June 8 Information
I am using a Samsung Galaxy J7, with the Android version 10 operating system, using Google Maps for GPS. (I know that there may be better apps for navigation. That is not this question.) What I seem to have observed is that if I have Bluetooth turned on on the smartphone, and turned off on the Chevy, there are no voice commands from navigation, only map instructions. I don’t want to turn Bluetooth on on the car, because that will use Bluetooth in place of AM/FM/satellite radio. Is the phone just sending the voice commands to the car and having them fall into a bit bucket? Is this just the way it is, or can I do something? Robert McClenon ( talk) 17:01, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
Hi,
The article should include the meaning for the green and red triangles in the list. I have no clue what they mean. Thanks a lot! Ericdec85 ( talk) 17:12, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
- It does explain with mouseover text that green up arrow is an increase from previous ranking and red down arrow is a decrease from previous ranking. 209.149.113.5 ( talk) 18:56, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
- No, actually, it just says "Increase" and "Decrease" (and "Steady" for the blue dash). It doesn't say what the number means. It doesn't say if "Increase" means a change to a higher ranking or a higher-numbered (i.e. lower) ranking, and it doesn't say what the number means. I can guess but I shouldn't have to guess. As it stands, the table is using a shorthand notation appropriate for people already familiar with it, but that is not all readers. It needs an explanation in words (or a link to some other article where such notation is explained), probably at the top of the table where it talks about changes in ranking. Similarly the column headings should mention that they are showing a ranking and change. I'd do something myself but the article is semi-protected. -- 76.69.118.94 ( talk) 22:55, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
- Your question has been answered. The convention is very common, but if you wish to discuss the template or make a suggestion, you are welcome to do so at Template talk:Increase etc.-- Shantavira| feed me 07:00, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
- Wasn't my question, but thanks. -- 76.69.118.94 ( talk) 07:30, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
