1) I understand trying to ride in cities is kinda out of scope for this, but you might put a note to that effect in the route-finding suggestions.
2) Toward that end, I tried Times Square (just to see how it would handle it) and the bike got out of alignment vertically, with the "nose" pointed too far downward. Re-centering didn't fix.
3) Some way to save favorite starting points would be great. I've been plying with Wander (a similar app) and saving all sorts of neat places, so this would be a nice feature to add.
4) Also, a way of sharing favorites would be nice, maybe a way to submit them online and have them available through a menu in the main interface.
5) Maybe a "Random Location" button?
6) Possible map inset to show where you actually are?
7) Why does it ask for mike permissions? There some kind of voice thing there I haven't found? If search-by-voice is coming, then I can understand. Otherwise, it just seems odd.
Sorry such a long list, but really I am very impressed with it, and can't wait to explore some more. Great job, folks.
This is great feedback! A few of these are in our roadmap which we'll share soon, like saving and sharing favorites, random rides, and map insets. For now you can use Recent Rides to go back to places you want to reride. In our ride-finding tips we mention avoiding foregrounds and backgrounds with a lot of varying parallax, and could call out that happens a lot more in cities than cross-country. Lastly about mic permissions, you're correct we don't need them now, it's an automated requirement from Unity we haven't found the cause of yet.
