Outback Restaurant", etc., yet they end up having the same listings.

 

Nah Silkk19I mean when you input a new destination and then you click continue or whatever after it gives you the trip overview, that woman's voice comes on and says "You are in an area where turn by turn guidance cannot be provided" or she eitherstarts out giving directions.

For eachnew trip that isentered you need to go in to guidance prompts and turn her off. Then if you go to your recent destinations list she should still be turned off for the trip that was previously entered, and even then sometimes she still isnt off for some reason.

So what I am proposing is that HB should make it possible that when you go in to guidance prompts and turn her off, she should be off for everything, whether you enter a new trip or not because it's really irritating to have to turn her off every single time you enter a new destination.

 

How about a feature to backup your settings to USB?

It's got a USB port.. it can be read...

Address book, pictures, nav settings, radio station settings..

They could back up everything except for the music. (that would get them into legal issues maybe)

I just had my radio swapped out and now get to re-add all my addresses etc.. very annoying.

Would be great to have a sort of flat file that we can use to load up the addresses and numbers..

I think the firmware update smokes your address book etc as well. (again... annoying)

 

I just wanted to bump this thread because I thought it was a great idea for everybody to put in their thoughts and ideas for things they'd like to see on the MyGig. Futil, I'm not sure if you sent the initial posts in, but I think after awhile I will compile all these into a document to send off to HB. It should be pretty useful for them.

Other than that, I have a few more enhancements I have thought of...


1) Option to reverse the Prev Track & Next Track hard buttons. I know they are correct they way they are; Up should be next, and down Previous (which is why I am saying to put in an option to reverse them because not everybody will agree with me). For some reason it bugs me that then I press the up button it plays the song below the one I am currently listening to.

2) Phone/NAV/Media Volume: The NAV Guidance volume should be adjusted as dBcompared to the media volume (display as % for a more friendly interface since most people dont know dB) ie. NAV volume should be adjusted as say something between 0% to 300% of media volume. This way when you turn up your radio, the NAV volume will be adjusted as well. Sometimes I have the radio turned way up, so I have to go in and adjust NAV prompts (if I'm using them) so I can actually hear them over the radio, but then when I have the radio at a more human volume and forget to turn the NAV volume down I feel like the NAV lady is screaming at me :-(

3) There should be a soft key while using UConnect on a phone call, drop the bluetooth and transfer to the handset.

4) When you do transfer to the handset, I noticed radio comes back on (which is ideal) but when you end the call, UConnect cuts back in to say "Phone call completed"... This is not necessary. UConnect knows that the call was transfered to the handset (obviously, since when you do it goes back to radio media), so it should know then to ignore the signal from the phone telling it the phone call is has ended so not to interupt the media.

5) More robust voice commands: I recently got a mic, but was slightly dissapointed to see the voice command setup. I don't think everything should be in a tree as it is. I realize some things need to be like destination entry but for others you shouldnt have to go through a command tree. Also, even with the tree setup you shouldn't have to wait for it to read off the available options to you before you can say the next command.

6) Again with voice commands: MyGig has an advandage over the Microsoft Sync in several ways, but one feature of the Sync that stands out, is the use of voice commands. (ie. Play artist The Ramones) This will probably require a more advanced voice recognition software since it doesn't have to only recognize certain commands, and probably require more voice training from the user's perspective, but it will be well worth it!

7)HDD Media Selection: I believe this has been said before, but this is where a tree would come in handy. With a tree in this aspect, a user should be able to hit the "Music" soft key, select "Artist" then select the artist from a list, then have all the albums from that artist displayed with soft keys at the bottom "List all Songs" "Play all Albums" (Of course if the user selects "List all songs", the list that currently is displayed when you select "Artist" will be displayed, and the "Play all Albums" should be changed to "Play all Songs" as it does now). The same could be done for other fields.

 

Hey Klibby..

I haven't sent them in yet for 2 reasons..

1. HB is flooded with work and emails due to staff going on vacation and the software release.. (I wanted to let things calm down a bit as the suggestions might be ignored if they are overwhelmed with other work)
and
2. I wanted to give everyone enough time to voice their opinions as I am sure everyone didn't get the chance to chime in yet..

But since I am flooded with tech emails, requests for helpon the web site, and adding content to the web site as well as nearly burned out from all the projects I keep taking on.. So If you want to compile all the requests into a single document and submit them then you can.. otherwise ifyou don'tget to itI will shortly. (Just please let me know if you do so that I wont duplicate your work) The last thing I need is to redo work that has already been done..

I hear a better emergency CD ejection method is in the works but you may want to mention that anyway..

Thanks

 

Hey everyone..

First time here.. I just bought a Chrysler 300. I was playing with myGig and noticed the same problems you all mentioned. I have one problem though, when I plugged in my Ipod into my car to upload my songs, only 3-4 playlists showed up to choose from. Why is that? Majority of my songs were uploaded from CDs. Where is the rest of my songs and what can I do so I can upload them as well.

By the way, is the limit really only 1600 songs regardless if you used up the 20 gig HD?

 

By the way, is the limit really only 1600 songs regardless if you used up the 20 gig HD?

I don't think it is limited by the number of songs, just the amount of available space. I believethe 1,600 song limit was calculated based on the available space of the original 20GB HD and the actual limit might be slightly more or less than that.

Okay, here's my enhancement request. When using the voice commands it recites the available options and THEN shows you the list. I'd prefer that the list be displayed as it is reciting them so I can have afew more seconds to scan what I want to say while it is talking.

 

ok thanks, I thought that. What about my other songs not appearing when I try to upload my songs to mygig?!? When I hit "select all" to upload, it only shows 1 out of 1 page of songs to upload and only downloaded about half of my songs and I know I didn't reach 20 gig in my Ipod.

 

I keep receiving enhancement requests via email to pass on so since we will be compiling this and sending it in I guess I'll put them here..

Wendell:

1) Standardize on going back from a menu. Currently you either get a back arrow in the upper left corner or a DONE button in the lower right corner.Put both of these in the upper left position.[/align][/align]2) Make a user selectable option to reverse the radio tuning and volume funtions. I would prefer to use the dial in the lower left cornerto change the radio station andsoft buttonson the tounch screento change the volume.[/align]

 

What about my other songs not appearing when I try to upload my songs to mygig?!?

I've never tried uploading from an iPod so I don't know what the block might be.

However, if you're doing this while in motion you might see if you get different results while parked. I know some things have a limited # of pages when moving, like the Points of Interest list.
